Airboat Rides

There’s no better way to see the Everglades than from the seat of an airboat. Glide across the sawgrass, feel the power of the engine, and hang on for our signature 360° spins that you won’t find anywhere else in the area. Join the Airboat + General Admission experience, or book a private tour with your own certified Master Naturalist captain.

Hands On

Animal Encounters

Hold a juvenile alligator, help feed the big ones, and hand feed lettuce to the friendliest capybaras in Florida. Our small group encounters are guided by the animal team, so you get up close safely and leave knowing a lot more about the animals than when you arrived.

Open Daily

The Farm

Walk the grounds and meet the locals: more than 2,000 American alligators in the main pond, crocodiles, snakes, tortoises, a bobcat, and plenty of surprises along the trail. Two live alligator shows run throughout the day and are included with admission.
