The people at the park were great, friendly, and helpful. Captain John was our guide and he did his best to get us to see some alligators, taking us not only out on the lake but down the canal to another area where yes, we say some small gators. The wildlife park was very interesting, but of course in the heat we all were tired, especially the animals. This place really is 'out in the middle of nowhere' which is exactly what we wanted for the wildlife tour. The Chomp House eatery could use some upgrading, in our opinion--the cashier didn't know the difference between a head of iceberg and leaf lettuce, so one of us ended up with a $9 box of iceberg lettuce and dressing. The 'corndog' is really little pigs in blankets, so for $55 for four of us we really didn't get much. I realize it is just a 'fun day out', but I still expect a little better value for money. The local sand hill cranes and peacocks were fun dinner partners, but will snatch your plates from you in a second.

We paid for an hour tour online. However we were unaware that we had to make an appointment prior to attending. So when we got their they no longer had spots available. My wife an I were disappointed dude to paying for the full hr. So the lady that works there got is on for the 30 min tour so we were able to experience part of the Everglades but still a bummer.

The Chinese buffet left a lot to be desired. The van driver was very informative & helpful. Mike our guide at the river was so kind and understanding. He made the swim with the manatees a special experience. The park was very informative and made for a nice afternoon.

We took the 30 minute airboat ride and felt it was very worth the money! The wildlife park, which is included, made the day very enjoyable. The kids were able to hold an alligator and see alligators being fed. Lots of other neat animals to see, too!

I had purchased tickets for a Tuesday and was unable to make it due to weather because we were coming from another state. They allowed us to change the date to whenever we wanted so we could take our time and enjoy the facility and the sites.
