“The park is great lots to do and really enjoyed feeding the Alligators, the lady who worked at the stall was very friendly and gave us lots of facts when we had our picture taken with the Alligator, Air boat tour was an amazing experience and lunch was good, the only reason for my average review was the rushed nature of the tour I was expecting a 7 hour experience but it was cut short as the driver told us to meet back at 1pm, the park has a lot to offer and I would have liked a few more hours to look around, my advice would be to get…”

Wild Florida airboat ride plus hotel pickup, BBQ lunch, and wildlife park time near Orlando, for a real swamp-and-alligator day.
“The trip itself was good. Airboat was fantastic. We enjoyed feeding the crocs as well in the wildlife park. Our departure in the morning was delayed leaving due to another party not turning up. We left and 5 minutes later had to turn back to collect the party who had not been there. This meant a lot of eating around for us. The driver seemed stressed. When we arrived it all felt rushed as the driver wanted to leave promptly. We didn’t get to see the crocodile feeding show due to the timings which was disappointing. We had to rush our lunch as well which was included.”
