I believe animals are best in their natural habit being animals and not passed around or handled. Join us as we venture out to Wild Florida from Orlando for one wild day On this tour, you will experience an airboat ride on the Central Florida Everglades, a drive thru safari expedition, free time to explore the wildlife park, lunch from the Chomphouse Grill, and leave with a souvenir photo to remember the day. There is an option at the begin of the tour for a photo (we declined this so I’m not sure the price of the souvenir photo) and afterwards, there is a Gator show (we skipped this only because I didn’t want to see any animals being aggravated or harassed so I’m not sure whether this occurs or not. Our tour guide for the boat was Giovanni and he was very personable and had vocalized several years (since 2007) working and driving the boats which helped me feel comfortable with the ride. If you have time I highly suggest making time for an airboat ride. Also, the boat is not too fast or bumpy at all, so don’t be afraid of that (I was worried). It was a bit chilly with the wind so we didn’t get to see many alligators but we did see some! The swamp is amazing and really a unique experience I highly recommend. The airboat tour felt like lit was about an hour (I could be wrong) and they provide you with ear plugs to protect hearing from the large fan. The last tour of the day goes out at 4pm and tickets were $30 each (make sure to bring cash to tip your airboat driver!). There are no airboat tours that operate within the actual national park, it the park does provide 3 operating airboats, Everglades Safari being one of the 3.

Because he measures in at 1,000 pounds and a whopping 13.5 feet long, we gave him his own exhibit where he has plenty of room to sunbathe or cool off in his pond. Most of the alligators in our Gator Pond are actually labeled "nuisance" alligators by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission and were relocated to Wild Florida because they lost their natural fear of humans and would've been euthanized if left in the wild. In the heart of our Gator and wildlife Park is our Gator Pond with more than 150 freshwater American alligators and crocodiles inside.
