Everglades Alligator Farm

"GREAT experience. A fanboat ride through the everglades, a walk-through zoo, and a gator wrangler/feeding all in one fell swoop. All of the adult alligators on site are rescues who have gotten too used to people to be released into the wild again. But they are bred, and their offspring are reintroduced back into the Everglades to keep the population strong. They also capture invasive pythons and anacondas and keep them in a reptile house on the farm. It's a great facility, a great conservation effort, and a great way to spend the afternoon!"

"Definitely worth the stop, my boyfriend and I visited and it was wonderful. Upon buying our tickets we were immediately greeted “Hello!” by some talking parrots. Loved all the different animals, getting to see the gator feeding and even getting to hang out with them on picnic tables by the fence. We had a wonderful time."

"Johnny the fanboat pilot was an awesome guy, took time out of his day to talk to us about various subjects around the Everglades and pulled off the boat tricks perfectly. Lots of fun, he made it really special for my girlfriend when he saw my girlfriend bring her camera out he spun the boat perfectly so she'd catch the splash! The complimentary alligator show that came with the ride was awesome too. Got to hold a baby alligator and see large alligators and many other animals up close. It's not a farm anymore either it's a rescue. More fun than I expected, girlfriend was very happy!"

"Been wanting to check this place out and I'm so glad I did! Did the entire package which is so worth it. The airboat ride was so much fun and it's like a mini zoo in there. Bunny made the encounter experience amazing, she was awesome and very knowledgeable! So many gators and animals to see. It's a must!"

"I visited in January and just did the show. It was short but interesting, and you got to hold some juvenile gators (about 3 years old). It's also a mini-zoo and there are plenty of other animals to see, even though gators are the main event. Additionally, they have some other representatives of the crocodilian order and the American Crocodile. It's relatively easy to locate and definitely worth a stop, especially if you have young kids."
