Fantastic experience, and good to get away from the crowded theme parks in Orlando for a while! We chose the early morning 1/2h airboat tour which includes a visit to the gator park afterwards. On the boat ride we got to see some wild gators, and Captain Lorraine was awesome! My 3 year old son loved it, and the park visit afterwards was totally worth it (the fact that all shows are scheduled 30 min. apart makes it very easy to “flow” through the park). Park is very well maintained and clean, set in a beautiful environment! The playground for the kids was also a big plus! Just a small side-note for those who need coffee on an early morning park visit; bring your own because they don’t serve any. I highly recommend Wild Florida 10/10!

We did the 1/2 hour airboat tour and it was very fun. We had a 2 month old baby with us and I would recommend bringing your own infant sized headphones if you have them. They provide adult sized ones but we brought our own for the baby and it was convenient to have. Our baby loved the airboat ride and slept the whole time.
The park was also super fun. The animals are unique compared to animals you would see in a traditional zoo and it wasn’t overly crowded which made for a great day out with family!

2nd visit here. Many changes and upgrades since our first visit about 5 years ago. What a nice way to spend 3-4 hours....or maybe more!
BEST part? The interactive bird experience! $2/person to feed parakeets, cockatiels from INSIDE their enclosure. They were on our hands, shoulders. We were not in any way rushed thru. Loved it. Nice exotic animal show....short; only 3 animals....but they change animals up thru the day, so you can watch two in one day and see very different shows. Feed alligators, walk thru what in essence is an exotic animal zoo, take a ride in an airboat to see gators, herons, cranes and more. Well done, Wild Florida!!

We booked the 1/2 hr airboat ride using a voucher from our holiday company. Really easy to book by email. We thoroughly enjoyed the airboat ride, such a lovely experience with beautiful scenery, saw a young alligator in the canal area and a large one in the lake. Then we went into the gator park and saw some shows and exhibits.. it was definitely worth the visit

Airboat tour was amazing. Dennis, our guide, was funny, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He showed us some great spots around the lake, was very interactive, and gave us our money's worth! The zoo was pretty cool also. They had fun, educational shows throughout the afternoon. Pretty good variety of different animals. Great experience overall!

Great 1 hour Airboat tour with Captain Farmer. He was entertaining when we stopped to look for gators and gave us info about the land, we wove through the grass and lillies at a comfortable speed.
It was awesome seeing baby alligators and then Mama rising up from the reeds when the boat fired up to leave, you couldn't even tell she was there!
We had a look round the other animals, fed the large gators some of their dried food and gave the little gators some sausage on a wire 'fishing rod' (extra charge and my nephews loved it).
We booked a 3.15 tour and the park closes at 6pm, we ran out of time to look at the animals and didnt do the safari or other animal experiences so you could spend a lot more time there. It was an amazing last day of our vacation.

Whenever we have out of state visitors I always bring them to Wild Florida because it's a very unique experience for them, you're feeling what the real Florida is all about. I'll never get tired of riding the airboat & see exotic birds, & if you're lucky enough, spot some alligators on the lake. The shows at the alligator park is very educational & entertaining & it's already included if you purchase with an airboat tour. The staffs are always friendly & helpful. Our airboat captain that day, Capt. Mark is very knowlegeable & friendly in answering our questions. It was a good day. Everyone was happy & had a unique experience coming here to Florida.

The Airboat ride was incredible we saw some amazing animals and our guide was fantastic!!
We were the second to last Airboat ride of the day and it was disappointing hat the animal walk through area closed so early not giving us time to see everything. We were hoping to eat at the Chomp House Grill only to learn they had closed before we arrived. Lastly as we were leaving we wanted to buy souvenirs for our kids because we had such a good time and don’t buy earlier as we didn’t want to hold onto them on the boat, and the gift shop was closed as well. I recommend buying tickets earlier in the day should you want to take advantage of the whole experience.

We really enjoyed the air boat ride and captain Kevin was the best. We had our grand kids with us and they really enjoyed the drifting and seeing the gators. Kevin was an excellent captain and showed us lots of gators and 2 babies. Would recommend the 1 hour 4:30 tour on Thursday as he showed us the airboat drag races that was amazing

We took a half day package that included a one hour air boat tour, admission to adjacent zoo area, digital photo, gator feed, and lunch. Very worth the package. Air boat captain Dennis was funny and personable. Answered may questions and gave history of the area and the Everglades. We saw many birds and even an alligator. enjoyed the visit.

Hello! We did the 1 hour air boat ride w/the drive through safari and walk around animal park. I would suggest you contacting the park directly as they can best inform you of options. We LOVED the 1 hour ride. Book the earliest time you can becasue the wildlife is most active in the morning and at dusk. I'm a florida native and I recommend this experience to everyone!!! Be sure to check out the baby albino alligators that recently hatched - so cool!!!!
Wandering what is included in the BBQ lunch,as we have pickier eaters? Thanks

You can choose from their menu: chicken strips, wrap, cheeseburger, pulled pork
each meal comes with baked beans or coleslaw and a bottle of water.
You can add fries, onion rings, etc for $2 each. I had picky eaters too, myself included, and everyone was very impressed with the food!

My family went last month and they have several locations available for pickup service. I called the customer service number and told them where I was staying and they gave me the nearest pickup location to me, which turned out to be about 5-10 minutes away walking distance. Had a great time!
