Everglades Safari Park

Great short airboat ride. Would recommend. Plus a quick gator show and you can pay 3 bucks to take a picture with a nice size baby (toddler at 2 feet) alligator.

Super fun! Tons of wildlife, definitely took us by surprise with how many different animals we could see. Their "shuttle" service left a fair bit to be desired though... it would be better if they offer pickup/dropoff from the airport as well as Miami Beach, this place could make a killing off of all those people who end up having huge layovers at the airport.

Bought a tour from Groupon. It was fun something to do on the weekend. The best part was watching them feed the alligators.

They do deliver what they promise. You get to go on an airboat you see gators and you get to hold a baby gator. I did not like the length of the tour. It was too long with not enough guiding. Airboats are cool, but very noisy. It doesn't feel like floating down the Everglades, it feels like a regular boat but more noisy. I also wish the animals in the show was threated with more dignity. They are poked in the eye many times per day to demonstrate how the eyelids work. It probably doesn't hurt them, but I don't understand why they turn their eyelids into entertainment. It's a little rednecky for my taste.

The ride was short but fun. Seeing alligators in their natural habitat was interesting.

The airboat ride was fun and informative. We saw a number of Alligators and a lot of water fowl. The boat captain was personable and knowledgeable. Once that was over we went to the Alligator park which was a let down. The ranger spoke for a few minutes, but was not very engaging or otherwise educational. The trip was just OK for me. The airboat ride made it worth the cost of admission.

At the beginning I wasn't sure if I was going to like the experience as I like to take care of nature but I would have regreted if I wiudlnt have gone in those fast ships! Incredible experience ! It's cheaper if you do it online though ! And don't forget your national park card !

Very interesting. We had a very friendly and very helpful guide. The park is also interesting. We got to know a lot of crocodiles

GAWGEOUS. one of the biggest parks with tons to do. Cannot recommend enough.

Not awesome, but worth looking at. Airboat is an exotic vehicle, and riding it for the first time feels like an attraction in a Disney park. You won't see many reptiles or birds at close range as they hide in the grass. However, the alligator show was both bewitching and scary - it's impressive to see these dangerous beasts trained to listen to humans.

Don t go in the summer or if it s a hot day... or you won t see ANY gator during the riding! After the riding there is a presentation were you can see a few gators. If you par $3 you can even take a picture with a baby gator witch was nice but overall was below my expectations.

Overall the staff was very friendly and we enjoyed the tour. Also the show after the tour was great.

The airboat ride was good. So was the show. Unfortunately did not see many alligators during the ride. They have a show and photo opportunity with a baby gator which is good.

The walk was very good but only two crocodiles were seen

Nice facilities, good airboat tour and alligator show. Doug, our airboat captain, has a degree and years of experience in wildlife management. Very knowledgeable (and very funny). Chris, the alligator guy does alligator rescue and is also very knowledgeable (but not quite as funny -- sorry Chris).

Air boat ride was well worth it! The guide was entertaining and knowledgable. Also, you can get a discount, if you have an annual park pass.

We had a great experience at the Everglades Safari Park. I wish the airboat tour lasted a while longer (we had the basic tour, not private), but was great for the price. The show and nature walk after the tour was a great addition as well.

Had a blast on the air boat ride but not too many things to do!

Exceptional airboat in the mangrove. Aligator, magnificent flora and fauna

You get to see quite a few alligators and show post safari is also good

Everglades baby! Awesome guide beautiful scenery chock full of wildlife and wilderness!

Great experience. The rangers need to get their facts straight, different rangers gives different facts about the animals and the park.

Beautiful place to appreciate the nature that surrounds us

Very nice and friendly staff. Airboat ride is lots of fun with good insights of the everglades and it's animals. They asked for tip multiple times which was a little bit annoying and the "museum" was kind of dirty and very old - that's why I give them 4 of 5 stars. I would still recommend this place for an everglade adventure for a fair price.

Good. Get a discount coupon from Group on. Was able to couple of alligators and guide was nice.

Enjoyed the boat ride and the tour guide was very good.

Lots of fun! Captain was great, was funny and knowledgeable... gator show was really neat, kids all loved it from 2 to 14. Best part was there was a gator sitting on the bank right next to the trail.

The guy that gave us the tour was awesome very friendly. He had a few good jokes as well. We seen 3 gators a turtle and some birds.

Air boat ride was great(may use your ear plugs) but what was even better was the alligator show after the air boat ride.

The rangers are very professional. They will teach you about nature in an educational way. It is best to take a private air boat.

I recommend this park for a family visit. We were ten family members. We bought our tickets online. We didn't need to wait at any time during our stay, which was good. We started with an air-boat tour. I didn t time it, but it was a bit short. The guide was fun and knowledgable. There are so many air-boats going at once that we heard the others while we were out on the water. During this type of tour out in the wilderness, you hope to be far from any other tourists. The boat traffic also scares away the gators. We did see a few. It was interesting to be out on the water, gliding over the grass. An air-boat ride is a unique experience. There were many signs on the boat encouraging us to tip the driver. Think what you will There was a short alligator show afterwards. The man was in the enclosure with the gators. This wasn't an act to show how daring he was. He was a knowledgeable herpetologist who had handled reptiles for years. He interacted with the gators to demonstrate how their reputation as mindless killers was ill-deserved. He called them by name and they responded. It was interesting. We got to hold a baby gator after the show. They accepted a $3 donation per person for this. The same man chatted with us about the animals for as long as we wanted. He was clearly proud of his work. In retrospect, all the additional solicitations for money were bit excessive after having paid the full fee for entrance. I would prefer that they charged a bit more for admission, then didn t ask for any more money. They could also lengthen the boat tour a bit. Find a spot far from other cars in the parking lot. Their spots are *very* small. Overall, our visit was a pleasant one. Our kids were excited to see the animals and ride the air-boat. The information given by the guides was good. The boat tour was fun.

The private tour is amazing, especially if you get a good guide.

Didnt see wild gators but it was peaceful and informative.

I thought it's a bigger place (I traveled 1 hour) there is only a airboat tour and a little park to go for a walk but it was very nice overall the airboat tour and the alligator show

We go to see so many rare species of bird as well.Also, so many alligators as well.

What fun! This was an excursion after we got off a cruise ship in the way back to the airport. So much fun!

Really beautiful and unique site. I took a boat tour and it was very educational.

A nice experience See the fauna and flora in its natural state very rewarding.

Do not expect a fast boat shown in photos. If you want that it it is $240 !! Absolutely filthy restrooms both in unimpressive restaurant and by parking area. Good luck finding a parking spot in small lot. Spotted 2 alligators from a distance. For an state park pretty bad. Photos on website do not do justice. Did get a lot of info on types of snakes and poisonous vegetation as well as an alligator show. We drove from Naples which was not worth it but if you are already in area and want to spend $28 each it may be less of a let down

The restaurant is expensive and not good ... to avoid

One of the best tours I've ever been on. Very educational and tons and tons to see. This is where I learned that alligators are black in color and not green.

A different and very fun experience I recommend it 100%

This place was a complete blast and the tour guide was very friendly.

Fantastic experience. The boat tour was fun to see alligators and to cruise around on the air boat. Our tour guide Spencer was funny and knowledgeable. They also have a show where they have big alligators and snakes.

Took the first morning air boat ride. Saw a dozen of alligators in swamp. Not sure how is it compared to other parks. But I found it worth the cost because of the air boat ride, gator show and alligator nuggets in food.

Pleasant discovery walk in a space flooded with summary water suitable for alligators. Very interesting visit.

Not much to see there, stop over on my way to the airport.

Navigating the Miami Everglades was a very satisfying experience. I visited Miami for Black Friday and I did not expect to do nature tourism activities, however, after doing so I feel that without the Everglades Miami it would not have been the same.

It was great here. In the airboat I felt like I was in the movie Miami Vice. Alligators just anywhere in the water or in show. Parrots and reptiles must also be seen. Go there if you are already in Miami.

Excellent nature adventure! Get up close and personal.

its ok but could be much better we dont see too many big gators on water

Awesome marshes. It s a river of grass. Sadly we didn t spot any alligators in the heat but for sure there are so many there.

We had fun but I've seen better . We barely saw alligators while on the airboat ride. The tour guide was nice and pretty funny though. After the air boat ride there is a show that is only about 5 to 10 min long. They allow you to take pictures with a baby alligator for $3. My son is 5 yrs old and this was his first air boat ride and he really enjoyed it. As for me, I've gone to other ones in that past and thought this one was okay.

All of the alligators! Very fun and professional crew. Hands down the best air boat operator in the Everglades!

Although we did not see crocodiles .... well worth a visit.

It was a great experience with the exception of the staff at the ticket booth and monitoring the line to get on the airboat. They were unfriendly and one lady was flat out rude to every person she came across. However, the airboat staff were friendly and funny and made being on the boat incredibly enjoyable!
