    We booked the 1 hour airboat tour and it was really awesome. We saw different birds like herons and bald eagles. In addition we also saw baby alligators and turtles. It was a fantastic ride with a great driver that provided a lot of good information during the ride. After the ride we visited the animal park where they had more alligators, kangaroos, florida panthers, bobcats and other wild animals. If you go in the winter season as we did, you should bring long clothes and a windbreaker jacket. During the ride on the open water it can get a bit chilly. Overall a really good experience 👍🏻

    Impersonal, dull boat ride over reeds. Unless you have to ride an airboat, skip this idea, or at least this place. Considering this is a tourist activity, they provide no tour concept - just get as many people through a 25min ride and get home. No explanation about the boat, the lake, the vegetation, the animals. No history or science fun facts, no stories, no personality.

    Evaluation of Wild Florida Airboats & Gator Park Our recent visit to Wild Florida Airboats & Gator Park was exemplary from start to finish. This attraction delivers an outstanding blend of adventure, natural beauty, and family-friendly experiences that far exceed typical expectations for wildlife and airboat tours. Airboat Tour — 60 Minutes of Exceptional Wilderness Exploration The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the 60-minute airboat tour, which was both thrilling and deeply immersive. Skimming across the pristine headwaters of the Florida Everglades, the experience offered unparalleled up-close views of native wildlife, including alligators, birds of prey, and marshland ecosystems that represent Florida’s unique biodiversity. The natural scenery throughout the wetlands was breathtaking, making this not just a ride but a memorable journey into authentic Florida wilderness beyond the typical tourist trail. A special commendation is due to Captain Mike for his exceptional leadership and hospitality throughout the airboat experience. His professionalism, engaging narration, and evident passion for both the region and its wildlife enhanced the excursion enormously. Captain Mike balanced informative commentary with friendly interaction, making the tour educational as well as exhilarating. His dedication ensured that every moment on the water was enjoyable and offered meaningful insights into the Everglades environment. Facilities and Additional Experiences Beyond the airboat adventure, Wild Florida offers well-maintained facilities that complement the outdoor experience beautifully: Zoo and Gator Park: The zoological area boasts a diverse assemblage of native and exotic animals, all housed in spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed habitats. Visitors can observe and learn about over 200 animals, including opportunities for guided encounters and close looks at species ranging from capybaras to giraffes. Safari Drive-Thru: The safari component allows guests to explore a variety of animals from the comfort and safety of their own vehicle, creating an engaging and flexible way to experience wildlife. Dining: The on-site dining options were excellent. The food was flavorful, well-prepared, and an enjoyable complement to the day’s activities. Service and Staff Performance Throughout our visit, staff members demonstrated professionalism, friendliness, and genuine enthusiasm for their roles. Their willingness to answer questions, provide guidance, and ensure a seamless guest experience was evident at every touch point. The knowledgeable team contributed significantly to the overall positive impression of the park. Overall Impression Wild Florida Airboats & Gator Park represents a first-rate wildlife attraction that combines adventure, education, and hospitality in a way that appeals to visitors of all ages. The coordination of the safari, zoo, dining, and airboat tour is seamless, making for a full-day experience that was engaging, rewarding, and highly memorable. Based on our visit, we offer high praise and sincere recommendation for this attraction to anyone seeking an enriching outdoor adventure in Central Florida.

    This is one of those gems in Florida that most don't know about. We came a few years ago when they opened and had a blast! We decided to go again but do the behind the scenes tour and had the time of our life. I wish I could remember the young lady's name that guided us because was outstanding! She was so fun and answered every question. The animals were everywhere and a lot of species to get near and feed. My wife fed everyone lol. Please go and enjoy as this place has the drive thru safari as well as a decent sized zoo and lots more animals there. Just Go!!!! By the way, you get a free lunch with the behind the scenes tour!!!!!

    Wild Florida is an absolute must-visit. We did the airboat tour, gator park and sloth encounter, and every experience was outstanding. The airboat tour was fast, fun and informative, with knowledgeable guides who made learning about the local wildlife and wetlands genuinely entertaining. The gator park was well laid out, educational and great for all ages — up close with Florida’s wildlife without feeling rushed or commercial. And the sloth encounter? Pure magic. Calm, personal and unforgettable. Getting to pat a sloth was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and the keepers were passionate and welcoming. Everything was well organised, the staff were fantastic, and you can tell they genuinely care about the animals and the experience they’re creating. If you’re in Florida, stop scrolling and book it. Wild Florida is 100% worth your time.
