We went on a whim while exploring Florida and were very satisfied with the experience. The facility is well maintained and clean for guests. The boat ride is affordable and a thrilling way to experience the natural surroundings. I took many photos and held a real alligator. Would recommend to anyone, just bring sunscreen.

My family, friends, and I visited the Everglades Alligator Farm this past Sunday, and we had an absolutely amazing experience! The facilities were clean and the staff were engaging and friendly. My son and I took part in the alligator encounter, where we had the unique opportunity to feed and hold baby alligators ranging from four months to ten years old before feeding the larger ones. Afterward, we explored the grounds, saw snakes, more alligators, and other animals, and ended the day with a fun airboat ride. I highly recommend the Everglades Alligator Farm for a fun and memorable family outing!

Spent the morning at the Everglades alligator farm. Well organized and clean. We watched the show which was fun but the boat ride was the best part. We also enjoyed some snacks at the food truck and wandered around the whole facility. Overall I would recommend this place.

Really cool and interesting experience! Lee (hope I’m spelling his name correctly) is a great guy and an excellent instructor. He provides fascinating information and demonstrations about these amazing animals. The boat tour is also really fun, and the drivers do a great job. The only downside for me is that the poor little gators are handed out to the audience. While this is obviously an exciting experience, some kids and random people don’t handle them properly. I understand it’s not possible to separate people in that situation, but it still feels like those who mistreat the animals should be placed next to the big ones in the pond—then they might learn a lesson about how life works. All things considered, an amazing experience—definitely worth it!

We did the experience for $80. Bunny was our tour guide and she was amazing! Friendly, funny and knowledgeable. My family really enjoyed the personal touch. The airboat guide and ride was so much fun too. Definitely recommend
