Customer Reviews
Such a lovely park, we went when the alligators were sleeping but there wasn't a shortage of other wildlife to view such as the turkey vultures, reptile encounters, and the "inhina". Our boat tour guide Hailey(?)was amazing! So knowledgeable and pleasant. 10/10, am coming back in the summer. Expect to spend a bit of money if you want to take part in all of the events like the boat ride, train ride, reptile encounter, etc.
The staff are really knowledgeable and have a passion for the swamp! The boat tour was our favourite part, seeing the wildlife. We also enjoyed the animal exhibition where we got to pet the reptiles and learn about them. The train tour was a wealth of information in regards to the history of the swamp and gave historical context. A fantastic day and a must see!
My father and I went for the Halloween event and had a fun time! It could have been better if it was a little more organized but still had fun! Can't wait to see if they do more next year. Also lots of facts and exhibits on the fauna and wildlife there! Be sure to check it out! I'm not going to add ALL the Halloween photos...let's just say it's a must for the bucket list!!
Did it all... boat ride (if you only do one thing do this) train ride and animal show. The boat ride was my favorite saw 3 wild alligators (one 6fter) alot of turtles, birds, and squirrels. There are several alligators in closed off areas because they are rescues that have been human fed and you can see them up close by way of walkway above. Overall was a great way to spend a day! Staff were very freindly and knowledgeable.
We took the boat and it was such a interesting experience. The captain gave us so much information and was fun to go out with. Lots of really cool animals to see. Also the park itself had a great reptile show and its super cool to see the gators and wild life out there.
