Drive your own safari at Wild Florida, see zebras and alligators, feed giraffes for an extra fee, and explore Gator Park for $35.

“The Gator park was a good experience. I enjoyed all the signs they had with 'gator facts'. They had more animals in cages (monkeys, birds, etc.) in a walk thru section and also had a petting zoo for the kids. I didn't do the petting zoo because my kid is 18, haha. As for the Drive Thru Safari, it's a great place to see animals up close. You can drive at your own pace and take as much time as you need. My only 'issue' is that there were a few vehicles that would stop and look at the animals for 5 minutes, which is their right to do. I…”

8.1 Hour Everglades Airboat Tour Orlando Florida

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 163 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $68

Review of Orlando’s one-hour Everglades airboat tour, with alligators, birds, raised seating, guide tips, pricing, logistics, and honest drawbacks.

“My wife said the boat ride was fine. It's something she's wanted to do for a while. My 11 year old daughter that it was so-so. Myself and my 5 year old son were unable to go due to my son being scared. The reason this is a 2 star review is the boat guide saw my son crying and not wanting to go, and instead of trying to reassure him it would be fun and trying to talk him into giving it a try, stated "If you can't get him under control I can't let him go because it's too much of a liability". No empathy or attempt to…”
