We just came back from a cruise that was fabulous and our flight was not until late the next afternoon. We called several locations and none said they would pick up at the airport hotels. We called Gator Park and the first question was can you pick up at the airport hotels and they said yes. The next question I... more

I did a little searching online before choosing Gator Park. I chose this one mostly for convenience to the Shark Valley Loop Road Visitor Center of the Everglades National Park (http://www.nps.gov/ever/ -- don't miss it, you'll see more alligators and up close on a walk or 2 hour tram tour). Also, Gator Park seemed to get some ok and good... more

Gator Park is situated on the eastern edge of the Everglades on SR 41 which runs between Miami and Naples. There are several similar places nearby and many others offering airboat rides all along this road. We chose this one because it was advertised and we had coupons reducing our admission to $18. The highlight was the airboat ride. This... more

I've taken many groups to Gator Park and it's a very good Everglades experience. Everyone seems to have enjoyed it. The airboat guides are informative and fun and the wildlife show is a lot of fun too. The restaurant offers the opportunity to try Gator Tail and they do a good job of preparing it. The gift shop is typical... more

I really liked the airboat tour of the swamps and seeing the alligators, iguana, turtles and birds in a natural habitat. The tour guides are characters! They also have no problem letting everyone know that tipping is expected and appreciated. I did agree with the conservation theme that Gator Park employees sressed during their presentations. Overall, the tour of nature... more

I pretty much agree with everything said by the previous poster. Disappointing because the place gets a very good review from the 2007 Frommer's Guide. The airboat ride was short and dull. No effort was made to spot anything interesting after we left the canal. I actually enjoyed the show a bit more because the presenter was a good showman.... more

We visited the website and bought our tickets online. The website led us to believe there was so much to do at the park. This isn't the case. the property itself is quite small and so there is a limite amount that can be laid on. There is a restaurant, which we didn't use, and a shop. Apart from that... more
