I've lived in South Florida for four years and finally decided it was high time to see the everglades. Some friends and I took advantage of a Groupon and decided on Holiday park. The admission includes a 20 minute Alligator show which features the stars of Animal Planet's "Gator Boys", and an opportunity to take a picture holding a baby... More

This park offers airboat tours of the Everglades for about $25 per adult. Airboats tend to be a) loud and b) windy so be sure to secure your belongings and bring plugs if you have sensitive ears. The tour is well worth it, though, as you can see an amazing variety of wildlife and learn a lot about one of... More

Recommended this trip by Bahia Mar Hotel cost $55 - $15 to Hotel and $40 cash to Tour Company who had an 8 seater minivan. Doubtless if you have a hire car and use web discount you can do it for less. It takes about 30 mins from Fort Lauderdale and driver points out sights of interest. Airboat ride lasts... More

Park visit dependent on seasonal rain. The more rain we've had, the better your experience. Still - neat to see crocs, etc.

I went with my boyfriend on the airport tour of the Everglades and had a blast! It was pouring when we went - cold rain at that - but the boats have a great cover. (Everyone except our tour guide was dry - poor guy was soaked!) I can't remember his name, but he'd been in and around the Everglades... More

I did a lot of research before picking which airboat ride to do while in the area and I'm glad we picked Everglades Holiday Park. First off, it was the closest park to our hotel in Weston, only about 20 minutes away. It was also one of the cheapest running about $25 for adults. They have an Internet coupon for... More
