I have always wanted to ride in one of those swamp boats and this is the place to do it. We strapped in and took off, wind in our hair, looking for gators. After the ride we looked through the exhibits and saw even more gators. more

After reading reviews here on Trip Advisor, my wife and I...and our older kids (ages 20, 18 and 14) decided to give Sawgrass a shot this morning. We are in Fort Lauderdale vacationing and we had a very good time. We got there, bought our tickets and two minutes later we were all sitting in the airboat getting safety instructions... more

My family and I visited the park on July 16th, 2008. When we drove up to the park we noticed many employees mowing and cleaning the grounds (great sign) and there were nice picnic table areas near the parking lot (maybe next time we will pack a lunch too!). I will admit it was very hot but since we are... more

Visited Sawgrass Rec Park last April, were looking for a nice airboat ride to see some alligators. This place did not dissappoint, saw 2 big ones and at mini zoo held baby gators. Much better deal to go here than to Miami and get charged $20 to get a gator photo!. Great tour and well worth the money. I highly... more

We took our family of five to Florida for the first time ever. We went to Sawgrass to go on the air boat ride. It was one of the highlights of our trip! The tour guide was great! We saw four alligator and one of them actually came within one foot of the boat and stayed there ten minutes. We... more

I've always wanted to take an airboat ride in the Everglades and finally got to do it. It was so much fun! My husband and I arrived at 12:45pm. You have to go in the store to make your reservations. We were told that our airboat ride would be at 1:30 and that we could check out the endangered species... more

Spent a great half day there. Check out the free "See Florida" type literature before you go we found a coupon for $4 off each in one of these books. The airboat ride was the best I have ever taken - really fast and exciting. Even though it was nesting season we got to see a gator which came really... more

Having never before seen the Everglades, I wanted to see them up close and personal. We chose this place because it was close to Fort Lauderdale. When we first pulled into the Sawgrass Recreation Park, I thought to myself "What a Dump!" Had it been up to me, I would have just left, but we booked the airboat and went... more

I have not had the opportunity to experience the other many offerings of the Florida Everglades but the Sawgrass recreation Park was great. It was a little beat up as I got there just two weeks after Wilma but the education and experience more than compensated. Captain Tim of our fan-boat was truly amazing and shared a lot of wonderful... more
