We had a half day free in Miami, so we decided to take a tour on Everglades, and by luck we picked Safari Park. The airboat tour (basic $23 per adult) took a 40 minute ride on the Everglades, up to a hammock (kind of an island) where a big alligator lives. We had the opportunity to see several alligators...

it is intersting because of all the birds you see and the other animals but we thought it was too expensive just to see the animals you can see at any zoo. If you do not have anything to do and you want to have a close contact with nature, it is a good option. It is also a good... More

We only saw one alligator on the boatride through the Everglades, in fact we saw more alligators at the ticket-office (I believe they feed them there to attract or something), an this was actually the best part of our visit. The nature-walk in the park was just a 5 min. walk where you can see som different kind of alligators... More

Full of alligator spotting! We took the little bus around and it was good timing and great introduction to the park.

First time we went to Coppertown (nearer Miami end Feb 2010) and this was fantastic, saw lots of wildlife and Alligators. 2nd time went on Speedy Air boats (Everglades city), no alligators or wildlife although right at last minute saw a manatee.

We are very sorry you had a bad experience or saw no wildlife but you have us mistaken with a another attraction. We are Everglades Safari Park located in Miami about 4 miles west of Coopertown Airboats , we are are not Speedy Airboats in Everglades City. Have a great day More

Got to see about 30 gators while we were there! 30 min boat trip took about 45 mins- great trip around the glades. Excellent show afterwards- lots of interesting info! Great value for money & great if you have kids!

It is very pleasant but it's not during the safari that I saw the alligators. The boat-ride is noisy but fun. It seems like we are like in a movie. The show is interesting and we can learn many things about the alligators. The walk in the "jungle" is not fantastic, just pleasant. in fact it is a big garden.... More

We stopped here after a cruise and had a great time. The airboat ride was awesome and we learned a lot about the Everglades (animal life, history, people who lived here, etc.). We saw many alligators in the wild along with many species of birds. There was an informative alligator show and a chance to take your picture holding a... More
