About Gator Park

Gator Park offers airboat rides through the Everglades, where guides point out alligators, birds, fish, and snakes along the canals. Visitors can also book private airboat trips at an hourly rate, and the park runs a live wildlife show where handlers demonstrate how alligators were once captured. Tickets can be bought online and collected at the park on the day of the tour, with no reservation needed.
