Amazing experience! - We loved our time at boggy creek! Thank you to captain Steve for the airboat ride, the scenery was so beautiful. We saw 2 gators, which was great considering it was 1pm and it was very hot. We’d love to go back and do the nighttime tour to see some of the bigger ones!
We had lunch, it was delicious and the kids did the mining and the butterfly feeding. We also fed some baby gators and took part in Native American archery it was very difficult but fun.
I’d definitely recommend visiting boggy creek to see a different side to Florida than the theme parks and would love to visit again.

A First timers MUST - Great experience for first timers on a airboat. For the price of the ticket everything included was sufficient. The food was great, the tour was nice although the gators were being shy. Our guide was awesome and overall we had a good time.

Love love love! - Absolutely loved this place! I will definitely come back. It wasn’t over crowded. The airboat ride was amazing! Captain Wayne was excellent. The native doing the archery was funny and great with kids. The gift shop was fun, a lot of different things to pick fun. Food was good. We really enjoyed the oversized games they had to play, there was a connect 4, jenga and checkers. I have no cons, I can’t say anything bad about this place.

Girls trip - Best half day trip I have taken in a long time. Me and my friend went on the airboat , feed gators, and butterflies on 5/20/24 The airboat was so much fun and the pilot (Brandon) had a lot of great information and made the ride very memorable. The staff approachable and helpful. There is a lot of shade when you are in the park but use sunscreen for the boat ride. We also did their mining and came home with a lot of cool gems and some shark teeth. We had lunch on the way out and that was the best burger I have had in a long time. It was unexpected but the cook did a great job.
