This was our second time at this place and again enjoyable both for the adults and the kids. They offer buggy rides, airboat rides, and shows. The buggy ride is the best part. An hour on a swamp friendly "monster truck" will take you to the woods to see the vegetation and possibly spot some wild animals. They also keep a wide variety of semi-wild animals to see in their natural habitat, which is the safari part of the experience.
The airboat tour was also enjoyable but second to the buggy ride and to another airboat tour we took at Everglades City.
Theirs also a nice boardwalk by the chickees that is free to enjoy and you can spot wild birds and the occassional alligator there too.
Wondering why this is on my Marco Island journal? Yes, it is quite a drive but I think it is worth it. Whether you're staying on the East Coast or West Coast of Florida, you will have to take a drive anyway.
