Gator Park Miami: Everglades Airboat Tours & Wildlife Show

THE EXPERIENCE

About this event

Gator Park in Miami offers guided Everglades airboat tours and an alligator wildlife show at 24050 SW 8th Street, Miami, FL 33194. Standard admission includes entry, an airboat ride through the Everglades, and the wildlife show. This ongoing South Florida attraction is an option for families and visitors looking for an outdoor wildlife experience near Miami. What can you do at Gator Park? Ride through canals and the Everglades' river of grass with a guide, looking for alligators, turtles, and birds along the way. Back at the park, the wildlife show provides another opportunity to learn about alligators. Keep your camera ready, but remember that sightings of wild animals can vary. When is Gator Park open? Gator Park publishes daily hours of 9 AM to 5 PM. The last wildlife show is at 4:30 PM, and the last airboat departure is at 5 PM. Standard airboat tours generally depart every 20 to 30 minutes. That is the departure frequency, not the length of the ride. Arrive early enough to enjoy both the tour and the show, and confirm current operations before traveling. How much are Gator Park tickets?
