πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids of all ages. The drive-thru works even for toddlers and nap-prone infants. Giraffe feeding and the bird enclosure are crowd-pleasers for ages 4 and up. Airboat tours suit kids comfortable with open-water boat rides β€” confirm age minimums when booking.

β€œLoved going to this spot! The safari was wonderful and we really enjoyed walking around and seeing all the animals in the gator park. Especially a bird enclosure that you can go in and feed them. Also loved feeding the giraffes! I took my grandma with us on the air boat tour and had a blast (i think we had Steve as our captain, he was great!). She didn’t have any issues. For the price for everything it is well worth it especially if you’re on vacation and looking for something worth while. Would go again!”

β€œTo Jimmy Felix, the "General Manager" 5 cars were trying to get in at 6:48pm. Closed at 6:48pm not 7:00pm You guys better adjust your time of closure advertising it closes at 7:00pm. This is not the first time, it's multiple times that you have a stack of cars trying to get in 10-15 minutes before 7pm and the money we pay it's not right and is false advertising. Your loosing costumers with this. I'll be taking my business to Big Dan's car wash.”
