Practical information

Any restrictions to participate?

  • Age: All age groups are welcomed.
  • Health limitations: For expectant mothers: We do not place restrictions for expectant mothers; the decision is left up to each individual. However, guests should take the following into consideration: the airboat will be traveling over the water for a minimum of 30 minutes and while typically a very smooth ride can be a bit bumpy in high wind conditions. Additionally for most of the year it is very warm outside so heat and hydration need to be considered. Therefore, we do ask that you consult a doctor prior to your visit. Please ensure that you explain the nature of the attraction and activities you plan to enjoy to receive a proper assessment.
  • Physical limitations: To participate in the boat tour, passengers must be able to take a step down into the boat or have a family member help them.

Who can you accommodate for?

  • Children: All participants must pay to participate, children included. We advise parents that our boats are very noisy and we provide ear plugs for everyone riding. All children aged six and under must wear a life jacket which we provide. Guests over the age of six may also obtain and wear a life jacket if they wish. It is a safe and smooth enjoyable ride.
  • Pets: Pets are allowed on park grounds only under the full control of their owners on a leash. Working service animals are permitted, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act but discouraged from partaking in the boat ride as it can be rather stressful for animals.
  • Individuals with disabilities: We have limited accessibility for guests who are handicapped. If you are able to comfortably take a step down into our boats or have a family member help you into the boat, you will be able to enjoy a boat ride. If you are apprehensive about having to get into the boat comfortably, you can still enjoy our animal exhibits for a discounted cost. Sawgrass Recreation Park welcomes service animals at the park under the care and responsibility/liability of the owner.
  • Languages: We have transcripts of our captains’ general speeches in several languages. Request one in the gift shop to share with your foreign guests.

Sawgrass Recreation Park reserves the right to involve law enforcement, change membership status, or take other steps as needed.

Such a fun ride! We managed to spot one alligator, despite the scorching heat. But honestly, the ride itself is worth it. Perfect for all ages and a great time for everyone.

Olivia C.

My family had an absolute blast! The airboat ride was incredibly fun. We glimpsed a teenage alligator, spotted an osprey munching on a fish in a tree, and marveled at blue herons. After the ride, we explored the exhibit area, fed birds (bring quarters), pet a baby alligator, unearthed gems, and encountered lizards, chickens, and turtles. Our kids (ages 3, 7, and 7) had a fantastic time! We even grabbed a bite from the food truck on-site and were treated to the surprise of two peacocks, Kevin and Fred. Everyone was so friendly – we'll definitely be back!

Lauren P.

We caught sight of two gators from a distance, but they moved away when we tried to get closer – it turns out they aren't fans of airboats. I've come to realize that seeing gators in the Everglades is a bit like chasing the northern lights – there's no guarantee, but if you don't try, you'll never know!
