Think of the Everglades as a slow, wide river (the Seminole people called it the 'River of Grass'). The best way to experience its magnificence is to try Sawgrass Recreation Park's latest attraction - Gator Nights. You'll be taken across the Everglades on an airboat adventure by an experienced captain at night time! Lasting for an entire hour, the tour will let you visit exclusive locations where you can see and hear a diverse range of reptiles, insects, and amphibians. Try and catch the telltale glow of the alligators' eyes as the captain shines the water with his flashlight. Put your hearing to the test and catch sounds of native reptiles as you cruise through the grass on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. See alligators, fish, turtles, and wading birds.
The tour takes place at 8 PM on Wednesday and Saturday nights, for a departure time at 8:30 PM. Please note that even if you've booked a nighttime adventure, you're always welcome to visit the park during the day to see the other exhibit areas. Just remember that you will need to carry a copy of your voucher for your nighttime adventure, along with a valid photo ID. The park is open from 9 AM to 5 PM.
