Everglades Alligator Farm - Homestead, Florida

We went on a whim while exploring Florida and were very satisfied with the experience. The facility is well maintained and clean for guests. The boat ride is affordable and a thrilling way to experience the natural surroundings. I took many photos and held a real alligator. Would recommend to anyone, just bring sunscreen.

Spent the morning at the Everglades alligator farm. Well organized and clean. We watched the show which was fun but the boat ride was the best part. We also enjoyed some snacks at the food truck and wandered around the whole facility. Overall I would recommend this place.

My family, friends, and I visited the Everglades Alligator Farm this past Sunday, and we had an absolutely amazing experience! The facilities were clean and the staff were engaging and friendly. My son and I took part in the alligator encounter, where we had the unique opportunity to feed and hold baby alligators ranging from four months to ten years old before feeding the larger ones. Afterward, we explored the grounds, saw snakes, more alligators, and other animals, and ended the day with a fun airboat ride. I highly recommend the Everglades Alligator Farm for a fun and memorable family outing!

Really cool and interesting experience! Lee (hope I’m spelling his name correctly) is a great guy and an excellent instructor. He provides fascinating information and demonstrations about these amazing animals. The boat tour is also really fun, and the drivers do a great job.

The only downside for me is that the poor little gators are handed out to the audience. While this is obviously an exciting experience, some kids and random people don’t handle them properly. I understand it’s not possible to separate people in that situation, but it still feels like those who mistreat the animals should be placed next to the big ones in the pond—then they might learn a lesson about how life works.

All things considered, an amazing experience—definitely worth it!

Overall, it was a nice experience. I had a chance encounter with alligators, which was fun. The airboat ride was enjoyable, but I thought it would go farther; however, it only stayed within the territory near the farm. Lastly, I’d like to mention that the staff at the counter were quite impatient when explaining things to me, and they failed to direct me to the proper place at the start of the trip.

We did the private alligator encounter and I highly recommend this! Bunny was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable and fantastic. The private encounter was a small group and you get more in depth information about the gators and crocs. You get to go back into a private area and hold two gators and then you get to feed a bunch of them. We went in February and weather was great. There’s also a couple shows to see and other enclosures. Really enjoyed our visit here and would love to come back. The price was not bad either for a private encounter! The airboat ride was fun as well but you do get wet. We sat in the back and didn’t get that wet unless your on the side of the boat. It was still fun and the sun will dry you off! Really like how they also made our schedule everything was organized and flowed well.

This was an absolutely AMAZING experience! There was so much to see and activities participate in. Some really cool and unique reptiles. Although we didn’t see any gators/snakes on the swamp tour it was due to extreme cold weather the tour was still a fun time!

This was a great experience. We paid for the extra animal encounter and it was totally worth it! On top of the regular feedings and education (and air boat ride!) we got to hold baby and juvenile gators! Bunny our animal tour guide was the best! She brought the experience to life for my son and I.
