SAWGRASS RECREATIONAL PARK

Feel the excitement and learn the history of one of Floridas most remarkable treasures the Everglades. Renew your spirit as you glide through the river of grass at speeds of up to 40 mph, and get up close and personal with the native and endangered wildlife from this fragile environment. Youll start your adventure with a 30 minute guided tour with one of our experienced and knowledgeable captains. In our Reptile exhibit, take a walk on the wild side, back in time with an original dinosaur, the Florida Alligator. Be sure to bring your camera so you can capture the excitement of cradling one of these majestic creatures with our Hold a Baby Alligator experience. Your visit will also include a visit to our Exotic Wildlife exhibit where playful critters like the Florida panther, leopards, and birds of prey abound and amaze you as you get up close and personal. Also, while you are at Sawgrass, please dont miss our Swampyard Island! You and your family can interact and even feed many of our animals in this exhibit.
