I have been many times. Great family fun. Tons of businesses of all kinds. Walk the curb for many shops or walk the boardwalk for lots of places to eat, shops and a waterfront view. Many special events throughout the year. Pay by tag parking. Jet ski rentals and floating tiki bar.

This place was a pleasant surprise. It housed a lot more than just Gators. There were all type of animals from pigs to fish to toads. When we walked into the place there were many pigs all had signs say be careful they might bite you. But the staff said it was okay to pet them. They also had a huge turtle that you could pet. The staff was extremely helpful and informative. The one thing that I would recommend is that you bring five or $10 bills with you so when you are walking through and somebody wants to hold or pet an animal the staff will allow you to hold them but you have to pay an additional 5 or 10 dollars. If you have it handy that's makes it a little easier to just pay on the spot. They also have some stingrays but you cannot touch or pet them. The sloth exhibit was actually pretty interesting and you get a pretty good up and close look at the sloth. One of the thing I thought was pretty cool is they have like a bubble for young kids can crawl into and be on the same level as the alligator so they can basically look at the alligator face to face. Overall it was a very pleasant surprise. One last thing it is located on the second floor so you'd have to go use one of the stairwells going up to the second floor at the end of the building as it is easy to miss.

So friendly and have a free tasting! My favorite drink was the tropical frozen daiquiri!

Loved setting up balloon decor here. The park was huge, tons of fun dealing with the other vendors, and the stage made a great location for an arch!
