Something to do in Orlando that wasn't disney related. - The place was clean and nice. Easy to navigate for family members who require easier walking excursions. We saw lots of baby alligators and one big one. 30 minute ride might have been a little short but I don't know that there would've been a lot more to see had we done the 1 hour long tour.

Great time! Fun for the whole family - Airboat ride was fun. We got to see a bunch of different birds and four alligators on our ride. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Along with the airboats they have mini highland cows you can go into a pen with and feed and pet them. We had fun the whole time.

Awesome Airboat Ride by Captain Brook - Had a wonderful time from the Butterfly exhibit to the exhibit of gators. Awesome souvenirs they had got a few to bring home to Tennessee. The best part was the boat ride. We loved it got to see a gator nest, Crane nest and a 10 foot Gator sun bathing. Awesome highly recommend Boggy Creek ❤️👍

Worth the time - We were running late, and wouldn't make our air boat time. We called and they readily changed our ride time to an hour later. For the ride, our guide, Chris, was very nice and told us about the animals we were seeing. He drove the boat well, with some thrills but not enough to be too scary. We saw quite a few gators and even a couple of "Florida Sea Cows". Chris was mindful to give us all the time we needed to take pictures. I do wish we got more information about the area's history, though. If it's not really hot out, you might want to bring a light jacket, as it was a little chilly out on the water. Next time we're out this way, I would like to try one of their Sunset Cruises.
