Casey, my guide, was amazing. The knowledge of the Alligators and Crocodiles was outstanding. He made the whole experience as amazing as I hopes it would be. The park is fantastic. So clean, all the staff are so nice. There was so many places to sit and rest while walking around on our own and covered areas with fan to cool off a little. The food was reasonably priced and there was lots of food stands and a little coffee stand. Denise, at the Pearl Cafe was so nice and went out of her way to make sure I knew about Jawlene the Gator. There was a lot of upsells and extra things to purchase, but they were decent price points. I was happy to get the photo package with the Trainer for a Day package. I was super impressed with the whole experience and all the extras the Trainer for a Day included. it by far exceeded my expectations. As someone who loves and is fascinated with Alligators, I highly recommend.

We had an amazing experience with the personal trainer KC! He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We not only learned so much but had a fun time as well. I HIGHLY recommend if you go here to do the trainer experience. You get personal hands on time with the animals and see more and get to participate in things you wouldn’t normally do or see just visiting the park alone. Thank you KC for a great time!
