Definitely a must see! - Beautiful park, amazing scenery. Our family ranging in age from 10 to 84 all had a wonderful time. We began at the Pancake house where we cooked our own pancakes customized with different add ins, favorite with the kiddos was chocolate chips. Each had their own spatula and loved the experience. You also cook your own eggs & French toast. Our family then took a scheduled boat tour. The lake is beautiful! The guide was very informative, pointing out species of birds, fish, alligators, trees, plants & we even saw a manatee! The guide also gave us the Native American history of the park which was very interesting. After the boat tour we dipped our feet in the chilly 72 degree Spring fed pond which was so refreshing. There were a few family enjoying the water. There were many picnic areas, a playground, fishing, and places to rent kayaks ( if you don’t mind paddling with the many alligators we saw!) Everyone in our group had a wonderful time, highly recommend & will return!

Florida bird tour. - The boat ride is great and our guide was very attentive and noticed every animal. There were mostly senior citizens on our trip but my nineteen year old grandsons enjoyed it too. We saw many alligators as well.

I want my money back, it’s $54.32 - Just terrible and disappointing. To take river boat tour it’s necessary to sit in the car a couple of hours in the line before the park, because the park is full of people (our tour should start at 1pm) and it doesn’t matter you came to river bout tour or just to bbq in the park. Security guard didn’t allow us to enter to the park. My kids 7 and 8 years old were upset and crying.

I waste my money - I bought 4 tickets for me and my family. I drove one hour to the spring and it was close because was full. They didn’t let me go in even showing them my reservation. My reservation was for 1pm and I was there an hour prior to the tour. I called and no one could help, they also didn’t want it to give me a refund. I really want my family live this experience with me because it was their first time here in Florida and they were coming all the way from Puerto Rico but I was very disappointed. I waste my money, never again.
