Sawgrass Recreation Park was previously a fishing camp. Over the next 30 years it transformed from a fishing camp, into a one boat airboat attraction in the 1970's and finally became one of South Florida's top destinations for visitors welcoming visitors from over 100 countries every year. Recently the attraction has focused on ways to implement eco initiatives in all aspects of the operation. New habitats are underway in the exhibit areas to accommodate the growing numbers of rescued reptiles. You can enjoy lunch at the Gator Grill, mine for gems at the Sawgrass Mining Co., or primitive camping & fishing at our park. We offer daytime and nighttime airboat rides, private tours and group adventures. Reservations required at this time.

Unfortunately the trip was completely ruined by heavy rain ten minutes in, but the guide persevered despite the drenching, and the rain stinging our faces. Guide should’ve brought us in, or at least… Full review by Simon W

Q:
Could you please advise as to how much time would be the average visit here. No kids, 2 adults. I know the air boat rides are about 35-40 minutes but how much time to spend seeing the remaining exhibits. I'm thinking 3-5 hours but would that be enough or too much? Just trying to figure out a schedule that won't be too restrictive and would like to plan accordingly.
A:
You could see everything easily in under 2 hours. There is a gift shop and the animal exhibits. Depending on the time of day there are presentations at the exhibits.

Although there are ramps to access the boats I would not consider this experience to be wheelchair accessible. The bathrooms have a 4 inch lift to gain access (but they did have a ramp to them just not into them, lol) The ramps down to the boats are steep but you can get down there with a wheelchair. Unfortunately unless you have someone who can lift the person onto the boat he or she will not be going. The staff told us that they will NOT help with transfering. If you manage a way onto the boat your wheel chair must stay on the dock. There is no way to secure the participant in the seats for it is not safe to be strapped in. I really hopes this helps.

Q:
I wish I could have returned a shirt that was mislabeled the size, the sticker said XL and the Shirt size tab in color had XL-I'm guessing I paid the XXL price....I threw the receipt away when I got to my vacation townhouse, trusting whoever labeled the shirt. The woman manager at the time of initial purchase was very very rude and apparently when I called to just exchange the unworn shirt my group including myself would have purchased more shirts....... My question is why would you not exchange your problem??
A:
Hello! I would be happy to help you exchange your shirt and there is no reason you should've been told otherwise. We Please contact me at 954-389-0202. You Can simply send …
