We went early in the morning, it was lovely! We saw many gators, loved the birds and Lilly pad lakes! Kids had a blast. A baby alligator walked across the road in front of us- of course a highlight!Full review by T6498MUgretas
This looks awesome, but won’t have a car on our trip. Can we still see gators and such or is a car needed for the full experience?
A:
People walk, run, jog, bike, etc the four mile tour all the time. It’s perfectly acceptable to do so. You can Uber there and back. You will need insect repellent. Hope you enjoy our refuge.
There are a lot of different animals. It's sometimes difficult to spot them, but it's nature, you will find many different birds, spiders, snakes, gators and many more.
