alligator farm eat in homestead. The prices are reasonable and the food is good. We
really like EL Ricon Jalisco, the Mexican restaurant and also ODB's Caribbean
restaurant which has great conch fritters. Once you get to the alligator
farm park your car as directed and walk into their gift shop where you can buy
your tickets. The Miami Everglades alligator farm

and an alligator feeding demonstration For an additional fee the Everglades

ticket, you'll be given a choice of times for the airboat ride. Tip: try to get
there early or later during the cooler parts of day
Alligators tend to come out when it's cooler and you have a better chance to
see them in the wild. While you're waiting for your airboat ride, look
around and walk the nature path around the breeders pond. You'll see many
alligators of all sizes. There's also a snake exhibit, EMU, and the turtles. Here's
a tip: make sure to wear sunscreen and insect repellent. There are a few places
to provide you shade but mostly you're exposed to the Sun. The airboat ride is
so much fun! Expect to get wet, bring a reusable rain poncho to wear while on
the ride. It'll keep you some what dry. If you're lucky to be in front, you and your
shoes will get drenched so it's not a bad idea to bring another pair of shoes
and clothes. When you get on the airboat your bags are placed in a box on the
shore. If you take your cellphone with you please secure it and put it in a
plastic bags for protection. When you get soaked so will your phone. The airboat
ride is 20 to 25 minutes and at times is very loud and fast. You will do a few
360 turns which are fun and wet. this was the highlight of our visit here. Another
thing not to miss here are the shows. They're pretty exciting. The snake show
is offered at 10:00 a.m., 1 p.m., and 4 p.m.. The alligator show is open at 11:00
a.m., 2 p.m., and 5:00 p.m. and if you can only see one show- don't miss the
alligator feeding. the alligator feeding is at 12 p.m., and 3 p.m. So amazing to
see dozens of Gators surfaced out of the pond during the feeding. You'll see how
fast alligators can get
when getting food, and they can even jump which is pretty amazing. The farm
contains more than two thousand alligators the Everglades alligator farm
is a must do when in Miami. There are many choices for airboat rides but this
is one of the better ones to go to. Happy Travels
