Towards the end of summer is a great time to visit Everglades Holiday Park because it's mating season and that means one thing- babies!

Alligators are Opportunistic Feeders
If you've ever worried about being eaten by an alligator, chances are pretty good that you won't be dinner. Why not? Well, for starters, they're opportunistic feeders and that means they eat prey that is easy to catch. Translated? If you mind your own business, stay smart, and make good choices, chances are you'll never have a story to tell. The truth is, humans are often too large and don't make good prey for an alligator, so they rarely make the effort.
Alligators are as much a part of Florida as rollercoasters and miles of coastline. With the pristine Everglades as a back drop, visiting with the alligators has never been as exciting than with airboat tours at Everglades Holiday Park. Join us for a day of fun in the sun and say hello to your friend and neighbor, the American alligator.
