Spend Valentine’s Day with your sweetheart in the Florida wild. Show the love by getting cozy during an airboat ride where you’ll encounter an ecological tour of the Everglades. Before stepping aboard, take in Florida’s natural scenery from a 500-foot sightseeing dock. While you’re cuddling on your airboat excursion, keep an eye out for alligators and birds ranging from bald eagles to herons.
Airboat riders also get to explore the lush landscape during a romantic swamp walk where you can be one with nature. Plus, the day wouldn’t be complete without strolling and touring the adventurous wildlife park, which features exotic animals like zebras, watusi and emus, tropical birds and tortoises.
Take your gator experience further by feeding these prehistoric predators from a platform. Watch their massive jaws grab the meat and eat it all up!
Plus, you get to participate in a hands-on demonstration where you can hold and take a photo with an alligator. How cool is that? Partial proceeds from your cherished alligator photo benefits the endangered Florida Panther.
Your excursion continues with a lakeside lunch at The Chomp House Grill. Chow down on bodacious barbecue, including pulled pork, smoked chicken and ribs, gator tail, frog legs and sweet potato fries paired with a refreshing Swamp Slushy or Hurricane Freeze.
Show your lovebird a token of your affection with a Wild Florida souvenir from the Swamp Store. Buy a stuffed animal or gator-tooth necklace for your darling. The treasured gift is a marvelous memento of your time spent in the great outdoors during Valentine’s Day.
