Has anybody done the kissimee swamp tours? my son is a huge animal lover and we are looking for something different for him to do this time. Last time we did busch gardens with all of the safaris fed giraffes etc and we also did gatorland which he loved! Any other suggestions would be most welcomed! :o:

If your looking for a swamp tour then I can reccomend Billie Swamp Safari which is about a 3hr drive south of Orlando. It's on an Indian reservation and they have an hour long swamp buggy ride and an everglades hoverboat ride. You will see a variety of alligators, racoon, buffalo etc. In my opinion its worth the drive.

There is Big Cat Rescue in Tampa which is a non profit sanctuary and offers some animal options.

If he is into cats I would highly recommend Big Cat Rescue (http://www.bigcatrescue.org/) in Tampa. We went (before the laws changed so we were allowed closer) and to this day it is one of my DH's best memories and we are eager to go back. They do great work there!
