Hi, do you mean around Orlando?

We did our's in the everglades have a look at www.gatorpark.com for an idea on prices etc also look at our trip report www.huthsholiday.info for photo's etc. My youngest was 3 and was provided with a life jacket and spent the entire ride laughing.

boggycreek is probably about the most popular for orlando area. Get an early ride as that is when the gators will be out. It's terrific. If your interested I'd also try and do a rodeo they are on every Friday.

Hi Gaynor,

Go to Camp Mac in Lake Wales, you can't beat it for chilling out, you can hire a party boat or an air boat for about $100, well worth every cent, they provide life jackets etc for the kids, you can hire fishing tackle, get bait from the bait shack, fill up the boat locker with ice and some cold ones !! and head off into the vast expanse of Lake Kissimmee, absolutely beautiful, you can go all the way to Miami from there, great place, you also get to meet some of the Florida Red Necks, great hospitable people, who will talk to you for hours about fishing!!!! Have a great holiday :wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

Hi Ann, thanks very much for that piece of advice-will definatly try and fit this in to our hols sounds really great and Im sure that we would have a great time.:thumbs-up :thumbs-up
Any good eating places in Lake Wales besides Norby's?:d: :d:

[Twink]

Hi Gaynor,

Norby's is the best for steaks mmmmmmmmm, but there are also the chain restaurants, but if you go back towards Winter Haven, not much out of your way when you are going back to Orlando ffrom Lake Wales along the 27 there are some really good restaurants there. Also if you want to be really posh there is Chalet Suzzanne in Lake Wales. You go just before me, have a great time.:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

Best time to go is early in the morning as that is when you are most likey to see the wildlife.
