I booked a 1 hour private tour and it far exceeded my expectations. First off, my tour guide Amanda was so nice and incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals. You can tell she’s genuinely concerned about the animals well being and the animals love her. Well, the lemur for some reason has a grudge against her but I didn’t ask why:) The highlight for me by far was Chandlers snakes, especially the white cobra. My goodness. I had the pleasure of meeting that dude and he’s a genuine guy as well. I’m guessing this is why his snakes don’t bite him. When it was over I looked at my watch and my 1 hour private tour was over 2 hours!

So I visited with my brother, was not able to choose that option for type of visit. I have been here before, he had not. We did the tram tour, wonderfully educational. Afterwards had lobster roll and Cuban panini at the Mango Cafe, along with pina colada milkshake and mango smoothie. Everything was excellent! Yes, in summer it will be hot, and do not expect a manicured place, but the chance to see and taste the diversity of fruits is great. They have a selection of fruits in season to sample at the store and you can try whatever is on the ground. Hog plums were delicious, as well as the jack fruit and mangos We also stopped along the road on the way back and bought some fresh lychees which were fantastic!

A nice afternoon at a family friendly rodeo & the largest in south Florida. There was plenty of parking, it was an easy in and out. We paid $5 to park & adult admission was $25, $14 for children. Credit cards were accepted. There were clean Porto potties, brochures, lots of food vendors with scouts selling popcorn, water and cotton candy in the bleachers. The bbq platters were huge & smelled delicious. We enjoyed sharing an Indian taco, it was enough for two. The day started with bare back riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, down roping, bull riding and young woman racing around barrels. The Contestants came from all over the country to compete. Visitors were from Europe, South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. We enjoyed the events, crowds, foods ... the day!

I went on a Tuesday afternoon with my daughter to walk around Black Point Marina Park. I have been in that place many years ago but I didn’t know it has more than a restaurant and the actual marina. It turns out that he has a large walkway that you can use for either walk, run, or bike. I parked in one of the many places they have available for free to do so, then I walked around and enjoy the gorgeous view, and took some nice pictures of this place.

Get up close and personal with thousands of alligators at this alligator farm.

We visited the alligator farm with our kids (ages 10, 10, 8.5). They loved the air boat tour, we saw alligators, iguanas, and lots of birds. Our driver made the experience fun and gave us some info on the area. We did the nature walk and checked out lots of other animals in between the air boat ride and the gator shows. The gator show and gator feeding time were educational and entertaining, Liz was our guide for the shows. The kids were able to hold a baby alligator and ask questions to Liz about the facility and alligators in general. I would highly recommend a visit, we spent about 2.5 hours there.
