Rated "Florida's Best" by the Miami Herald
Learn the secrets of the Everglades, America's most unique and fragile ecosystem.
(Please allow a few moments for some great photos to load!)
| Our professional guides will take you on a personalized, educational tour covering approximately 8 miles of this unique environment. |
|
|
We first go into the vast open saw grass where you will see why the Everglades are called the "River of Grass"! |
| You will travel through a Hardwood Hammock (a small island of solid ground in the "river of grass"), stopping at alligator holes and seeing the abundance of 'glades wildlife. See herons, grackles, turtles, raccoons and other Everglades residents! |
|
|
This picturesque area has served as the backdrop for many movies and photography "shoots" - You will want to bring your camera too! This purple gallinule is more than happy to pose! |
| The Everglades are a truly unique and vibrant environment which you can only experience first hand! Unless you brought your hip waders, an airboat is the best way to see it! (And much drier, too!) |
|
|
After this fascinating and educational tour, relax and enjoy a taste of 'Down Home' cooking, Everglades-style. |
| The Coopertown Restaurant offers such delicacies as frog legs, 'gator tail, catfish and more! All served in a friendly country manner that is distinctly "Floridian". |
|
|
"Belly up" to the bar and meet the folks of Coopertown! Learn some of the fascinating history of the area, and check out the guest book to see who else has passed through Coopertown! |
| Take a closer look at these fascinating creatures in our Alligator Exhibit! What a cute little guy! Popular enough to have a college mascot named for it! |
