The Everglades is known for its beauty and for being home to tons of amazing wildlife. Spring is an interesting time of year to visit the Everglades, as it marks the end of the Everglades’ dry season. Animals in the Everglades tend to become more active during this time, coming out of their slow-moving winter slump.
If you want some true excitement during spring break, join us at Everglades Holiday Park for one of our Everglades boat tours and view some of the most majestic animals in Florida! With a party of 2 or more, you can enjoy a private airboat tour, or a group airboat tour if you’re with a larger group of 15 or more. From the smallest to the largest spring break party, we’ve got you covered!
Even if you’ve lived in South Florida your whole life, we can guarantee you’ve never seen anything like our Gator Boys Alligator Rescue gator show unless you’ve actually been to Everglades Holiday Park. Our little slice of heaven is home to the famous Gator Boys and when you visit, you’ll see exactly why they’re so well known. Their gator-wrangling abilities are far beyond what the world has seen. They do tricks, perform stunts, and share their knowledge about the incredible creatures they’re sworn to protect. Come prepared to laugh and learn!
An Animal Encounter is an unforgettable hands-on activity that’s exciting and educational for guests of all ages. If you’re seeking unforgettable memories wrapped in summery outfits, flip-flops, and wild creatures, this experience is for you! The Animal Encounter is an up-close look at what makes the Everglades so special.

Coming to our beloved park for an Everglades airboat tour means you’ll probably be staying in the beautiful, warm, and fun cities of Fort Lauderdale or Miami. Both Fort Lauderdale and Miami have been hot spring break destinations for college students and families for years, and for good reason.
The weather is always sunny and warm, Fort Lauderdale beach is clean and relaxing, the food is tasty (we recommend trying some of the delicious options at our on-site cafe), there are plenty of shops and nightlife, and you can visit the great outdoors.
If an Everglades airboat tour at our park isn’t your cup of tea, don’t stress. College spring breakers can explore downtown Fort Lauderdale, bask in the warm weather with some beach volleyball, dive into some local spring break concerts, and still connect with nature in ways such as freshwater fishing, a dip in the Atlantic Ocean, boat rentals, or a ranger-led walking tours of the world-renowned Everglades.
If you’re willing to go a little outside of Fort Lauderdale, you can visit Coconut Creek for one the largest butterfly preserves in the world! No matter the tone of your Spring Break vacation (whether it’s hitting up the hottest clubs or relaxing into the free concerts held in the parks), Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding areas have so much to offer. So, get those bathing suits on and prepare for the time of your life!
