Fort Myerssun and fun

Nineteen miles from Fort Myers lay 2,200 untamed acres of Florida Everglades. Billie Swamp offers families the unique chance to glide effortlessly along the Airboat Trail, through cypress canopies, while quietly observing alligators, turtles, fish, birds and other wildlife in their natural habitat. Catch wild pigs rummaging, ostriches wading and alligators feeding during any one of the many tours offered here on the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation. Beat the heat in the air-conditioned Billie Swamp Safari Theater where expert animal trainers bring you up-close-and-personal with some of the creepiest crawling reptiles that troll the shaded floors and murky swamps. After your excursion into the wild, satisfy your healthy adventurer’s appetite at the Swamp Water Café, where you can enjoy strange delicacies such as alligator tail nuggets, frog legs or good old-fashioned classic American fare for those with less adventurous palates.
