To be honest is not the best place to visit. I had a completely different idea of what it was. Animals live in awful conditions. You guys better do something else good with those animals.

Recently visited the everglades area on our honeymoon, and since we're animal lovers we stopped in to Everglades Outpost to see some adorable animals in the sanctuary. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and we enjoyed meeting all the animals, hearing their stories, petting, and feeding them. We were surprised to be able to pet/feed so many! It was a memorable experience for sure and we highly recommend the tour to everyone visiting the area. In my opinion, it's a great way to support the rescued animals and the caretakers of the sanctuary. Thank you for the good work you're doing, Everglades Outpost!

The employees being awkward and stand-offish really impact your visit here...ask a question you'll be lucky if you receive a shoulder shrug Beautiful animals, I also wish there was more employee interaction with the farm/animals itself instead of everyone trying to hide and take a smoke break. I recommend you still go if you're an animal enthusiast, I would just encourage you to be your own tour guide...got a question? Google it. The huge croc & alligator are worth admission alone..

I've been here twice in 6 months with my Bf (2nd time Mom too). I forgot the girl w/ brown hairs name that helps us each time. She is super nice & welcoming. We love this little place. They don't get any funding from state of Florida please tell friends & family about this place. You can donate too. The best attraction is the monkey, panther, & wolves. You can feed the monkey, camel, zebra & alligator. Maybe others too. Some people think it's cruel to cage animals, but out in the wild they are being hunted & becoming instinct/endangered. At least they are fed & take care of & seem to be healthy at this place. The animals look healthy & well fed. If your thinking about going please go & check it out! Thanks for a great experience.

I had an amazing time at the Everglades Outpost….it’s definitely a place to check out when you are in the area! The staff & volunteers are very knowledgeable, and take lots of time to talk to you. The animals are very well taken care of, and their habitats are very clean. Definitely check out the Behind the Scenes Tour, you will see everything up close and learn so much more, as each of these ambassador animals has a story of its own to tell. We also did the Alligator Swim with Chris Gillette, it was INCREDIBLE!

Planned to visit during my birthday trip to south Florida in august 2022 and it was the highlight of my bday!!! The main thing I came here for was the underwater gator tour with Chris and Casper. Seeing an alligator underwater like that was amazing and exhilarating! 10/10 experience definitely a once in a lifetime thing (I would love to go back though). The photo package is SOOO worth it too and I love every photo that Chris took. He is definitely a true professional and very knowledgeable about the Florida alligators. I would recommend this experience to anyone who loves alligators and wants to learn about them while getting an up close encounter. I would love to come back one day. thank you also to the volunteers who take the time to care for the animals at the rescue as well. You are all appreciated!
