Airport near panama city beach8/25/2023 ![]() This July our daughter, Dee, came to visit us in Freeport, FL with her two sons, Marcus (2) and Mick, (9). After we told them about Bubba’s show, they signed up to meet Bubba & Dave too - and they loved it! We first met Dave David and “BUBBA” last July (2010) - and we have been singing praises of Bubba’s Show - to everyone! Our neighbors and their guests have now seen Bubba & Dave, as well as my brother, his children and grandchildren! Oh! And while waiting for our Airboat Adventures ride to start (tons of fun too!), we met a family from Kentucky. THIS LIVE ALLIGATOR SHOW IS SO EXTRAORDINARY! It’s hard to believe what you are seeing! The only good thing about this is you get to hold a baby gator. We missed out on that because we spent all of our money here. ![]() I regret it and wish we would have went to Gulf World instead. After paying almost $200 for all of us to do this, why would I give you a tip when we saw nothing?! Waste of money. The man told us there were small gators out on the trip before us and we saw NONE!Īnyhow, after the ride, you are pushed to give a tip to the "driver". We saw 1 bird! Basically the only thing we talked about on the ride was the land. The website said it would last about 45 mins. We were told to follow a man to a body of water where we got on an airboat hoping to see some wildlife. The lady got a small gator out and let each of us hold it for about 2 seconds. Their water was filthy and it seemed very cruel. There are about 4 dog sized cages with a couple of gators laying around. We thought we were coming to see an alligator show. When we arrived, the place was very small and shabby. We had 3 adults and 5 kids under the age of 8. ![]() I was very disappointed and felt like I had thrown my money in the trash. After reading all the reviews, we decided to give this place a try. I'm giving this place one star only because it makes me. We will never go back to "Gator Country" Air Boat tours. Much more personable and informative trip. The "Wild Thang" takes you through the marshes exactly what you would expect from a swamp boat. The other company takes you into a creek to see an alligator and back. "Wild Thang", what a different experience. Decided to leave and go to the other Air Boat in Panama city. Multiple other employees in office including the owner, someone could have returned our call. I asked why they didn't at least return my call, she threw up her hands and said "what am I suppose to do", I said at least return my call. Recalled again at 12:30 left another message, stopped by the office at 1:30 and was told by the lady inside that they were extremely busy. Called at 9:00am to set a time, had to leave a message. Took this trip in March 2015 and our grandson had a ball it was his first air boat. There are many other adventures that are much more fun, and a much better use of your money. Overall this was the biggest disappointment of our trip, and I wish we would not have done this. LASTLY, they push tipping the entire time, which again, after spending $85, we were not thrilled with. After spending $85, who wants to spend another $15 for a picture? So my son was a bit disappointed about that. Well, that's only if you want to spend another $15 for them to take a picture. THEN, they told me when I called we would get to hold a gator and take pictures. Don't know how they can get away with calling this an alligator park. the third pen had maybe 6 even smaller gators in it. Two of the 3 pens each had 2 small gators. THEN, they're idea of "gator country alligator park" is three, dog-lot sized pens. It cost my husband and I and our 7 year old $85. The ride was WAY too short to justify what they charge. I do realize wildlife is not predictable, but little to no effort was made to find gators or other wildlife to view and most of the ride was spent idoling up a small little waterway. They take you in brackish waters, which if you know anything about aligators, they do not like to live in brackish waters. Most of the other boat ride attractions in PCB last at least 2 hours. First, although the airboat ride was fun and my 7 year old was enjoying it, it was not close to an hour long - more like 30 minutes. Never have I left a "touristy" attraction feeling so ripped off.
