Visitor tip
Call ahead to schedule the zipline adventure, as walk-ins are not guaranteed availability. This popular attraction has limited capacity, so advanced booking ensures you won't miss it.
Visitor tip
Don't miss holding the baby alligator (mouth is safely taped) - reviewers consistently highlight this as a standout experience that shouldn't be skipped during your visit.
Visitor tip
For pony rides with small children, bring two adults - one to lead the pony and one to walk beside your child for safety, as rides are self-guided.
