点评:If you’re a family in a budget this is something fun you can do absolutely free. It’s best to go early if you want to see alligators, before it gets too warm. We’ve been on this drive so many times at different times of the day and we always see at least a few alligators plus a bunch of other animals like birds and turtles. I would say the best times of the year would be the colder months when the animals come out to sun themselves, and also when it’s very rainy and the water is closer to the road. When it’s dry and hot the water will recede and the animals will be farther away.
This drive will be hours long, so be prepared. They do have bathrooms, but you won’t know how long it will take to get to the bathrooms because you will be going slow on a one way road with not many places to pass other cars. Definitely bring water and maybe some snacks, but you might want to keep your windows closed if you do snack because I have seen some of the birds get close. Remember there is no feeding the animals. Even if you don’t have food the birds aren’t afraid to get close. I have seen people riding in the open beds of trucks with the birds perched on the sides and roofs.
This is a really fun thing to do and my kids love it. We go whenever we can now that we live about an hour away.

这段路程需要几个小时,所以请做好准备。沿途有洗手间,但由于是单行道,而且没有太多超车的地方,所以您无法预估到达洗手间需要多长时间。务必带上水,也许还可以带些零食,但如果您吃零食,最好关上车窗,因为我看到有些鸟会飞近。请记住,禁止喂食动物。即使没有食物,鸟儿们也不怕靠近。我见过有人坐在敞篷卡车的车厢里,鸟儿们就栖息在车厢两侧和车顶上。
这真是一件很有趣的事,我的孩子们很喜欢。现在我们住在离那里大约一个小时车程的地方,所以只要有时间就会去。
