Making Memories - I brought my teen grandson. We enjoyed the air boat. The Captain and mate were very knowledgeable and had good senses of humor. The gem and fossil mining were particularly fun. It kept us engaged looking for and matching finds to the key card. We also, had pulled pork sandwiches that were stuffed full of meat with choices of sides. I was particularly fond of the mango-habanero sauce. We enjoyed our day. I would recommend taking cash to tip everyone. It is the only thing that I didn’t see on the website. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.

AMAZING - The airboat ride was amazing. My first one ever. I wish I would have booked the hour long ride instead of the 30 min. However we had 3 kids under the age of 9 and that 30 minutes was perfect!! The captain, she was amazing!

A nice morning outdoors - Cute little place. Airboat ride was a lot of fun. The gem mining took a little while due to there not being an employee at the stand, but I’d go back with my family next time.

Boggy Creek - Airboat & Gem Mining - Not value for money, Air boat was fine although we never really saw anything. Tiki bar was closed there were no staff around to ask about the gem mining, we had to go back to the shop to ask, we were given pre filled buckets. Nothing else to do onsite ! Sadly would not recommend this.
