    Extreme Airboat attraction in Orlando/Kissimmee Central Florida. Experience Thrill Rides and ego tours in the head waters of the Florida Everglades. If you didn't like the others you will love the sights and adventure experienced on this tour. They are located minutes from Disney Orlando at 100 lakeshore blvd. Kissimmee,Fl. Go for a nature tour off the beaten path in a boat that goes where no outboard will run. See wild pigs, deer, racoons, snakes, rare birds, eagles, turtles, and of coarse Alligators in natural habitat.

    Tom & Jerrys Airboat Rides offer 1 hour tours into real swamp country on a wildlife sightseeing adventure of a life time. Great experience for the whole family to see touch and photo live alligators. Experienced captains show off boat skills and wildlife knowledge.

    Airboat Rides at MIDWAY is located in East Orange County on Highway 50 and the St Johns River. We are open 7 days a week and offer 1 hour airboat rides for $35/adults and $25/children. If you are planning to go to Kennedy Space Center while in Orlando, we are the best tour of the Central Florida Everglades. We have our own facility (established in the 1930s!) and accept payment in cash or credit card. We have an exotic bird and reptile display as well as restrooms and refreshments. After your ride, you can hold a baby alligator too!

    I would NOT RECOMMEND "Tom and Jerry Airboat" to anyone. I went there in the summer of 2008 and I was not satisfy with their service. They were rude and careless. Their method of payment is to pay in the middle of the trip on the airboat (I don't know what would happened if you didn't pay during that time). During my trip, I didn't see any alligators at all, so don't your your times/money with them.
