Everglades Holiday Park

In 1982, George M. Bridges decided it was time to leave the tobacco farm behind and try his hand at something new. With a background in construction, he built his first airboat in the backyard, mortgaging the house to do it. It was a gamble, but a risk he was willing to take in hopes of one day providing Everglades National Park boat tours. George worked hard through the years, and it wasn't long before he knew he had stumbled onto something extraordinary. Today, nearly three decades later (and with a few more Everglades boats at the park) Everglades Holiday Park continues to serve as South Florida's premier gateway to the state's most exciting natural attraction- the Everglades in the form of both group airboat tours and private airboat tours. Centrally located on Griffin Rd. in Fort Lauderdale, Everglades Holiday Park is a family fun entertainment destination, offering everything from guided Everglades boat tours and live alligator presentations to food, souvenirs and fresh water fishing. We cater to families, individuals, educators, corporations and anyone looking to experience the magic and wonders of our state's most exciting natural resource. We encourage visitors to enjoy the pristine Everglades ecosystem while learning about important preservation efforts during their Everglades excursion.
