Park Visitor: Comments, Memories and Reviews
January 26 Sherry
Your ticket seller was the most rude individual I have ever encountered in a business situation!
December 2 Noisy on the airboat but a great park
We love the park but find that the airboatride is too noisy if we sit in the aft half of the boat.Not good enough speakers to hear the well informed guides when the rpm on the engine is more than idle. Why not add more speakers and/or muffle the engine better? A big and scenic park worth visiting!
April 2 Where did all the birds go? by Nancy Boyer
We used to enjoy birdwatching at the the park, but now the lake is practically sterile! It is still beautiful, but gone are all the birds, which was the main reason we came to the park.
