Visited the Birding Center w/my girlfriend Glafira this afternoon. The experience was spectacular. Currently I work close to the Refuge & am familiar w/alligators, but the Knowledge we received from Aaron & Hayden was priceless. I highly recommend Team Dundee!!!!

Very educational with a great personal touch! We were blown away by the variety of species we encountered on the boardwalk. Lots of gators, tortoises, birds, fish, snakes, etc! Thank you for a wonderful experience! 👍🏻

I was here visiting the island from central Illinois & visited this attraction TWICE it was so good!! And omg the Big Padre show was so cool & I learned a lot from the presentation I saw given by Aaron & Hayden!! You could tell they truly loved what they did, care for the gators they’ve rescued & brought here, and SO knowledgeable about these amazing yet very dangerous animals. I got to hold an alligator for the first time too!!! I can’t wait to come back next year & see more!!!
