The everglades are beautiful. If you want to go and see tons of alligators from your car forget alligator alley! Go to the Tamiami Trail visitor center and check out loop road. It is right by the visitor center. I am not sure why it isn't on this site because it should be. We have always seen TONS of alligators from the car and it's free! Loop Road is a long 27 mile dirt road with huge ditches on the sides. You can pull off and get out and check them out and it isn't crowded. Get gas before you go!
Here is a link to the NPS page for loop road. You won't be disappointed.
Don't feed the gators and beware of the giant bugs!
