Not worth the money

Definitely not worth the money. They advertise as all you can eat but give you 45mins to find seating and actually eat. The ribs were not soft at all. The chicken tenders were mid. The only good thing they had was the cornbread. You have to pay for everything else.

It was the perfect amount of time to keep things moving from one thing to another. I have a teen with me and was worried it might feel too long for 4 hours and it was just perfect

Dawson family on the Jungle queen

The boat ride was great, the curator told us all about the history of the homes we saw. The island was beautiful. There were different types of parrots to view . The gator inclosure was closed due to heavy rains, the gators had to be moved to another location. The food was 2 stars at best. The coleslaw and cornbread were the best. The beans were alright but too much pepper. The ribs were pretty good if you eat pork. Many of my family members do not eat pork so they were left eating hard dry chicken tenders. When they said BBQ chicken and ribs we just assumed it would be real chicken like wings, drumsticks, thighs, or breast! The show was definitely the main attraction! And it was awesome. We learned to tell a song through dance. My grandkids really enjoyed that part. There was plenty of seating and exploring the island took just a few minutes. And whatever you do please purchase your parking ticket on the boat! We paid $50 instead of $20!

Always fun

We been to Jungle Queen dinner and show before few times and loved it every time. We appreciated that there was food option for both meat lovers and for those of us that don’t eat meat. The ride and show was always equally awesome. This time we went with family that does not eat meat and to our surprise there was no meatless option. They ended up eating fries, coleslaw and beans but I do not consider that a meal only bunch of side dishes. So although they still had great time because of everything else, I felt somewhat disappointed that this adventure did not offer pescatarian option.
