Tom & Jerry’s Airboat Tours in Lake Panasoffkee has always been known for thrilling boat rides across Florida’s wild waters. Now, there’s something new sparkling on land too — a family-friendly gem mine where kids (and adults) can pan for treasures.
A Guest’s Experience
Recent visitor Linda Durst summed it up perfectly after her Sunday afternoon visit:
“We spent a Sunday afternoon at Tom and Jerry’s and we had a great time. They have a new owner who has added some new additions, our 12-year-old great-grandson loved panning for gold. The boat ride was the best. My pictures will show it better than I can write it.”
Her story highlights what makes Tom & Jerry’s so special: it’s not just an airboat ride, it’s a full adventure for the whole family.
The New Gem Mine
The freshly added gem mining activity is already a hit. Kids can pan for sparkling gemstones, fossils, arrowheads, and “gold” in a hands-on experience that makes them feel like real treasure hunters. It’s a calmer activity that perfectly balances the high-energy thrill of the airboat ride.
Classic Airboat Thrills
Of course, the heart of Tom & Jerry’s remains the unforgettable airboat tours. Guests glide across Lake Panasoffkee, spotting alligators, turtles, exotic birds, and stunning natural scenery. For many, it’s the ultimate Florida adventure — wild, beautiful, and exhilarating.
