Lake Panasoffkee, FL — The two scaly stars of Tom & Jerry’s Airboat Rides—our resident gators Scoot and Hoot Sr.—just got a lagoon upgrade fit for swamp royalty. And let’s just say… they’re loving the VIP treatment.
Their new clear blue water lagoon now features a white-sand-inspired bottom, a multi-tier cascading waterfall, and a massive sunning log perfect for mid-morning lounging (because even alligators love a spa day).
Nestled under the oaks at the front of the property, the upgraded habitat is the first stop for guests before they even board their airboat tour. You’ll hear the waterfall before you see it—and chances are, you’ll catch Scoot or Hoot perched like kings of the Everglades, basking in the mist and soaking in the Florida vibes.
“We wanted to create a space where our guests could get up close and safely observe Florida’s iconic wildlife in a beautiful, respectful environment,” said the owner of Tom & Jerry’s. “This is more than a photo op—it’s a front-row seat to the personality of real Florida gators.”
And yes—you’ll still get the chance to meet Hoot the baby gator up close after your airboat ride. But now, guests can enjoy double the gator action, from hatchling to heavyweights, with this upgraded exhibit that’s fast becoming a favorite selfie spot.
