Once in the preserve the roads are not paved and can be muddy, I have a low car and there was one area I was a little nervous about, but we did not have any problems. We were given a map of the preserve at the entrance where we checked in and the pleasant worker suggested the best location to see the flowers. The preserve is open weekends November through May except when there is hunting. There are camping sites available. There are hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails. The preserve is quite a distance off Alligator Alley, but it was worth the time to get there. I would definitely return.

You check in at the welcome center and it's completely FREE. You are given a map and allowed to drive your vehicle down the path. It's not paved and can get muddy if it has rained a lot, but it's worth the drive. You might see birds, snakes, alligators and cattle, but during a particular season you can see these beautiful flowers all over the place. If you are into nature, biking and hiking, then this is a place to visit. Get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy some country time.

Two Guys Catering 12-7-24 I am giving this review from…read moresomeone that ate their food and watched them cater an event I attended. This event was an anniversary party with around 90 people in attendance. The presentation on the main table was amazing. It looked like a large Charcuterie Board that filled the entire table and some of it had 2 levels, it was just beautiful. There was a little bit of something for everyone on that table to eat and all I had was very good. The Servers were walking around with plates of Hors d Oeuvres which were amazing. I especially loved the Bacon wrapped Shrimp which were done to perfection. The Chicken Teriyaki was just as good. I like the Shrimp so much I had to ask for the recipe. I could have eaten a dozen of them easily. The servers were constantly walking around asking if they could give you more or if you had any trash to get rid of. At no time did we have to ask for food or clean up after ourselves. There were three large glass containers of drinks which they kept filled and chilled for us to grab drinks. They cut the three-tier cake once everyone was done eating the Hors d Oeuvres. The cake was superb in every way. This function from an attendee's point of view was perfection in every way these people were a first-class act. I must give them a 5 out of 5-star rating. If you have a function or need a cater look no further, they are your best choice. Follow me on FB for more reviews. Gulf Coast Terry

At every step of the process, they were supportive, informative, assisted in providing creative options and advice on how to best plan the event and utilize the venue. They met with us multiple times, took calls, responded timely to emails, we even met their momma! They continuously asked us questions to find out exactly what we wanted and utilized their extensive experience to help us put a great plan together. They don't not just take your order and provide catering; they literally LIVE the process with you and participate in your event! They made 100% sure everything was perfect. Their staff was on time, professional, and on point, the presentation was fantastic, and the food was DELICIOSO! They all knew how important this wedding was to us and they hit a home run in every single aspect. I would recommend them to ANYONE looking to impress your guests and ensure a smooth and delicious catering experience. BRAVO!!!

Alligator Flag Preserves is 18.46 acres. It was acquired on July 28, 2006 and opened to the public…read morein 2010. When Collier County took over this preserve it was overrun with invasive plants like Australian pine trees, melaleuca, and Brazilian pepper. The exotic plants were removed to restore the native habitat. The preserve takes it's name from the native alligator flag plant. Alligator flag (Thalia geniculata) grows in dense patches of plants that reach heights taller than most people. The leaves of the plant will wave in the air when alligators pass through them signaling their presence. This preserve does not have a parking lot. I parked at a nearby Dunkin' Donuts and walked in. The preserve floods seasonally, August to October every year, but it was completely dry when I visited. When you enter the preserve you can pick up a trail map. The trail is natural earth and makes a one mile loop. The area on the map that was listed as a marsh was completely dry. That is the area where you can find the alligator flag plants. The trails were for the most part maintained although there was one part where I needed to step over some trees. Offshoots of the main trail end at a residential neighborhood and warehouses. This preserves is home to the Big Cypress Fox Squirrel which is listed as threatened in Florida. Other animals that have been recorded here include the American robin, blue jay, great egret, mourning dove, red bellied woodpecker, red shouldered hawk, raccoon, black racer snake, and monarch butterfly. Slash pine, cypress, red, maple, and cabbage palm are some of the canopy trees here. Native shrubs include saw palmetto, wax myrtle, cocoa plum,dahoon holly, and myrsine. Besides the alligator flag you can also find on the ground swamp fern and wire grass. I didn't see any animals on my walk but I also didn't see any other people. I had the whole preserve to myself. There are a lot of more popular places to hike where you will see more wildlife in the area but all of the well known trails are currently closed. I just needed a secluded area to take a walk and this fit the need. With the lack of parking it doesn't invite outside visitors. In normal circumstances you can skip over this but in the current situation it was nice to find a place where I could get out in nature and get some exercise.

For a premium tea experience, I expected more variety, better portions, and higher-quality pastries. Honestly, I've had much better afternoon tea experiences elsewhere for less money.

The atmosphere may be nice, but the value simply wasn't there. Unfortunately, I wouldn't return or recommend it at this price point.
