Ride a Florida airboat in virtual reality, earn discount for real thing
Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures has expanded operations into virtual reality after 30 years of in-person business in sunny Florida.
A Florida Cyber Swamp
Located in Kissimmee, Fla., Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures offers airboat tours of the sunshine state’s Everglades and animal encounters with the wildlife therein.
Now, prospective visitors and longtime guests alike can visit Boggy Creek virtually in a new metaverse experience. It’s accessible with VR headsets, as well as computers and mobile devices.
The cyber visit includes a two-minute virtual airboat ride, educational animal presentations, and (on VR headsets only) a gemstone mining game, in which players can earn discount admission to the real Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures and a free fossil & gem mining add-on experience.
