About

A family-run roadside attraction full of gators of all sizes in basically their natural surroundings. Many appear to have been lounging in the same place for decades. Someone is usually around to let you hold a small gator. You can also pay a small fee to feed a gator, or pay more to get up close and personal with a huge one. If you're lucky, a flock of (wild) vultures will stop in for a visit. In late August it's hot and humid and there is a gator hatching festival. Make a reservation for the hatching experience, it is the busiest time of year.
