So, I love this place. It's really a bunch of reptiles lying around soaking up the fl sun, but that's basically what reptiles do. It's not a rinky dink little place where you just feel sorry for the animals, it's mid size and well kept. We spent about an hour wandering around . Go before feeding time and get a good spot. So worth it.
Nice place to visit but a little pricey. All kinds of alligators and crocodiles from all over the world, check out the images I added. Snack bar with pretty good Reubens and a decent selection of snacks and food. Play area for kids and what looks to be a pretty cool hang glide area with an extra cost.
Spectacular That is all I can say! But I will try to muster other words. This place blew me away. I thought I was walking into a nice roadside zoo gardens But it is so much more! They had everything! Well ok not everything But they had so many amazing animals that you do not usually get to see. All of their enclosures were designed wonderfully to allow us, the spectator, to see animals almost all the time while giving the animals enough cover to feel comfortable. I would recommend this place to a one who has a car and gas. And if you don't Start walking I guarantee it will be worth it!
This place has an astounding variety of alligators and crocodiles. They also have some other animals. Don’t miss the feeding demonstrations! Above the park is a zip line course that requires a separate fee. There’s a short course and a long course. We did the short course and it was great! It was a mixture of zip lines and aerial obstacles. We highly recommend it. We also did the gopher tortoise experience ($45 for up to 5 people) which allows you to get up close with the animals.
Finally made our way here, and it was wonderful! Much more than I expected with the addition of the many types of birds, lemurs, monkeys, and more! We caught the Gator feeding which of course was fun and gross but also very informative. Beautifully maintained natural park/farm/mini zoo, with tons of shade trees and winding paths to explore. The habitats were also very well kept and spacious for the various gators, crocodiles, and other animals. A really nice variety of gators and crocs from around the world. Do not miss Maximo he is enormous! Staffers were very friendly and informative as well. We spent a couple of hours and it was very relaxing and nice!
Alligators and crocodiles of every shape and size. Quite possibly more than you've ever seen before. Some large enough to make you hold your little ones just a bit closer. If you love these reptilian creatures, make sure to stop by
We had a great day. The zip line adventure was fun and unique to ones we have done before. We also were able to witness alligator feeding. That was fascinating. Overall a great visit everyone can enjoy!
Fun for kids, great programs for learning about animals. Not as extensive as a regular zoo, but in a good way. Our kids don't have the stamina for long outings so this fits the bill. This was great for their first time in Florida. For me it captured the tourist fun of the old time alligator farms from my childhood in the 1970's and added in an extensive collection of alligators and crocodiles from around the world .. with up-to-date messages about ecology and environmental stewardship. Plus, we got to see the American alligators gobble up dead rats.!
This park is fantastic. My visit took place in February of 2017. The diversity in species of crocodiles and alligators is amazing, and the addition of other animals makes it more like a full fledged zoo. The feeding show is absolutely incredible to witness, it's a must if visiting the park. The staff here was friendly, the facility was clean, and the animals seemed to have ample room and quality enclosures.
Last day in the Sunshine State and thought we would give this place a try. Turned out to be really cool and interesting. Lots of Gators (main reason why we came) and other wildlife, especially birds. Had no idea there was so much to see inside. Would have hung around longer but it was so hot that getting in the water with the Gators started to sound like a good idea so we left. Would highly recommend for people trying to kill time before the flight home.
What a cool place! Best deal is the long course zip lining. 67 bucks for a 2 hour zip line and challenge course and it includes the entry for the park when your done so you can see the rest of the park. The zip line allows you to see parts of the park that you can't see walking through it. I will without a doubt do this again next time I'm in st augustine.
The kids loved it. Nice walk and plenty of animals to keep the interest. Gift shop had reasonable pricing and a decent selection. There are informational shows as well as the favorite feeding time show. Great value and a lot of fun for all.
Decent place with A LOT of gators and a few other animals. Plenty of parking. Very informative lectures, somewhat helpful placards on animal displays. Think of it as a small specialty zoo for gators and a few other critters and you won't be disappointed!
Neat exhibits. Animals appear to be WELL cared for. Sky walk obstacle courses (1 hr and 2 hr options). Nice gift shop. Shaded walkways. Food court with refillable souvenir cup options.
