Customer Reviews
INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! Me and the wife did the tour ourselves, only had the cup of reptile/goat feed, and bag of the croc/alligator food. There was another option to wait on a tour guide, want but a little more. They e were carrying a bucket of chicken, so I'm sure it was fun. We as adults had a blast, so I know the kids will love it! The land tortoise part was super up close and personal as well. If you in the area you HAVE to go. Highly recommend it! Staff were super friendly and answered all my silly questions I had.
What an AWESOME experience, staff was knowledgeable and accommodating. Lots of areas to explore in addition to what's in the tour, lots of cool flora and fauna, variety of critters and just an all out fun day. We packed a picnic and enjoyed a late morning tour then walked the grounds on our own after lunch to see and explore more.
We bought tickets online for a Monday, prob best way to get them. We have no kids & this was cool for adults. We practically had the place to ourselves. Maybe about 6 other people there. Definitely buy the food to give to the gators. They’re like pets…they swim towards you for food, but watch out the big guys like to take over. I was actually splashed..they get feisty for their food. The goats are cute especially the babies, they jump up and greet you on the boardwalk area. You can pet them. The crocs are pretty cool to see but the gators seem more active (at least when we were watching). The turtles are great, they too can fight over food. Overall, very cool experience. You can see the whole place in about 1.5 hours self guided. Parking was right out front. Can be muddy.
