Alligator feeding time is educational and entertaining. Mason is a great speaker.

The kids loved this place and so did we! Great fun feeding the tortoises and gators, looking for crabs and birds, and checking out the snakes and other critters inside too. Awesome gentleman in the educational center taught the kids about cold blooded animals and let them touch the gator. We will definitely be back on our next trip!

On our visit we did not see a lot of birds but we really enjoyed feeding and seeing the alligators and the sulcata tortoises.

Very dedicated and knowledgeable staff. One gentleman let my Grandsons touch an alligator even though we weren't able to stay for the lecture.

got to feed alligators. you could feed the turtles right up to their mouths. it's a good walk, with beautiful scenery. lots of birds, fish, even saw some crabs. well worth the price of admission.
