The Alligator Attraction

Absolutely ridiculous. $ 10-​$ 15 to hold a stupid alligator? Freaking money hungry. It’s one room, with alligators in cages. The cages are very nice, so there is that… But seriously, do yourself a favor and don’t come here.

I’m going to call/​write someone regarding this place… it’s pathetic. The gators are in tiny boxes, living on carpet with little pools. There is zero natural habitat. They have two that you can take pictures with that they keep their mouth wired shut the whole day. This place should be closed down.

Great experience for the price! Staff was very friendly and informative. The kids got some great interaction with the gators and other animals. They should mention that the big guy isn’t there before you get in, but I get that he’s the big draw.
Even without the biggest gator I still highly recommend!!! Great value for the experience.

We got there as soon as they were closing up. They did allow us to go ahead and come in and said we could at least look around and watch as they put up the gators, but still charged full price, but hey, it was better than nothing I guess. They were friendly, had a huge turtle roaming around that they let the kids sit on and take photos with. I could give a better assessment, but it was a spur of the moment thing so I can’t be a judge over getting the full experience, but with what we did, it put a smile on the kids face so that’s all that mattered!

This place is nice as long as you have not been on an alligator farm or swamp tour. It’s a small area with mostly small baby gators. There is one large gator and other various reptiles such as tortoises and lizards. We were the only ones in the place, but it was also a Thursday afternoon around 3pm. The area was very quiet, and the staff was sweet and gave us a lot of attention.
The entrance fee and the regular prices were a little pricey. I wouldn’t have gone if there wasn’t a groupon for it. The $ 16 groupon included the entrance fee, feeding the gators, and a picture holding a gator for up to 5 people.
The Alligator Attraction isn’t something to go out of your way for, but it’s a nice place to kill time (We were waiting for our dolphin tour down the street.) Will definitely only be a one-​time visit though.

The staff was very friendly and had a great sense of humor. We did a groupon special to feed the gators and get our picture taken. Worth every penny! Our daughter had lots of fun feeding the gators and watching them jump for the hot dog. Very family friendly and other animals besides gators which were stingrays, turtles and fish. It is a small facility and mainly only have smaller gators but we knew this going into it from reading the other reviews on here. We would go back if we came to the area again.

Awesome for kids. I was initially skeptical but am glad we went. Our boy (almost 2 yrs old) really had a heck of a time and he is more cautious than rambunctious. I’d recommend this place for kids under say, 10 years old. Older than that and YMMV.
It’s not big, but is large enough to be worth the visit + small enough to be quick for short attention spans. A great little funky diversion out of the heat. Clean and safe way to see alligators (and a few other amphibians) up close at an inexpensive cost.

Don’t be fooled by the glowing review, this place is a complete waste of time. We paid $ 14 for a family of four (two adult, two kids), even though their posted prices was $ 4 per adult and $ 2 per child. They insist family prices are higher. Then it’s $ 5 to feed a few dinky crocs and $ 10 to touch one.
