    I brought my daughter for her birthday. We had a great time. There were so many things I didn't know about alligators. it was so interesting. The staff was so much fun. I would definitely go again. Take the 1130 tour so you have time to go eat in Abita after.

    Best experience ever!! We simply loved it! It was our first time petting gators. We learned a lot in this tour and the tour guides were very kind to answer all our questions. The best part was playing with the gators in the pool. One the coolest things we’ve ever done!

    Nit only was this a fun event for all ages but the price is fantastic. It was equally entertaining and informative. The gentleman that lead the tour was funny and made the entire experience. A must for visiting Louisiana.

    The people that work there, and the person giving the "tour", were great. But the experience is disappointing. For as far out of town (it's a drive) it is, it's not worth it in our opinion. Much more of them talking and teaching about gators and why they do what they do. Really drove home the point that it's the greatest wildlife preservation there is. You get to see very small ones and then much larger ones in their "farmed" setting which is really just a big dome like warehouse like that they all live in. You get a few marshmallows to throw at them. Not exciting. Then more talking and then bringing out a bigger gator (still small) for everyone to touch but his mouth was taped shut and it was just sad. We did pay for a picture with one that you hold independently of the guide but also, underwhelming. Was the least favorite thing we did during our week in New Orleans. And we did everything.

    Came Here With My Daughter On A Field Trip. The Gator Handlers Are Very Knowledgeable And Not Boring. They Made The Kids Experience Very Enjoyable. We Even Got A Chance To Meet Bob.., The Tailess Alligator. I'll Bring The Whole Family Next Time.

    What a pleasant surprise...this Louisiana attraction was such a hit with not only my kiddos, but the whole family! Actually, I booked for the wrong date, but the staff was super accommodating! Royce has such a breadth of knowledge of the American alligator and crocodilians in general. We we often found ourselves in stitches during his tour and learned TON too! We handled, fed and learned all about the species. Totally worth the drive! Highly recommend for young and old alike!

    The experience of hatching baby alligators was beyond amazing and these people were the best. There were lots of small kids in the groups around us and they were able to teach them to handle the babies while still having fun ❤️❤️

    Our tour guide was awesome and always on top of his pun game! Lots of fun for everyone including the kids. Lots of information, trivia, jokes, and of course the best part - alligator petting! We did the basic tour plus the photo op and also alligator catching for the kids and one adult for supervision so the other one could take pictures of the event. We ended up upgrading our tour tickets from that day to an annual pass so we could visit a few more times this year. All of us including the kids really enjoyed the entire experience and can't wait to go back! Thank you so much to our tour guide! I'm sorry we forgot your name in all the alligator excitement 😅 but we really enjoyed the experience! Hope you enjoy the pictures we took!

    Really a good experience with my family. My two kids (3 and 4) loved feeding and holding the animals. The staff was kind and likable and very informative.

    My daughter and I did this yesterday. It was so informative and so much fun! The staff were welcoming, and helpful, and the alligators were amazing. I love having the opportunity of a hands on experience, and this did not disappoint! I’ll be back for the hatching in August!

👍👍 It's the rainy season so the park was wet. It's a great park for the amazing trees. It's left as natural as possible which, to me, makes a great park. Facilities are ok.
