The only reason I give it a four star rating instead of 5 stars is because of the lack of animal identification/info signs. There were many animals without any information. We didn't know what they were. There were some signs but not for every animal. They were randomly placed.

Not crowded. Variety of animals. Clean. Affordable. Quick stop. Worth the money. Our kids enjoyed feeding fresh fruit to [most] animals throughout the park. We spent an hour here.

We took the entire family,grandparents, cousins,aunts and uncles! The party of 13 made for great memories. We found a Groupon rate of 2 tickets for $8. Well worth the drive. The staff is friendly and informative. Lots of curiosities for the family to see. We all took turns holding the 2 year old gator! We didn't eat here because we arrived at opening time. FYI feeding time is 11am and 3pm.

I would recommend this to anyone! Me and my boyfriend loves this. We held a baby gator, albino boa constrictor, chinchilla, ferret, etc. everything they have in there! The gator swamp in he back was cool, and they even have gator kabobs! Wonderful experience.

This place is awesome! It's a little family owned place and they have the coolest animals of all sorts...the workers walk around with the animals out of the cages and let you pet and hold them. Including the baby alligators. Everyone is SO nice! Snack place and tables to sit and eat. Indoor and outdoor animals. If I could leave more than 5 stars I would!

The people here are so incredibly nice and helpful, and they are more than willing to let children handle or pet the safer animals.
