  • Great place to see some live gators. Souvenir shopping is available and you can hold a baby alligator if you want to. Go by.

  • A pond, park, super friendly people in the chateau, and you can hold alligators! The guide knew what they were talking about as well, an awesome stop.

  • awesome! Free and educational. These guys know the area and offer great suggestions while visiting. And I got to hold a gator! Bonus! Especially love the fact that they only keep one male for breeding and the others get locally released into the wild. Great work! Keep it up.
  • What an amazing place to visit! My son (10) and I enjoyed it so much. Shout out to Haley for being so knowledgeable and patient with my son and all his question! Friendly staff/volunteers threw out the entire place! You can see the alligators up close and even hold the baby one's! They also have a beautiful park for the kids and pond with ducks walking all around!
  • This is a great stop on the way through. It is a unique opportunity to get up close with alligators. It is also an educational experience. You can ask knowledgeable staff questions about gators. They are beautiful animals and essential to the biosphere and local fauna. Highly recommend this experience - I have been multiple times and continue to go by again when I can
  • How freaking amazing! Love that this is an opportunity available to the public for free! We bought post cards to help support the cause, but you don’t need to buy anything. Gators aging from one to five years old. Huge snapper aged around 86 years old.
  • Everyone was so friendly. This was manned by a younger group of people. There were a couple of younger guys who worked for a couple of years with the gators. They were very knowledgeable about the alligators and showed us how to appropriately handle them while holding them. 🐊 The gal at the front desk was so helpful in pointing us to the best destinations on our route. 100% a must stop if you're in this part of the country!
