I have visited St. Augustine many times and I didn't know about this alligator farm. Too bad, but I am glad to find out about it and visit it in January while in the area for the weekend.
This place used to be an old side road attraction. Since then it has expended, it is a nice size, a decent little zoo where you can spend at least a couple of hours.
The gradens are well organized, all alligators are well represented from each continent. Besides alligators (best selection ever) they have other animals and birds (turtles, phytons, chinchilla, parrots, vulture, iguanas, komodo dragon, macawas, viper, etc).
They have daily feedings and shows you can witness but since we went on a cold day, it wasn't much action. Still, we got to see the albino (yes, they got one) being fed mice when we first got inside.
They do some zip line packages but the space isn't too wide for that. But you can also tried it, a cousin of ours did and said it was like a boot camp experience.
Otherwise, you can stroll the place and enjoy the best selection of alligators (the biggest one, Maximo is the salwater crocodile that is worth the visit) and beautiful birds.
Admission is $34 for adults and $19,99 for children. Open daily from 9-5, they stay open till 6 pm during summers. Check their site for the schedule, and a $1 off coupon.
Big parkings, plenty of clean restrooms around. You can buy food here also, or bring your own.
Nice spaces for the animals, grab your map and discover the wonders of this place. When in Florida... check out an alligator farm!
