St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park - St. Augustine (FL)

4 /5 Gabriel Roman: We’ve been pass holders at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm for a while now, and it’s one of our favorite local spots. The season pass is a fantastic deal, especially if you live nearby or plan to visit more than once. However, the single-day admission does feel a bit pricey for the parks size, so the pass is the way to go if you’re a repeat visitor. What makes this place stand out is the incredible variety of crocodilians—it’s one of the only places in the world where you can see all 24 species in one location. They also do meaningful conservation and education work, which we respect. Beyond the alligators and crocodiles, the zoo features other reptiles, birds, and mammals, plus a lovely elevated boardwalk through the rookery. It’s a hidden gem for bird watchers and photographers—especially during nesting season when the trees are alive with activity. We also really appreciate how ADA-compliant and stroller-friendly the entire park is. The paths are smooth and easy to navigate, which makes a big difference when visiting with young kids or anyone with mobility needs. The playground is a great bonus for families, giving kids a space to burn off energy. And the gift shop is surprisingly good—well-stocked with quality items and some fun, unique finds. It’s one of the better zoo gift shops we’ve visited. That said, if you’re not especially into crocodiles or reptiles, the experience may feel repetitive after a while. But for those who are—even just a little—the park offers a peaceful, well-kept setting to learn, explore, and enjoy nature. Overall, the Alligator Farm is a unique and charming spot in St. Augustine.

5 /5 Tierra: This place is super cool!! Reasonable prices and you can leave and come back if you have a receipt. They have a bunch of birds everywhere that choose to live there and there are 100s of nests with baby birds along the walkway which was fun to look at. You can feed the gators along the wooden walk path. There are a couple little areas with AC because it was super hot in the sun. They had feeding shows. Super cool spot! Definitely recommend checking it out. They also have dippin dots...I love those.

5 /5 Ciara Culver: This is a nice hidden jewel to take the kids during the summer. The park was nice where it was big enough for families to enjoy themselves but not too big where you grow tiresome walking a theme park. I like how you receive a map when you first arrive with different activities and show times to attend throughout the day. The kids truly enjoyed the 25 cent machines to purchase food to feed the alligators and birds throughout the park. I admired the history they had throughout the Farm for a learning experience as well. There is also a place inside the farm where you can take pictures holding a live alligator or a snake. The food is more of a concession stand type of food and it’s pretty good. The prices aren’t too bad. The gift shop is also nice. I would truly recommend!

5 /5 Jill Powers: I thought this place was amazing. Just three adults spending the afternoon, I We ended up closing the place. We spent 4+ hours leisurely walking around and seeing the shows. The shows were interesting. The people very nice. My husband travels in a manual wheelchair and he found it to be very accessible.

5 /5 Holly Mosher: I took my 9 & 10 year old kids and we had a great time learning about all the different gators and crocs from around the world. There were a few other exotic animals and tons of different, colorful birds. The alligator feeding demo was a lot of fun and really impressive. The snack shack actually has a lot to offer at reasonable prices, too! We spent about 2-1/2 hours there, but you could easily spend 3-4 hours. I recommend getting a picture holding the small gator, it was a great experience!
