- Ponchatoula, Louisiana - Old Hardhyde - Town Alligator
Sit down literally beside an alligator. The cage is beautiful and clean. Looks well-maintained. The town is great, easy to navigate around. One of the main reasons we came was to visit the alligator. Could use a large sign showing where to find him. Otherwise you wouldn't know he was there.

Gator was cool but slightly depressing, since he is alone in a small enclosure. There are tons of antique stores nearby, which make the detour worthwhile.

Old Hardhide was sitting very still in the corner of his cage. The kids liked it!

Ponchatoula, Louisiana - Old Blue Eyes - Town Gator in a Cage
Neat town center, looks well maintained. They should have more information, or a guide, though, for the history.
