Gator Country's Big Al is no longer the biggest gator in Texas. His next-pond neighbor is now Big Tex, seven inches longer at 13 feet 11 inches. The many other gators live in one of four group ponds. Gator Country has a gift shop and a concessions building.

Gator Country is not just a whole lot of gators -- it's also a whole lot of other things...turtles, snakes, frogs, and even a very friendly skunk. Be sure to not miss the educational presentation by the very knowledgeable interns!

A giant man-made alligator greets visitors coming into Beaumont on I-10. It can be seen from the highway. It is right at the FM365 exit.

Come a bit before the gator demonstration begins to see the gators. The park consists of five ponds and can be toured in less then a half hour.
