$30 per adult seemed a bit high for a 30 minute boat ride. $5 extra to feed the gators and another $5 to hold a baby alligator.
[Marianne, 05/21/2025]They feed the gators raw chicken on Saturdays, which gets them really excited. Skip the $5 chow, which doesn't interest them much, and go on a Saturday.

Y'all come see Boudreaux the Zombie Gator. Watch as he lays motionless in his pool or lays in the sun. If you're lucky you may even see him move. Boudreaux, like most gators, doesn't do much. If you show up in January like we did, don't expect much from the gators; it's too cold!

Very cool and creepy being that close to an alligator. Worth the small price to get in.

Hours are 9-5 everyday. Admission is $5. You walk on a raised wooden boardwalk through the swamp. They also have displays of live young gators and you get to hold one. They have airboat rides for an extra fee. Very friendly staff.
