We didn't get to hatch a gator egg the day we went, but man did we have fun anyway. Lots of facts and information about alligators. We got to feed gators marshmallows, held a gator for a picture, and the best thing was catching foot-long gators in the pool.

There's also a deadly Nile crocodile on display. They explain alligator conservation in a fun way, as well as the importance of the alligator ranching industry.
