On a recent family-outing we had a wonderful time at Gator Park. Although we've been there before, the guide showed us something we'd never seen...2.5 week old alligators (they look like salamanders). They are so adorable! The guide mentioned that the fall is the best time of the year to see newborn animals. If you'd like to see the babies for yourself, visit Gator Park during the months of September and October.

Even though the airboat ride is a treat in itself, they also have a short wildlife show.  During the show you see 3 year-old alligators, a skunk and others.  You also learn the differences between crocodiles and alligators and tortoises and turtles.
For a few dollars per person, you can also take a photograph holding a young alligator.  It's a fun, exciting place for little ones and adults alike.

Enjoy your visit!!!
