Fodor's Review:

Founded in 1893, the Alligator Farm is one of the oldest (and, at times, smelliest) zoological attractions in Florida and is credited with popularizing the alligator in the national consciousness and helping to fashion an image for the state. In addition to oddities like Maximo, a 15-foot, 1,250-pound saltwater crocodile, and a collection of rare albino alligators, the park is also home to Land of Crocodiles, the only place in the world to see all 23 species of living crocodilians. Reptiles are the main attraction, but there's also a wading-bird rookery, an exotic-birds and mammals exhibit, and nature trails. Educational presentations are held throughout the day, including live alligator feedings (not for the faint of heart).

Cost: $21.95
Open: Daily 9-5
