east texas gators and wildlife park印象

Both my 9 year old and my 1 year old had a blast playing and petting the animals (not the gators of course). There are a variety of animals to pet, pigs, goats, turtles, a camel and more. The alligators are cool too. One even made a loud yell for all of us! We had lunch at their cafe. It was good with homemade french fries. Didn't have enough nerve to try the Gator Stick though. Maybe next time. We plan on going back when the grand parents are here. I recommend everyone visit. It's inexpensive fun in East Texas, only $6 pp for adults.

We live in Wills Point and were looking for something to do on a Saturday for our 10 year old daughter. We had never even hear of this place although Grand Saline isn't far. It was really clean and all the animals were fun to look at. My daughter held a snake but refused to hold a baby alligator. She did touch it's tail, reluctantly. LOL Overall, it was a nice little outing. And not real pricy either. Only around $6 per person. They even have birthday parties there. We would definately go again.

The owner and his wife spent time teaching my kids how to properly hold the snakes and ferret. My husband and I both got to hold the small alligators. Wow! The kids played on the bounce house and the rope swings and feed the geese/ducks. The alligator whisperer (owner) showed us where the alligators were "hiding" and we didn't get to see a feeding, as it was a very cold day. We would go back. It was better than the local crocodile place we have here b/c it was much more hands on. The place could use better upkeep, it was dirty/smelly in the small bird/turtle building, but the owner said that it had been too cold to let the animals roam and the building air out. Bathrooms and snack area were clean and there was hand sanitizer everywhere for those that touched reptiles.

This place is great! The family that runs it was very welcoming and made our kids so happy and accommodated. The grounds looked great and are well kept. Very happy family!

We found this park and had to go. It was perfect for small ones! The employees were very helpful and welcoming. I would recommend anyone in the area to check it out.

My husband and I spent several hours here. I did something I said I'd never ever do. I held a snake! The proprietor was very friendly and knowledgeable. He encouraged me to hold the snake. I can now say I did that. I also got to hold a small alligator. The place is very clean and doesn't smell. They have snakes, birds, small mammals, goats, a donkey, a steer and other animals besides the alligators. I'd love to go back and take my grandkids.

Even though the Texas heat was scorching, the experience was amazing. Loved the knowledgeable staff, they were patient with kids asking questions and let them hold different animals.

To be fair can only comment on the weekend steak special.Heard about it so wanted to try for ourselves. Were told they were "kinda full" in this only 7 table space. Shared the end of a wall bench table with a couple who said they came there every Fri. nite, so we were looking forward to a great dinner. Only 1 waitress so service was slow. Had to ask for menu. Ordered the 12 oz. ribeye that on the website says comes with salad, loaded baked potato, and drink for $17. Wrong!.Now it $20 and the salad and drink are extra. Glass of water is $1. Steak was paper thin so it was over cooked. Couple next to us were surprised when they got their bill. We asked about the website price and were told they hadn't had time to change it.Food came in the door from outside.Never again.

My wife, my granddaughter, and I visited East Texas Gators on a chilly Saturday. Once you enter the gift shop/inside animal displays, friendly staff invites you (especially kids) to touch and hold a variety of animals. This makes for great photo opportunities. I actually held an alligator for the first time! The admission price is $6 for adults and $5 for children. Outside of the gift shop, there are a number of animals that can be viewed. There are a few animals in the petting barn. This is a fun place for kids, but will occupy their time between 1-2 hours.We stayed and ate the Saturday evening meal. I had the gator ettouffee with Cajun bread and salad. My wife had the filet mignon with loaded potato. My granddaughter had a cheeseburger and fries. The cheeseburger and steak was grilled outside. I liked the taste of the ettouffee, so I took some to go. After we left, we didn’t make it far down the road before I blew up a restroom at a Burger King on I-30. My gut was making sounds like the giant terminator machine on the movie “Terminator: Salvation”. I tried my carryout portion of the ettouffee after we returned home the next evening – it cleaned me out again. I DO NOT recommend the gator ettouffee unless you have a colonoscopy scheduled in the near future. There is one person that waits the tables, thus the service is slow. From the time we ordered our food until the food arrived, it was 65 minutes. All together, the food plus coffee was $34.00 even.
