arkansas alligator farm & petting zoo印象

This place is not bad to go to once. I have taken several people there over the years and it is fun the first time. It is a little expensive. $18 for 2 people with a discount. My fiance liked it but then she loves anywhere with animals.

The hotel staff recommended going at noon on Saturday for the feeding time. Was great and very entertaining. Lots of alligators being fed raw chicken by hand. My child enjoyed the petting zoo also.

We took our 3 year old grandson to see the alligators and he loved it. They have the largest mountain lions I have every seen. It is small but that was OK. I do that the admission price is a little high.

Our goal for our trip was to visit roadside fun places and this fits the bill. We were expecting just alligators, but we got to feed goats and deer and see other animals like monkeys, raccoons, mountain lions, wolves, peacocks, and ducks. It was fun holding a baby alligator.

This is a fairly small place that can be done in an hour or less depending on how much time you spend in each area. The staff was very friendly and would answer any questions we had. I did not have high expectations after some of the reviews I read. Most of the low ratings complain about the lack of movement by the alligators. I am not an expert, but I believe the gators are dormant in cold months, so little movement is expected. The trainer, did get in one of the pins and got them moving a little. There were a lot of gators at this place, all different ages and sizes. We were able to hold a smaller one which was cool. In addition to the gators you can feed some other animals and pet the goats. In a separate area there are wolves and other animals you can look at but not touch and feed. During our visit there was a visitor with a bright pink shirt that seemed to annoy one wolf. He followed her movement back and forth in his cage and was howling a lot. Once she went back inside the gift shop the wolf calmed down and stopped howling. It was very interesting to watch. Worth the stop!

Good points: historical attraction (open since 1902 and famous for selling baby alligators as pets early in the business) and my 2-year old got to hold a baby alligatorOdd points: advertise over 200 animals. We didn't count, but there were empty enclosures. It's completely self-guided... they say that you can go into the goat enclosure and feed the goats, but the larger goats were way too pushy for younger children. I recommend feeding all of the animals through the fence.

Can't miss 'em. Up close and very personal. We arrived just in time for feeding time. The feeders had stories to tell...including how Babe Right hit a ball from what is now a nearby parking lot. Was once a ball field. They have a marker where he stood. They estimate that he hit it directly into the alligator pit. Fun. There is an enclosed building with baby gators....a young man was in there BAREFOOT and wrangling them....giving people the chance to feed them. We were able to hang back when everyone cleared out to see the big feeding show and he grabbed one and allowed us to touch. Very cool! The farm itself is historical and dates back to the days of the construction of the Bath Houses. There was a need for attractions for people who were coming to use the Baths. Native to Arkansas, Alligators seemed a likely attraction.

My son LOVES alligators and was so excited to see them and to get to hold one. It was worth it for me just to see his excitment. They do have a TON of alligators! They range in size and age. There are a couple of other animals, but not a lot. It is a small facility, but everyone was extremely friendly and it was a nice spot to stop and stretch our legs. I feel sad for the mountain lions and wish their enclosure was larger. It's really too small for them but every animal looked healthy. You get to feed deer, donkey, an emu, and goats.. You can even pet the baby goats.. All in all it met expectations for me and we enjoyed our visit.

Personally not worth the money. Petting area only had goats. Most animals were not out because of the weather. Lots of alligators, but all just piled on top of each other and none of them were moving. Maybe it was just the time of year. Staff was very friendly.

We really enjoyed the alligator farm. Being that it was February and cold, they weren't moving around much. But the building they were housed in was very clean and had no smell at all. It was a quick visit, but we felt we got our money's worth.
