Review from Jaki B.

We had a great time at Alligator Alley! The admission charge was very reasonable and it's good for two days. You have to buy meat, mice, or rats at an extra charge if you want to feed the critters, but well worth it if you don't have a squimish stomach.
The exhibits were clean and kept up well, and they have a variety of reptiles to check out. We bought meat to feed the alligators, which are fed through a tube into their tank. There's absolutely no danger involved, all of the reptiles are in fully enclosed, glass tanks.
My son also wanted to feed the snapping turtle (who the owner told us is named Lou) a live rat, which was admittedly hard to watch, but a fun educational experience about the food chain.
Highly recommended for reptile lovers! -

Two words: RIP OFF. 1) The animals were kept in the smallest enclosures I've ever seen and the water was filthy. I spent the entire time I was there feeling sorry for the reptiles instead of enjoying them! 2) More than half (and this is NOT an exaggeration, I'm being quite literal) of the tanks were EMPTY... as in no animal, no water, no scenery, NOTHING. There were only about 7 tanks with actual animals in them and they looked like they had been squeezed in. 3) When you get out of the "exhibit", they are selling reptiles like a pet store. This doesn't seem that bad until you stop to realize that most of these people are ON VACATION. How exactly does a tourist take care of a ball python in their hotel room? I watched an employee sell a snake to a woman who looked scared to even hold the thing. She asked absolutely nothing about the snake (even seasoned herpephiles will at least ask how well the snake is eating and how often) and all she took "home" with her was an aquarium (and one that was too small, at that). No food, no heat pad, no heat bulb, no water dish, no substrate, no care instructions... just an aquarium and a plastic container holding the reptile. We left with the impression that these people really didn't care about the creatures in their care and it was sickening.
