Our family went down to celebrate our son's 3rd birthday... he absolutely loves alligators! To say this was an incredible experience is an understatement! We all enjoyed this, even our 13 year old son. It is a hands on experience, but also very educational. The keepers take pride in what they do, and love sharing about the animals here. Our 5 year old daughter, who absolutely loves wolves, was excited to see their wolves, Genesis and Tinkerbell! We will definitely make the 2.5 hour drive down again to visit, and I would recommend it to anyone who is in the area! Our kids are still talking about it a month later, and asking when we can go back!

What an experience! Quant in size but Big at heart, learning, activities, and sightseeing! The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. We got to feed the animals and hold a baby alligator (I was scared out of my mind period, but I did it though ). Really enjoyed it!

Loved the visit. Our granddaughter at the time we visited this place was obsessed with alligators! May 2019, as I am going back to review places we’ve visited. I have to say interesting! They have a petting zoo, you feed animals, pet alligators for real!! The animals seem very open and alert when they seen their handlers coming, I’ve never seen a alligator be so loving to one their handlers, but there’s a first ti everything! Then there’s a interesting piece of history.. the mermaid! I don’t think it’s still out on display. But the Mummified remains amd articles written about its find was really interesting and unique.

The staff were super helpful and enthusiastic about doing their jobs! We’re definitely going back!

We enjoyed feeding the donkeys and emus outside. You get a little bit of food to do it. You can purchase more if you want to. We paid the extra to feed the little alligators and parakeets. It's small but enjoyable and the staff was friendly.

The Alligator farm Is not a must see. It was okay, it gave us something to do. It is small. They have a few other animal to look at and pet. It is a 1.00 for 2 oz cup of checks mix to feed the animals. The most exciting thing to do is to hold a baby Alligator. The lady showing the Alligator was friendly, the other staff acted as if we were a bother.

This was certainly a great place to bring the children. The petting zoo was really awesome for the kids and feeding the Emus was exciting.
Holding the alligator was fun but what was even better was feeding the parakeets!
The staff was really friendly and told good stories and answered all questions.

This was a great place to visit with family especially if you have small children. It is a great opportunity for kids and adults to interact with all kinds of animals. You can feed many of them directly. The staff here are very friendly and knowledgeable about the animals and their care. You will not want to miss this attraction while visiting Hot Springs.
