opening day – Alligator Alley https://gatoralleyfarm.com Alligator Farm & Family Nature Adventure Mon, 25 Mar 2019 16:09:03 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 First Feeding of the Year https://gatoralleyfarm.com/first-feeding-of-the-year/ Mon, 25 Mar 2019 13:35:48 +0000 https://gatoralleyfarm.com/?p=685 Live feedings are back in season for 2019, and they are bigger than ever! If you haven’t visited during a live feeding and watched dozens of hungry alligators chomp on their lunch, get yourself to Alligator Alley NOW! These guys are HUNGRY, and it makes for quite the show.

Our feedings are at 11, 1 and 4 every day and typically last anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes (depending on how hungry these guys are!). We usually go through about 200 pounds of pig per day to feed our growing fellas. Check out the clip below from a 4-o’clock feeding to see what’s in store for your first live feeding visit!

Don’t forget – we host field trips and birthday parties, too! For more information, check out our hours and pricing or give us a call at 251-946-2483.

Opening Day at Alligator Alley https://gatoralleyfarm.com/opening-day-at-alligator-alley/ Fri, 01 Feb 2019 19:29:55 +0000 https://gatoralleyfarm.com/?p=670 The wait is finally over! Alligator Alley is scheduled to be back in action for 2019 on Friday, February 8, and our alligators can’t wait to greet our guests. It’s been a long winter and the warmer weather has been missed by many at the swamp. As the weather heats up, our scaly friends tend to become more active and get back to basking in the sun.

 

 

While alligators are most energetic when the temps sit between 82- and 92-degrees Fahrenheit, our little pals get eager when they see friendly faces touring the farm! Throughout the next several months, we’ll begin seeing more and more alligators break free from their camouflage and lounge in the sun with their friends.

 

 

If you’ve been waiting all winter to come back for a visit to Alligator Alley, mark your calendar for Friday, February 8! We’ll be open 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. for you and your family to start a guided adventure to visit with our alligators. As you take in the view on your nature walk, continue your adventure along the elevated boardwalk to see alligators in their natural habitat along with other swamp inhabitants such as turtles, ospreys, owls and bull frogs only a couple feet away!

 

For more details about pricing or hours, visit our website. For those interested in the return of our live feeding times, they will return in early March! STAY TUNED, FOLKS!
