The Alligator Farm Zoological Park features a variety of animal species, including hundreds of native alligators. The allure of wild reptiles and their powerful presence entice thousands of vacationers to visit the park in St. Augustine each year. Exhibits include lemurs, Komodo dragons, toucans, and a sloth exhibit. The park is the only place in the world to see all 24 species of crocodilians in one place.
Opening their doors in 1893, the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park is one of the oldest attractions in the area. George Reddington and Felix Fire began this attraction with their own collection of alligators in South Beach on Anastasia Island. After a series of storms and fires, the St. Augustine Alligator Farm was moved to its current location closer to historic downtown St. Augustine.
Crocodile Crossing Zip Line
The St. Augustine Alligator Farm offers an intriguing zip line and aerial adventure course called Crocodile Crossing. Guests can coast at eye-level with exotic birds and dangle above crocodiles on one of two courses that reach up to 30 or 60 feet high. The Sepik River course (35 feet high and about 45 minutes long) is $37 per person. The Nile River course is higher and longer (about 90 minutes) and costs $67 per person.
And, for those who dare, Crocodile Crossing’s Python Challenge offers a 40-foot controlled free fall adventure. The price for the Python Challenge is $10 for one jump, $15 for three jumps, and $17 for two climbs and two jumps per person.
