It is time for another Zoo Review!
Saint Augustine Alligator Farm
Saint Augustine Alligator Farm
Saint Augustine, FL
Date of Visit: December 29, 2015
As we get ready to take Eli to our favorite zoo so far in Atlanta, I figured it was a good time to review the last new zoo attraction pre-Eli.

As we get ready to take Eli to our favorite zoo so far in Atlanta, I figured it was a good time to review the last new zoo attraction pre-Eli.
Highlights: The saltwater crocodile exhibit and getting to see that massive crocodile underwater. My 3 year old loved that! The komodo dragons are always a fun animal. Those guys are so cool. There is a reason the komodo dragon is my 2nd favorite animal and they are always cool to look at. Seeing every species of crocodile in the world was neat.
Disappointments: Same with our gatorland review, once you see one alligator, you have seen them all. Too many regular alligators, would have liked more variety. The nile crocodile was kind of small and that is typically our favorite.
Additional Tips: Try to catch a feeding or a show, they are neat.
Pictures
The coolest animal there was the komodo dragon, but for some reason, pictures all turned out rough. Here are some good pictures though.
Baby Albino Alligators

Overall Rating:
3.5 out of 5 elephants
This was cooler than Gatorland simply because of the saltwater crocodile exhibit being cooler and the added komodo dragons. The park was very similar to that park though. I am sure all alligator farms are incredibly similar. This one did get bonus points for the dragons and the salty. Those were very cool. We will be back at some point, because Saint Augustine is an awesome town filled with history and this place was cool.
Stay tuned for reviews of the Naples Zoo, our return trip to Atlanta, our trip to the Georgia Aquarium and much, much, more.
