Alligator Farm Zoological Park

Enter a world where prehistoric predators meet modern conservation at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, the only place on Earth where visitors can see every living species of crocodilian under one roof. Located on Anastasia Island just across the Bridge of Lions from downtown St. Augustine, this accredited zoo and internationally recognized zoological institution combines thrilling wildlife encounters with serious conservation work and groundbreaking research. Since opening in the late 19th century as a small Florida reptile exhibition, the Alligator Farm has evolved into a sophisticated 129-year-old attraction showcasing more than 125 species of animals from around the globe while maintaining its essential character as a quintessential Florida experience. The park's comprehensive crocodilian collection remains its crown jewel and primary distinction. Housing all 24 living species of alligators, crocodiles, caimans, and gharials makes the St. Augustine Alligator Farm a critical resource for scientists studying these ancient reptiles and for conservation programs working to protect threatened species. The Land of Crocodiles exhibit features massive Nile crocodiles, powerful saltwater crocodiles, rare Chinese alligators, and bizarre gharials with their distinctive elongated snouts. Each habitat is carefully designed to replicate natural environments while allowing visitors safe, up-close viewing of these magnificent predators. Educational signage throughout e
