St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park
St. Augustine Alligator Farm
A long-established zoo founded in 1893 that holds every species of crocodilian. The bird nesting area is a photography hotspot in spring.
This is the only zoo in the world that displays all crocodilian species. Its star attraction is the albino alligator. Visitors can also watch a crocodile feeding show and ride the treetop zipline. Each spring and summer, the wetlands on the grounds attract large numbers of wild egrets, wood storks and roseate spoonbills that nest here, and the close distances make it good for bird photography. Tickets cost about $33. The zoo is next to the lighthouse, so the two can be visited together.
