Visitor tip
Arrive early or plan your visit around wildlife show times to secure good viewing spots for alligator feedings and other daily shows, as crowds can be substantial during peak times. Note that show times and locations may change due to weather.
Best time
Visit during the bird rookery nesting season (February-June) for an unforgettable experience watching herons, egrets, spoonbills, and storks nesting just feet away. This is one of the park's most unique highlights.
Visitor tip
The optional zip-lining Crocodile Crossing course offers a unique bird's-eye view of the enclosures and is worth considering for older children and adventure seekers. Ask about age and height requirements when purchasing tickets.
