About Crocodile Encounter

Zoo with up-close crocodile viewings. Park with crocodiles, turtles, monkeys & more, featuring up-close feeding tours & other events.

💬 What Parents Say

  • 💡Purchase animal feed (reptile/goat feed and croc/alligator food) to enhance interactivity—alligators actively swim toward you for food, making for memorable photo opportunities and closer encounters
  • 🕐Visit on weekdays, especially Mondays, to have the venue nearly to yourself with minimal crowds, allowing more peaceful observation and interaction time
  • 💡Plan for 1.5-2 hours to see the entire facility at your own pace; self-guided tours are available alongside guided options. Wear appropriate footwear as parking and pathways can be muddy
  • 💡Book the Big Croc Guided Tour for the best educational experience—tour guides provide interesting reptile information and interactive demonstrations (like animal interactions), making it ideal for both school groups and adults
  • 💡Don't miss the interactive group show at the end of your visit where you can have hands-on experiences with iguanas, snakes, and other animals; this is a highlight for visitors of all ages
