The whole family loved this place!! It was very interesting! We all loved holding an alligator. Feeding them in the swamp was really cool too. You got to be really close to them. Watching Wes feed them was awesome and he was really funny too!! Would recommend bringing buy spray and water though. Would def visit again More

This is the third time we have been to Alligator Alley. My son had his fifth birthday party there this month. The adults had just as much fun as the kids. We had 53 people in attendance and everyone said they would be back. More

Been here twice, both in February so the place was not crowded. Nice place to get some up close views of alligators. Staff is real friendly and you can tell this is a good place to bring kids or grand kids in warmer weather. For a half a days fun at under $10 per kid, you cannot go wrong. More

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, a very personable young man, was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Make sure you hook up with a guide when you visit. Some toured on their own and they missed what makes this facility interesting. Saw many huge alligators including Captain Crunch (record setter) who was having a time out... More

Checked their web site...open 7 days a week. Drove up to Summerdale only to find out the place is closed during the winter. Would have been nice if they added that to their web site. Lots of luck finding the place even when it does open.Maybe the should also put up a sign. More

I had seen the billboards for Alligator Alley every time we visited Orange Beach but we never bothered to stop because I expected to see a souvenir stand with an alligator in a cage. When someone recommended we visit Alligator Alley we were really surprised to find a very interesting and well kept habitat for hundreds of alligators. Not only... More

We drove a long ways from Mobile, AL to Gulf Shores, AL and when we finally found this attraction, it was closed "for the season". Could have been publicized better. More

Alligator Alley exceeded my expectations - it is a very well maintained facility, with helpful and knowledgeable staff. The alligators are cool to see, feed and hold. Make sure to time your visit during one of the scheduled feeding times, as this is when you get to see the best show and learn about the gators. The "swamp" is beautiful,... More
