St. Augustine Alligator Farm
 If you love animals and learning
about wildlife then the St. Augustine
Alligator Farm is one of the
St
Augustine Florida Attractions that you
must see! This zoological
park features tons of great exhibits and
is home to a great rookery. Visit
the St. Augustine Alligator Farm
Zoological Park and you will get to see
more than 20 species of crocodilians,
tons of different kinds of reptiles, a
few mammals and lots of beautiful,
exotic birds. We’re sure after visiting
the Alligator Farm St. Augustine you
will leave with plenty of pictures, tons
of knowledge and even a crocodile smile!
The most impressive and shocking exhibit
at the Alligator Farm St. Augustine is
the new Komodo Dragon exhibit. Home to
numerous Komodo dragons and a Double-Wattled
Cassowary, one of the world’s fastest
non-flying birds, this fascinating
exhibit was part of a large renovation
and expansion project that the St.
Augustine Alligator Farm underwent only
a few short years ago. The Cassowary is
a peculiar species; known for its
agility and speed on the ground, the
cassowary is a strong bird that has been
known to attack when provoked - which
leads to its reputation as a dangerous
bird. Many people enjoy watching the
Cassowary walk about the reptiles in its
natural habitat.
In addition to the reptile exhibits, the
St. Augustine Alligator Farm is an
Attraction in St Augustine that also has
a bird rookery. The spring is the best
time to visit the rookery at the
Alligator Farm St. Augustine; this is
the time in which the wading birds come
to nest above the alligators and
crocodiles. Herons, egrets, ibis,
spoonbills, and wood storks all breed
and raise families in the wading bird
rookery inside the St. Augustine
Alligator Farm. Visit in the late spring
and early summer to see nesting and
small baby birds. In addition to the
wading birds, the St. Augustine
Alligator Farm Zoological Park also has
a really neat African bird exhibit which
houses large birds like griffon and
hooded vultures, marabou storks, and
cranes. Also, if you can get past the
meal itself, the vulture feeding show is
something interesting to watch. Again,
this show is not for everyone. There are
other wildlife shows every hour at the
Alligator Farm St. Augustine.
Visit the St. Augustine Alligator Farm
Zoological Park and see Gomek, an 18
foot long, 2,000 pound crocodile that
the zoo had taxidermied; Gomek is the
largest crocodile ever on display. Also,
the zoo has plans to debut a new exhibit
which houses a 21 foot long python! To
see all that slithers and soars stop by
the Alligator Farm in St Augustine FL.
