Went on a whim one day. It was really good. There were so many alligators...in all stages of life from babies to mature. The facility has educational programs every hour or so. I was able to rub the belly of an alligator during one. On top of alligators, they have crocodiles, tigers, turtles, birds, snakes, bats, lemurs, reptiles and more.... More

My husband loves this place. We have to visit it every time we come to Myrtle Beach. It is such a great place to take the family. There is so much to see here it is great. We love everything here. The tigers are awesome. Seeing the Marmosets this year was a nice addition as well as the bats. We... More

If you visit the area with children I recommend this place over Ripleys Aquarium. More experience for the money More

You will not truly understand this place until you see it for yourself. This place is simply amazing with hundreds of gators of various types. In addition to gators, they have snakes, bears and other exotic animals making the trip well worth the money especially if you take the time to visit the interactive shows and gator feeding. It was... More

This was a great idea. If you are on the fence and not sure if you should go..... You Should! The price was very reasonable and you can come back the next day for free. If you have children 3 and under they are free!!! There was something to see everywhere you looked. We could not believe how big the... More

The staff was very friendly. You get a second entrance for free with 7 days. Stick around for the alligator feeding and you can pet some of the reptiles too. My son really enjoyed it, even though it was raining. We will go back! More

Ok, I am biased. Totally fascinated with gators, crocs, and other reptiles. But the park is well laid out, the signage is informative, the pricing is reasonable, the animals seem to be well cared for, and it is entertaining. If you are in the area and have an interest in these creatures, you won't be disappointed. If they aren't your... More

Besdies the 100's of alligators that everyone else's review has focused on, I though the reptile house was well done - informative display signs about each snake, and lots of very BIG snakes at that. As other reviewer have noted, it's a nice place for a several hour visit, well laid out for walking all around. They give a discount... More
