We had an amazing time at Orange Hill Gator Farm. Chris was an excellent host and we got to meet all the wonderful animals on the farm.Feeding and holding a baby alligator was a highlight for me. We highly recommend meeting Chris and touring Orange Hill Gator Farm!

This place is amazing, Mr.Chris and all his staff are so knowledgeable and the animals are in a happy environment. Not only is this place an awesome learning experience they go above and beyond for that hands on experience. Oh and they offer birthday parties which are probably one of our favorite things to attend because you still get the animal experience but there is a water slide!!

The best activity we did ! They were very friendly and great with our kids. It’s a private tour. We got to see and feed, baby and big gators. Also got to feed bunnies, coyotes, pigs, and goats . Well worth the money . My kids are still talking about it days later! We will definitely be back.

We had a fantastic personalized tour at Orange Hill Gator Farm. We did a day trip from Panama City Beach, Fl. We saw and fed gators from 1 yr old to huuugge! All the time we were very safe. The baby goats were a hit with our youngest. In addition we saw a friendly buck, rabbits, iguana, tortoises, some sort of pigs, and I am probably forgetting some. Our guide made sure we were comfortable and most importantly, safe! They only do 1 group a day and it is so great. I highly recommend!

An unforgettable experience!
We have been to other gator farms but have never had the opportunity to this get close to the alligators!
We learned so much from Chris Ellis,the owner and his assistant about about their life from birth to full maturity. The majority of alligators have been raised their from birth but some are there because they have been considered a nuisance gator.
A new a/c party room with indoor bathroom were added this year as well as some fun furry animals that guests can feed.
Plenty of parking space available.
Last year my homeschool group attended on two separate tours! This was the highest rated field trip and we are already scheduled for another homeschool trip in September!
Excellent value for the intimate tour and kind approach to alligators!

This is the most amazing place for a kids birthday party. The staff are very knowledgeable and patient with the kids. My son (and everyone else) had the best time handling and feeding the gators. There are other animals to feed and observe too. There were two water slides to play and cool down after the tour and an air conditioned building for cake and ice cream. Everything was perfect!! I highly recommend this place!

This was our first visit to Orange Hill Gator Farm. It was such a great experience and Chris was so friendly. My daughter was in heaven from the minute we got there and we would love to go back. Feeding the gators and the other animals was so cool and watching Chris feed the biggest one was awesome. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone visiting near the area.

Went on a tour here with my family of 5. Everyone loved it! It was very informative and interesting. You get to see the Alligators starting from 1 yr olds to full grown .
Chris the owner even takes you over to their natural habitat where you are allowed to feed them while he makes sure you are safe.
Honestly if you have the time for a 2.5 / 3 hr tour , this is well worth the 200 for a whole family to experience.
Go!!!!

This was an experience of a lifetime! We learned all about alligators and visited with many other animals. The animals are all well cared for and loved. Chris was an amazing guide! I highly recommend.

My husband and I took a trip to Florida for our honeymoon and we are quite adventurous and have love for nature and animals itself. This place caught our attention at random during our search of things to do...and I couldnt have been more happy that we decided to do this tour. Not only was it a private tour but Chris like more of a family friend so it felt very homelike. There was no awkward moments and Chris was extremely knowledgeable and informed us everything we would ever need to know. Never once a dull moment during the tour. Even though we did not have our kids with us... this tour would blow the kiddos out of the water with excitement. So regardless of if you have kids or not...this tour is guaranteed to be a hit! Cant wait to come back already. P.s we got lucky with a last minute booking, however I would book a month in advance to be safe! Cant Express enough how amazing this was. If you are debating...my advice from experience is to DO IT. MAKE THE CALL. SET THE TOUR. Keep this gator farm going!
