St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park
Known For
Historic 1893 zoo with cypress-draped walkways above live alligators
St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park has been operating since 1893, and its moody atmosphere of cypress canopy and vintage infrastructure gives it a character that newer attractions simply can't manufacture. It's legitimately one of Florida's most photogenic zoological spaces.
🕐Best time to visit: Just after opening when animals are most active
Our Take
The Alligator Farm has been operating since 1893, making it one of the oldest continuously running zoological attractions in the U.S., and the free-flight aviary with nesting roseate spoonbills and wood storks directly above the alligator enclosures is a genuinely wild scene that has no equivalent. Over 11,000 ratings and a 4.7 put it firmly in the category of a St. Augustine institution that earns every bit of its reputation.
