This must be where they train the alligators for Alcatraz...

There a real Alligator Farm in St Augustine. This park is Florida's oldest continuously running attraction, having opened in 1893. It is known for housing all 24 'recognized species of crocodilians' (How can you not love that word? Try using it in a sentence some time), including alligators, crocodiles, caimans, and gavials, making it the only place in the world to see every species. 
Beyond crocodilians, the park also features other reptiles, mammals, and birds, along with various exhibits and animal performances. Notable attractions include Maximo, a 15-foot 3-inch, 1,250-pound saltwater crocodile, and opportunities for animal encounters like feeding alligators or interacting with sloths. This photo was taken there in 1926.

  1. I went there a long time ago. Interesting, and much more entertaining than I thought it would be. That being said, it's (for me) a one-off place.

  2. I have owned a beach front condo in Crescent Beach just south of St Augustine. I have never felt to need or desire to visit the Alligator Farm.

    St Augustine is a quaint little drinking town with a fishing problem.
