Entrance to the Alligator Farm in St Augustine
Every crocodile and alligator species at the Alligator Farm is nocturnal. Because the reptiles are most active at night, there are Zoo Night programs for kids and adults. A “Parent’s Night Out” program lets parents drop off kids from 6 pm to 10 pm for an evening of pizza, zoo tours, animal presentations, and games. Creatures of the Night is a Halloween event for kids ages 2 to 11. Adults and families can also experience Moonlight Safari, an educational evening guided trip.
