Gator Country Louisiana Alligator Park, Natchitoches

Stopped here on an 8+ hour road trip. Saw it on Google maps, asked the kids if they wanted to hold an alligator and they screamed yes! We had the BEST time. We live in the desert so we obviously don't have gators. The whole family enjoyed this experience. There was so much to see and do and the very kind and friendly owner said they had plans for more exhibits and things to do, maybe even a splash pad some day. The staff was extremely friendly and kind. They offered to take animals out to let my kids hold with no hesitation. Plan this stop into your travels, you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic stop that is worth the detour. A short 1 hr south of Shreveport / Bossier, this is a fantastic place to spend a few hours. Reasonable pricing, great experience seeing the variety of animals. Alligators, Snakes, lizards, Guinea Pigs, turkeys, Emu, rabbits, tortoise, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, deer, (I’m sure there are a few more I missed). For a family of 4 expect to spend about $50-$60 and have a good time with the kids.
