We had an awesome time. It’s a tour around the place and they give good explanations on the animals there. Recommend it a lot if you have kids. At the end they let you hold an alligator and a snake.

We took our 4 year olds here today and we allEnjoyed our time. We did a tour with a small group of people and it was about 2 hours long. We were able to see lots of animals like crocodiles, alligators, a snake, pigs, kangaroos etc... Some of the animals you are able to feed. I recommend this place!

Excellent guided tour by Jade and really interactive and fun. You can buy food for turtles and alligators for a low price and its really great for kids. Right down the road from Sugar Land and Missouri City, its a great place to go for a family.

Brilliant place for a birthday party. The staff are very enthusiastic and quite brave! Youll get up close to alligators and crocodiles, as well as other animals.

Great place and friendly staff. Very educational on types of crocodiles and alligators, as well as many other animals. Very cool during feeding time

Cool place. The long tour is worth it. Be sure to buy veggies for the pigs goats and turtles. Good place to bring the kids. Lots of crocodiles to see. They are expanding and adding cool new attractions.

Great experience seeing the crocodiles. Go early morning before it gets busy. Take your kids, its a good distraction.

This is a great place to bring kids. You get to experience alligators, crocodiles, orinocos, and other animals like goats, kangaroos, and lemurs.Don’t miss the tour option. It’s a great way to see them snappers (teeth)! The educational experience is worth it.

Great place, informative employees who work week with the animals and love what they do. Definitely worth the money!

This place always delivers. Ive been here multiple times and Im always surprised when I see these magnificent animals close up. The tour guides are knowledgeable and friendly and the trip out there is really worth it.

Just had the best birthday party for my grandson’s 5th birthday! The facility is far more than I expected and the tour was exceptional! Staff was very patient, great in knowledge and explaining the animals to everyone! Even the adults enjoyed themselves! Thank you helping in making this birthday the most memorable one yet!

This place is awesome, took my son today and we had a blast!! Highly recommend, will be returning soon!!

Absolutely love this place. We’ve made 5 or 6 trips out here and every time is a new exciting experience!!! Everyone needs to try this place at least 1 time, perfect for all ages, so informative and some really good live feeding action.

Such a fun and educational place! My family and I went and had the best time! The young man at the front was so sweet and went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience possible. We will definitely be back!

This place is awesome! Lots of interesting animals and you can get really close to most of them. Staff was very friendly and whether you do the self guided tour or the guided one, youll have a good time. Feeding the animals is super awesome, and Im not sure what was more fun...feeding the tortoises, the Gators, or the bongos, but it was all awesome! Theres plenty of free parking and the gator decor/signs are cool and funny too...all part of a great overall experience. Keep up the good work Croc Encounter, you rock!

I took my husband here for his birthday and it was Awesome, I highly recommend this place. The staff was very nice and very educated on their animals, will definitely be going back.

This is a pretty cool place! Definitely worth doing the tour since you get to see the guides feed the animals throughout the tour. Also there is a few buildings you cannot go into without the tour guide. You can buy celery as you enter for $5 so you can feed the various other animals there as well. I recommend that as it is very fun especially for the kids. Also make sure you go on a warm day if going on the winter as the crocodiles and alligators will be more active. Call ahead and talk to any of the employees to ensure it will be a good day to visit.

Staff are super friendly. The kid at the front desk was helpful. Also, all three tpur guides seemed knowledgeable and were awesome.

We had a great time at Crocodile Encounters. We did the self guided tour with my cousin Lee Green that has been there about 15 times. We went early and the animals were ready to eat. Very fun experience. I would go again next time Im in town.

This place is awesome. The owner was nice enough to give my son a bag of carrots to feed the animals after I was reluctant to do so but he didn’t want my son to experience the park without feeding the animals. We were in awe the whole time there. Really recommend the self guided tour. There is a whole grass area with tortoises that you can go in and feed them that we really enjoyed, it’s a bit muddy so just be careful. The best part by far was getting to hold the baby gator, my son was so happy.

This is a nice place for a school field trip. The students were able to safely get up close to crocodiles. They have a varied collection of reptiles and other animals. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Wear comfortable shoes and pack a lunch. The students loved it!

Pretty fun, educational and healthy but of walking.Try to keep your kids in line when youre there, just about everything in the place can take bits off of them.Some of these pictures were taken with lenses that make it appear the camera was in the cage with the animals. It was not. Please dont stick your hand in an enclosure to get a close-up shot of an angry superpredator.

Really cool experience. Very educational. Would definitely recommend! See yall again soon, my 3 year old loved it

It was a good experience that we had today. A way better than going to zoo. You will feel yourself inside the nature. They are doing really good job that sheltering many endangered species. There are no only crodociles. Once you get there you will see wild boars, kangaroos, goats, alligators you will even touch baby snakes and crocodiles.

That place is amazing. My son loves it. We cant wait to go back.

A fun experience and quick getaway for the kiddos. We did the tour. There are a bunch of different wild animals to see and learn about. You can watch them get fed, learn about their daily routines, feed some and even hold a baby crocodile.

A sleeper of an amazing experience for the entire family! Extremely personalized tour with knowledgeable and friendly staff. Wide range of extremely well cared animals and it shows. They don’t do a lot of advertising but I promise it is worth the trip. My 13 yr old son is tough to please, and he left with a grin plastered across his face

The kids really enjoyed feeding the turtles.

Niche facility that is truly fantastic. Incredible jungle feel surrounded by crocodiles from around the world. A must see.

We spent two hours walking around and seeing everything to offer. Even had a mild heart jolt when a grass snake zipped across the walkway in front of me but we were in his territory, not the other way around. It was a great experience and definitely want to go back and go on a guided tour to see and learn more. Highly recommend to everyone to go and enjoy it!

Places was great. It was small but the experience was big. Very easy-going staff. Overall wonderful place to take the family.

My son and I enjoyed our first visit. Friendly staff and a great number of different species to see.

This is a must do attraction if you are in the area. Outside of Brazos Bend state park, this is the most intimate you can get with crocodiles and alligators. Here, you get the bonus of a knowledgeable staff that loves what they do.

You get to see crocodiles and alligators up close. The handlers go in and feed them. Really cool to see. They also have kangaroos, giant tortoises, Nigerian goats, and lemurs. Small place but worth the money to me.

Ok I love alligators & Crocodiles! So this place was a five star for sure! Great family fun daytime hours, night time hours once a month.The price is great ! What this family has done with their home to help these animals is amazing. They also have turtles, pigs, lemurs, kangaroo, birds and many many alligators and crocs. Staff was very informative and friendly. You can buy food fir the animals to feed them in feeding zones. Shows were great and very informative. Snack stand for drinks and pizza and hot dogs. Staff loves these animals as they all have unique names. Great place for first timers and you will want to return. Only issue I saw was restrooms were outside the facility in the parking lot but it’s a very short walk.

Experience was AWESOME! 4 stars because the bathrooms left A LOT to be desired. REALLY gross! Tour guides, exhibits and rest of the day was great! Highly recommend going to see the creatures!

It was our 4th visit. Its always amazing even in the heat!

Fantastic and well kept facility, it feels like you’re walking in one huge enclosure. All of the animals are kept in the best possible environments, and the staff is obviously very passionate. I had a great experience, it is definitely the closest you’ll be able to safely get with crocodilians.

So! Many! Amazing! Friendlies! This was a surprise visit for me and I was in awe at how large the property actually was once we entered. What a beautiful piece of land to share with gorgeous creatures, big and small. Tortoises were a highlight as you can enter their section to feed and lounge with them. Goats, lemurs, kangaroos, and of course, crocodiles were among the many babes spotted. The tour was great and you can tell the animals are very well cared for.

Awesome place with great tour guides! Very entertaining and fun! Definitely recommend!

Absolutely love this gem in lower Brazoria County! Excellent and immersive place to take the whole family! Feed giant tortoises and gators while touring the park at your own leisure or take a guided and educational tour with one of the many knowledgeable and energetic staff members. You can tell that the staff love what they do and believe in their mission to preserve and educate! It’s a must visit place! Parking is limited but don’t worry there is plenty of space in the park!Bonus: You can bring in your own food and drink to make a day of it!

Loved this place. We took a guided tour and was was worth it. We bought alligator food and carrots for the tortoise from there and kids had fun feeding them. Would definitely recommend visiting here with or without kids.

Always a great experience. I heard they were getting ostriches next. We did the night tour and got to see the shine of the crocodile eyes. Great time. Very knowledgeable tour guide!

Friendly staff. I didnt actually go on tour as I brought over a school of students. Obviously the place is fantastic bc the parking lot was packed! It was quite a ride for kids antsy to get to destination. I think for the tours and amount of people, only thing Id try to expand on is the parking area to accommodate more cars/buses.

This place is a hidden gem. The animals are well cared for and the staff is so friendly and helpful. We went on the self guided tour but I will definitely be back with my family for the guided tour so we can see the Gators eat. Highly recommend!

I had read the reviews before going on this field trip with a school and it seemed to depend on what time you got there whether you got to see much. We were there at the wrong time. The gators and crocs were not in a performing kinda mood. They were not interested on the chicken on a stick being offered so it was a lot of staring at them in the water which you can do in most suburban neighborhoods around here. Only one of the 4 guides we had was engaging and interesting. I wouldnt spend that much money for what we saw.

Pulling into this place I was a little skeptical -- not too crowded nor many cars and the introduction area/gift store is a small hut, fairly bare bones. The tour guide was wonderful from the get go: fairly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Unfortunately as the tour started we couldnt find any crocodiles around -- cold weather is essentially what keeps these guys hidden apparently. Further, the tortoises werent hungry at all, but Im not sure if thats due to the cold or if they had eaten already. But from there on out we saw plenty of creatures. The goats and pigs and some other guys were quite friendly and hungry -- so, if youre worried you wont be able to use the feed for the alligators/tortoises in the beginning, youll have many chances later. Next time I hope to visit in warmer weather, though, so that the animals are more active and hopefully hungrier!

Great guides, amazing animals, awesome enclosures. Highly recommended

It was an awesome experience friendly staff

Such an awesome experience! Personally, Ive been scared of gators my whole life, so this was definitely a challenge for me. They have several hours for tours during your visit, I went on a Saturday and it was not crowded at all, you can buy food to feed the animals. Get ready to take cool pictures my favorite part of the tour was the turtles!! Very educational, I felt better about my fear, and my kids loved it!!

Fun place. Great, friendly, staff.

This place was incredible! We got to watch the crocodiles and alligators eat. We saw snakes, lemurs, goats, kangaroos and so much more than just alligators. 10/10 would recommend

Hands down a great business and the best owner customer relations. Chris was kind enough to show my children around and let them see the feeding. He made my son feel super special for his brithday and gave us his undivided attention. We have always enjoyed our visits but this time Chris made it much more special. The reptiles and animals are well cared for and the staff are courteous and knowledgeable of their animals. I am thankful for such a great place to learn about these magnificent creatures.

Very few places make your jaw drop if your an animal lover and visit many zoo type spots. This place is an exception. I was in awe almost the entire time I was there. Im a alligator/croc fan and I have never seen a place like this in terms of large natural enclosures coupled with the species they have on display. Just an incredible unique experience.

Great place to spend the day with your family. Would love to go back in the cooler months to stay longer. Thanks Crocodile Encounter!!

If you are ever in the Houston area this a must do!! The staff was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The animals are absolutely stunning!!

Great day, friendly staff. Always enjoying coming here.

Friendly, informative, and they have some great exhibits great for kids.

Some animals were not out due to heat, but the Crocs did not disappoint. Kids love it. Fun day.

Great place... Kids loved it ... They have some really interesting Alligators & Crocodiles...

Beautiful Habitat and great staff. Was greeted by the owner himself and a very handson approach which my family and myself enjoyed. Hidden gem. Must do for anybody especially if you have a family especially during these times. Small tours which we enjoyed.

Awesome experience!! My great-niece loved it!!! The guided tour was the best - I highly recommend it!! There is even a little snack shack so u can get a bite to eat while there!!

This place is awesome!! Animals are super cool and most of them you can pet and feed- and they enjoy it. Tortoises, kangaroo, pigs are soooooo friendly . Guides are awesome!!! And they also let you have ice cold water and some snacks for free- it’s included in the tour ticket. Don’t remember anything like that for a long time!!! Go there today- you will love it

What an INCREDIBLE place, well worth the drive... you will not be disappointed by the tour WoW

It was a pretty nice experience. The tour guides where very helpful. It was our first time doing something like this so ita hard to compare to anything else like it. But the snack area couls have been a little better. The girl that was suppoaed to be helping us with the snacks had a bit of bad attitude with my child.Also, there needs to be better fans in the aitting areas. That would greatly improve the experience if there was a fanned, shaded area to stop and have snacks and a cold drink with the kids in the middle of the experience.Easy to find.Parking is fine. Bathrooms are in the parking lot so go before you go in to keep from getting the kids all excited and having to take them back out to the car and then back in.Warn your child that when you near the croc area the gating is wide enough that it is dangerous for kids to stand too close too the gate.Cost is a little high for what it is. It was about $40 for an adult and child.The gift store is actually priced fine for what they have. Not outrageous like most.

It was a great experience the tour guides was awesome....I would go back again

Kids has a blast. Took the guided tour which was fun and educational.

Great gator feeding show and wildlife information. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Great, interactive experience. Guided tours are definitely worth it!

Great experience. The guided tour with the opportunity to pet and learn about the animals was exceptional.

Super neat and small enough to walk pretty quickly. I went with my 5 month old and it was a bit nerve racking, but certainly worth a visit or two. The animals are all active. My nephew threw some carrots into the water when we couldn’t see any crocodiles, and it was scary how quickly they all came out of the water and went after the carrot. Very neat place.

Great experience with awesome tour guides.

Perfectly unique experience. We loved it and look forward to returning. Realy impressive group of animals.

Take the tour! Young and old will love it and learn so much

Awesome place, staff is helpful and knowledgeable and it was great being able to feed the animals. At the end of the tour youre given the opportunity to hold a small alligator which was a cool experience. They also have a section were you can get up close and feed tortoises.

All animals are visible and active. You can feed animals

Went here with my 1st graders field trip. I was early so parking was easy, most people ended up parking on the street (not a big deal). Staff was friendly, kids had fun and learned a lot. I mildly enjoyed it. We were there first thing in the morning so the alligators and crocodiles were not as active, later in the morning or earlier on a warmer day theyd be more active.We bought some food to feed to the alligators, worth it for the few dollars which it cost.

Awesome place, had a great time! Employees were super cool!

Nice place to take your children. Fun and educational. Very casual and family friendly. Turtles and monkeys and kangaroos and African animals too.

The place is somewhat small. They have guides that speak at different areas throughout the encounter. The women were not very good with children. Their tone of voice was not warranted and displeasing. It is important to understand that most of the visitors are children and while they will need redirection, word choice, facial expressions and non verbal gestures are important. The male tour guides were great and a pleasure. One even needed to redirect the children ( the one that is going to be a teacher) but did so in a proper way. I liked the show at the end with Casanova and the snake.

We went and were there for about an 1 hour and we didnt exactly like it!The walk ways were falling apart and there was not very many things to see and there was not very many things to do! We only saw a few things that were interesting!

Very excited to have found this Texas Gem! I think its pretty cool how this guy have turned his lifestyle into an open house for locals and tourist like myself. I will say no need to go all dressed up. Wear something relaxing and dont think about putting on your best shoes! Other than that enjoy the tour. The ladies were very nice and knew a lot about the Gators and Crocs! Smiley was my favorite! I also enjoyed the feedings as well! The tortoises were HUGE! There was a birthday party going on while I was there. So if you or your little one is into wildlife nice place to check in to. Oh cant forget about the miniature pigs they were so adorable.

So cool ...love this so fun..

Kids love the place. Mine goes to camp here each year ...great place to learn, have some responsibility a d get out of the house. Would encourage everyone to go.

We have had the opportunity to get to know this place thanks to a school trip.If I could define this place and the people who work here with a single word, I would say: Extraordinary.First of all, we would like to thank the young ladies: Jayde, Carlie and Shelby who are an exceptional team and above all very brave women.They have shared their knowledge through a guided tour that was full of fun jokes and interactive moments with the animals, which caused us many smiles and made us have one of the most educational and enjoyable days of our school history. The rest of the staff are extremely helpful and attentive. Everyone is very well trained to work with small children and with curious parents who want to learn together with their children (thats a plus, considering past experiences in other places where employees are not child-friendly).The security measures are excellent, I personally was afraid when parents have mentioned to me that this place contains more than 30 different species of alligators and crocodiles, but nevertheless, we all could enjoy enormously a place very well maintained, clean and with the best measures of security, so at the same time you can witness the natural beauty of reptiles.Surprisingly you will not only find crocodiles and alligators, the property also has giant tortoises that are outdoors waiting for you to give them a snack (snacks to feed the crocodiles, lizards and turtles are for sale at the main entrance for a decent cheap price ).Lemurs, kangaroos, piglets, snakes (non-venoms), iguanas, chameleons, antelopes as well as a wide variety of reptiles are available on the property for your convenience.

This was one of the best field trips I have been on. The adults and the children loved it! The crocs and alligators were very cool. The goats, eland, lemur, tortoise, and pot bellied pigs were so cute!! The pot bellied pigs just had babies! I loved how organized the field trip was and the people working here were very knowledgeable and good with the kids! I look forward to coming back again.

Great fun! Kids loved feeding the alligators and tortoises.

Unfortunately because of he hurricane and flooding its not as big and nice as it used to be but animals they do have are great and the staff is so friendly

Great place to see crocodiles, alligators, tortoises and other wild animals up close. You can feed them as well.The Lemurs are adorable. You get to interact with a Boa Constrictor. Definitely a place for the kids as well.

The tour has great wildlife interaction with guides. The welcome center is nice but an odor.

Awesome Experience! Since it was a bit colder than usual I feel like we missed out a bit but the lady giving the tour was awesome! Love seeing gators up close! Highly recommend it, unique experience!!

Its south of Houston and worthwhile for a safe and uoclose encounter of some endangered crocodiles and even the albino alligator that retired from the zoi.The tour cost helps care for all the animals,and of course the lovely tour guides. The education on crocodile vs alligator is neat. Youll also get to see some other foreign animals and even feed them if you bought feed or carrots. It was very neat for our kids to go,see,and interact!

This place is a gem! Driving up it doesnt look like much, but dont let that fool you. Kids and adults both had tons of fun!

Great place to take kids or a great place just to visit in general. Its affordable and tons of fun to see all the animals they have. I loved feeding the tortoises on the lawn and feeding the pigs as well. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable about the animals. Will come back some time.

Really cool place. Feeding the tortoises was neat. Great for kids.

We liked it alot we will definitely go back

This place was so wonderful! Took our 3rd graders for a field trip, they loved it!

Awesome educational experience for the family! We all enjoyed our time there, will be back soon.

This place was so much fun and offers a lot of exciting experiences for kids and adults. We participated in the feeding tour that allowed for some pretty up close encounters with alligators and crocodiles of varying sizes—some were huge. Gators and crocs are not the only critters at this zoo. Come prepared to see tortoises, pigs, lemurs, kangaroos, and more. We purchased a bag of carrots for $5 to feed the tortoises which was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed this low key zoo and would recommend it.

Great afternoon with the kids! A lot of animals, the guides are friendly and demonstrate respect to the animals... worth the tour
