Definitely had so much fun going here!!! We were lucky that we were the only ones there so we kinda got a private tour of the place, saw them feed the wolves and the mountain lion. The animals seem to be very well taken care of. Joe was an amazing guide, he’s fun and entertaining and very informative!! Really recommend this place when in town!

I have to say at first I expected a kind of smelly gator farm. That was absolutely wrong, this family farm was exceptionally clean for a alligator zoo. The staff was extremely friendly and made sure we had a good time. As well as other guest that were there he made sure to keep everyone entertained. It was a very interactive tour and we got to learn alot. The kids loved every minute of it as well as the adults. They have more then just alligators, we got to interact with many animals as well as watch the guys feed the wolfs and mountain lion. We will definitely make it back and always refer this for anyone. Lots of fun and nice to know they care about their animals

Such a cute beautiful little gem in Hot Springs. Healthy critters. Beautiful gators, goats, and absolutely beautiful wolves. We were lucky to get to hear Tinkerbell howl. Cat working with the gators is very knowledgeable and friendly. She answered all of the questions that we had. We look forward to seeing them all again and seeing the puppies grow.

What made my visit so good was the staff (or most of the staff anyway minus one person). The guy working the petting area was awesome. He went out of his way to make sure everyone got to pet ALL the animals, told us the names of the animals, and really encouraged us to interact with them and have fun. The guy working inside the alligator feeding area was absolutely fantastic! He would just scoop down and pick up an alligator, hold it, and let us touch and feel while explaining different things about the alligator. I was thoroughly impressed with him! We could have had a better experience when we got to the part where you can hold the alligator and have your picture taken.I really like alligators and this was gold mine for me . Must visit if you are in hotsprings .

This was an unexpected fun little place for me and my two boys. Age 8 and 3. They got to hand feed some animals and go in a pet the goats and sheep and rabbits. Really hands on and fun for them. They even got to feed an alligator and hold one! The alligator handler was great with the kids and made it extra special and fun. Definitely worth your time to stop in if you have kiddos.

There is a reason this place has been open forever, it’s charming and fun. I know what you’re thinking Alligators?!? Charming and fun; But it is! Part of the charm is the extremely helpful and friendly staff. In addition to alligators you can hold bunnies and turtles, and feed/brush goats. Anyone is welcome to hold a mini alligator and they have an entertaining feeding show. You should go here.

Some fun for a great price. Small but big enough to enjoy yourself and to see animals you wouldnt normally see in town. The sleepy raccoons made for a laugh as they slept on their backs with legs up high in the air. Feeding the gators was a once in chance my son really enjoyed. Well worth the time and money.

Our family had an amazing time at this little gem in Hot Springs. Thank you to the staff for being extremely kind and thank you to the young lady in the alligator exhibit for sharing your amazing knowledge about alligators with us. This is a must stop and see if your in the area!

Great little gem in Arkansas. Joe was a great guide and demonstrated some of the power and nature of the alligators. Awesome up-close with the Mountain Lion. Would recommend to anyone visiting here.

I have been coming to this place since I was little. Now I can bring my kids and it is so fun. For $5 extra you can feed the smaller alligators. For another $5 today they allowed us to feed the bigger gators but from a safe distance and with a long pole. The kids really enjoyed it. The goats were hilarious and fun for the kids. There was a momma bunny with TONS of babies that my kids just died over. It was such a fun time. This family owned business seems to be doing well and Im so happy we can experience it like I did growing up.

Not sure how you couldnt rate the Alligator farm 5 stars. The facility is an easy walkthrough and well worth the $9. Try to show up on a Thursday or weekend day for feeding. Joe was our host/keeper and an absolutely amazing man, very knowledgeable and friendly. Guaranteed to have a good time!

This was 100 percent worth every penny! We spent 23 dollars to do everything here including pet, hold, and feed a baby gator! All of the animals are well taken care of and the staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly to us the entire time. You get the most hands on experience with the animals out of any petting zoo Ive ever been to. We had the best conversations with the staff and they knew the answer to practically every question we had about their animals and even things off topic. I WILL BE BACK! Thank you for making our trip great!

Very cool place to visit. They have a bunch of alligators, all ages and you can hold one! Petting zoo was fun.

Our 5 year old granddaughter had a blast! One of the place I remember enjoying many years ago.

The kids enjoyed feeding the animals and seeing the alligators. We spent a little over an hour here. Parking is free.

The staff here was truly amazing, they made sure everyone enjoyed their experience. I feel like everyone loved their jobs & took pride in what they were doing. We got to watch animal feeds & my daughter got to feed the baby alligators.

A great time! We were there for feeding time. My 3 year old grandson was enthralled!

If you want to keep your family safe from the coronavirus, this is not the place to visit. They have a sign out front saying to wear a mask, but employees and guests dont actually do it or socially distance. This trip resulted in tears and heartbreak.

It was great! We got to hold an alligator. The other animals were really cool.

Great place to visit l would say a must to visit in Hot Springs. Very knowledgeably staff very friendly. You can see here part of nature which you cant see living in big city.

Small but pretty cozy for upto 12 years old kids children can pick up and feed alligators, goats, rabbits and emus.

I had the best time here, all of the staff was amazing, best prices Ive seen for alligator heads too, Im definitely coming here again next time im in Arkansas

We had a fantastic time at this place! Joe was extremely accommodating and engaging. He put a smile on my face and the faces of my entire family. We all learned a couple of things that we did not know and were able to have close up encounters with alligators that ranged in size from small to huge. I can not recommend this place enough!

I love going here! The staff are great with the animals and were very informative. I took my brother and his wife here when they came and couldnt have been more fun!

Very educational! I highly recommend going and checking it out.

Fun place for a stop on our Hot Springs trip. Friendly staff. It took us about one hour to see the petting zoo and alligators, as well as a several more animals. Our kids had a great time feeding the alligators and even got to hold a small one!

Super cool place to visit. The staff was amazing. Thanks to Cat and Brittany for being just awesome.

This was so much fun!A fantastic family adventure!Feeding all the animals and of course holding alligators is just part of the experience.

My girlfriend and I came through here during our visit to Hot Springs and had a blast! The staff here really seemed to enjoy working there and cared about their animals. First up is a petting zoo portion with a variety of animals, including emus, rabbits, goats, and tortoises to name a few. We had been given some bread to feed to them and they all loved it! The goats tried to chew on our clothes a little bit, but nothing too bad. After passing through the petting zoo section, you go through their younger alligators section. It’s a building with a couple of tanks. They have a tank for the 2 year olds and some older ones in the main tanks. There was a large group ahead of us and the staff member working there was kind enough to give us a little bit of hotdog to feed to the two year olds while we waited for the group ahead of us to finish up. They were adorable! Ethan was kind to us and really seemed to care about the alligators. We got to hold One-Eyed Jack and take a picture with him! There are bigger enclosures outside with older alligators as well. We definitely enjoyed our experience and would go back!

My family had a wonderful afternoon here. The employees were all friendly and were so willing to answer the many questions my g babies threw at them. The animals all seemed well cared for also.

Omg...so neat to see all the animals

This place is crazy cool! It has a very reasonable entry fee, for a few bucks you can feed the Gators and they also let you hold a baby gator! The kids loved the petting zoo as well lots of bunnies and goats they can pet till there little crazy hearts are dated with furry goat love! They have wolves and a pretty scary big cougar as well. Check this place out its great!

Our 6 year old loves this place. Its really a great visit.

The Arkansas Alligator Farm is a crazy cool place to visit. My wife and I went and the place was not crowded at all. When you think of Arkansas, you would never think about reptiles, birds, big cats, and spooky critters... Well. This place has them all!You can feed the birds. They will let you hold a live alligator for a small fee.The staff is friendly and will educate you and your family.Go see this hidden gem.

Love feeding the animals. I liked the baby turtles. They were so cute!

This place is AWESOME. Pet an alligator, pet a tortoise, hold a rabbit, and feed bread to goats!! The staff working the animals were very informative and worked really well with our kids. Great job guys!!!

Awesome, up close to the animal and the the alligator experience was very cool. Great for kids, they had a ball

Omg love this place supper friendly we enjoyed holding a alligator and feeding them . Supper nice people as well

Awesome place! Go check out a feeding show!! Lots of kid activities like gator feeding, petting zoo with bunnies, goats & turtles.

The owners and staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly!!! Great place to visit!!! My parents used to take me and my sisters when we were younger, and we had the honor to take my husband(his first visit here) 3 kids and brother in law on one of our first family outings!!! Thank yall!!!

Me and my fiance had great time we got to watch the wolves and mountain lion eat the pygmy goats were a joy to be around and feed. The staff were every sociable enjoyed being there will back very soon

We had a blast! Pretty cool experience. Kids LOVED it. Owners were top notch.

VERY cool and very friendly and informative staff! We were stoked we stopped! They also had really cool souvenirs!

Awesome! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I loved seeing and holding all of the animals!

Super friendly staff who are not only knowledgeable but kind. The alligators were incredible but so was the wide variety of other animals to see. Fabulous place to visit on our vacation!

Great little place for families to come. Staff was very friendly and the price was just right. Lots of parking on the side of building.

Great family experience! Reasonably priced and doesnt take very long. Something to see!

Where else do you get to feed and hold alligators????? It was a great surprise stop. The employees were so wonderful and knowledgeable.

We had a blast at the Alligator farm. We loved petting the goats and rabbits. We got to hold a 4 alligator. They have wolves and a mountain lion, too. Sorry, no petting. The alligators are huge and impressive. Very friendly staff. Its not a huge, fancy production, but it is a lot of fun.

Went here yesterday with my boyfriend and had fun. Lots of alligators of all ages and you can feed/hold a small one for $5 it was $9 each to get in so not expensive at all. It was very interactive with a goat pen to go into and bunnies to hold and pet the babies were too young but oh sooo cute. Other exotic animals to see too. Not a big place but definitely worth visiting.

My kids had a blast this was definitely worth the stop! The employees were great!

We had a lot of fun. Very nice staff. It was well worth the time and money that we spent here.

Awesome! they let you hold the alligator, my first time. Small area, we did a quick visit just to do something while on the area. Free parking which is great. keep it up guys! thank you

Great place to take the kids. My kiddos had a blast! We will be back

This place should be shut down, the animals seemed abused and when we got there the bunnies were all in one tiny cage with no salt lick or food or water, so my family and I let them out, all of the cages were extremely small and had barely any shade and the chicken coop had absolutely no food in it. There was also a large wad of orange plastic in the bunny cage and they were chewing on it so we took it out. The dog that was running around was super skinny and then tail was super red and missing fur. The “feed the alligator thing” is also a huge scam, it was 5 dollars to feed them per person and each person only got two tiny slivers of a hot dog weeny which are cheap in general and overall it was just a sad experience to look at all the dead looking animals and it was also a huge scam and tourist trap, please do not come here.

The ppl were very nice. All cages were very clean. Grandkids had a blast

Always fun and interesting. The staff is great and have a great deal of knowledge.

The treatment of the animals here in inhumane. They have 50 alligators piled into a small enclosure, the water for the alligators is disgusting, 2 poor wolves trapped in a small cage, monkeys not in their proper habitat. Places like this is why people have problems with zoos. Absolutely disgusting... We stayed for 10 minutes and left. It broke my heart to see these poor animals suffering like that.

The owner and staff are so nice and the children get to interact with most of the animals. Its not huge but well with the admission. Ps the food for the goats and animals in the petting zoo is included in the price.

My family had a great time on our vacation to hot springs. The staff was so nice and informative. We will definitely be going back.

We visited in November which is obviously much cooler weather, but even though the alligators are indoors all of the bigger alligators were basically hibernating. I believe they stop feeding the larger gators in October. You could stare at the pool of alligators and not see a movement. The smaller gators were kept warmer so they were at least active. The coolest part of the visit was holding the small gator. We pretty much paid the price of admission to feed bread to some goats and hold a gator. Im not saying it wasnt worth it, but if you have the chance to visit when it is warm instead of cooler, I would highly recommend you do so. The staff was very nice and informative. We plan to visit again sometime in the summer.

I absolutely loved it! The stuff is very friendly and they are happy to tell you about their animals. They even allow you to hold a bigger alligator if you are not scared! Totally safe though. And yes, they have hundred of alligators and also nice, kind bunnies and goats, and so on to pet there! Its a family business and they take a really good care of their animals.

Staff was very friendly. They have two small dogs that welcome you when you come in. They are super social and love the attention lol The rabbits were very social. They let you hold and pet them (if held correctly of course.) All of the farm animals were social and well kept. The guy that holds the baby Gators was very nice to my toddler and had patience with her but he was kind of rough with the baby Gators. He used a rubberband to shut his snout and it popped the bottom of his snout. I guess when you get used to them you just do it with ease but it looked and sounded like that hurt. The cougar and wolves really need a larger habitat. The lemurs were playing and cuddling lol They were super cute. The gator snapping turtles need big rocks to hide under. The fountain (in my opinion) is not furnished or large enough. The sign says the turtles are 100 years old which I guess in captive they very well could live up to 100 but the turtles there are no way 100 yet. I do like the signs on each habitat. It would be better if their (non scientific) names were on the signs and it would be super cool if they got some snakes. It is a very small place. Someone with little animal knowledge would believe this place is horrible but its really not. Some things could be fixed and updated but I truly believe these animals are cared for. I would go back.

Very kid and family friendly.Currently masks are required due to COVID-19.There are sheep,goats,emus,rabbits,tortoises,mini donkeys,snapping turtles,alligators big,medium and small,and a few other animals.Some to pet and feed,some to just look at.Kids loved it!There are picture opportunities throughout the Farm/Zoo.You can feed the littler alligators,sheep,goats,emus,rabbits,tortoises and mini donkeys.Watch the little fingers.One of our littlest ones had an accidental injury due to an animal mistaking a hand for food.This is always a possibility with any animal.The staff was very quick to disinfect and bandage it. It is okay.You can hold and pet a baby/young gator.Highly reccomend!

We loved it . clean safe reasonable ticket cost. gift shops a bit high but most are . the staff was wonderful & helpful . bathrooms were clean !

Nice outing for the family. You can feed the alligators as well as the animals they have in their petting zoo. Better when the weather is warm as the Gators are more active but still interesting in winter.

This place doesn’t take long to visit, but it’s definitely worth the trip. The young gentleman that helped our kids feed the alligators was so patient and knowledgeable.

I dont know much about alligators but these look miserable and not very well taken care of. They dont have enough water to sit in in my opinion. The water is basically black from how dirty it is. The duck pond is just as bad. Way too many alligators for such small spaces. There certainly shouldnt be a cougar or a wolf here. The whole place is worse then the tiger King place. I wasnt impressed with that one either. Id give zero stars if I could.

We loved this place!!! Its a small farm but it was great. They had an area where you could feed goats, sheep, donkeys for free with the cost of getting in. For a little extra you can feed the young gators which are so cute. You even get to hold one. The staff is so friendly and dont mind answering all the questions your kids have. My kids still talk about this place.

Great place to visit. Cat was amazing showing us everything and giving tid bits of information

It was an amazing experience being there with very helpful people happy to talk to you. One of the alligator feeders was nice to talk about their habits and even gave me some baby alligator teeth.

It was a nice little place. Very friendly and courteous owners. Super helpful and informative. It was fun for the kids but very small.

Best place to visit if youre in hot springs. the hosts there are super educated and helpful, and make sure you have a nice time. you can feed emus, goats, and sheep, hold bunnies, and hold alligators! you can also see many animals after youre done with the alligators.

Nice stop for the kids to feed and pet animals. Staff was extremely friendly and knowledgable. Family photo opportunities, furry animals to pet, plenty of fun.

Could be cleaner. Some of the pens ....the wolf and cougar seem incredibly small. The animals need some stimulation and happiness! No shade for the donkeys. Yes I am an animal lover.

Was cool. Son fed Alligator and we got to hold one too.

This was my husbands and my 2 time here. Our grandchildren enjoyed it eminencly.

A lot of alligators and feeding them was cool. JJ was a good guide and very informative.

Great place for a quick fun. You get to hold the alligator but small one and feeding part is just okay

It was cool. Fun family experience

Great place to interact with animals that you may fear. You can actually hold an Alligator.

Fun petting zoo. Kids can feed bread to donkeys and goats. You can go inside the goat enclosure. Theyll let you hold an alligator. They also have rabbits, turtles, birds, wolves and a cougar. The staff was very informative. They seemed to really care about the animals and all the animals looked healthy and happy.

Fun experience with some friendly animals. I never knew Alligators felt so soft yet leathery! Watch out for the Emus though. Theyre tricky birds.

Great little petting zoo and they will let you hold and feed the smaller gators. Good stop for the kids!

Nice petting zoo, and very friendly staff. Kids really loved it.

It wasnt as cool as it was hyped up to be. Lots of alligators, for sure. Saw pens for mountain lion and monkeys but didnt see the animals. The rabbit was the highlight of my trip there - he was THE COOLEST and came right up for snuggles. I wish I could have brought him home!

I dont know.... Am to scared to go....lol

Yes its small but well worth it. Inexpensive and super informative. The guys that run this place were so nice and the gator talk was very interesting. There are lots of gators of all different sizes to see and some animals to pet.

Im Originally from Texas and i came to Arkansas, Hot Springs for a summer vacation and this has to be by far one of the best petting farms Ive been to. It also has a nice little gift shop and the staff was super friendly i truly reccomend coming to this place and checking it out!!

We had a blast & the guys taking care of the animals were very knowledgeable! They even let our older boys carry 2 smaller alligators!

Took my son there last weekend. He had so much fun!

Nice place to spend half a day. You can feed and touch a crocodile!!!

Been many times now, and its always a joyful learning experience. All employees make you feel welcome, with the exception of one. Beware that particular one begs for tips and gets snappy with you. But I will say dont let her ruin this awesome experience for you and your families.

I visited all employees were nice.the animals were well taking care pf

Awesome place for the family! Visited my brother and his family in LittleRock, and this was a great way to spend our afternoon.

Super friendly people had an amazing time

This place was really awesome! Super friendly staff and an overall great experience. I highly recommended going, especially if you have kids. The feed the Gators on Thursday, Saturday and Sundays at noon. Try and plan your trip around those times. Also the kids can feed the baby gators for $5!

So many gators!!! Super cute little place. Gators range from babies to 65 years old! Theres also wolves, allagator snapping turtles, pigmy goats and a bit more. Feeding the 6yr old gators was awesome! Spent about 30-45 minutes there. The entry fee and feeding price is very low/generous/more than fair in my opinion. Be sure to tip :)

Everyone was so nice and the animals look like they are well taken care of!!

Super cool place. Knowledgeable staff. Best $9 Ive spent this vacation.
