Great place to visit with a family. This a great place to view birds, feed alligators, and feed the tortoises. Small education classes for the little ones are very informative. Even adults without kids should make this visit when in South Padre. We will be back!

The alligator's and birds were very cool getting to hold a snake and an alligator then catch one in water was very cool for 10 bucks only 15 for adults and 5 for kids with an adventure pack (which lets you hold the animals) for 10 bucks a person paid 45 for 5 people (4 with adventure pack) and got all my moneys worth

I always have a great experience here! Staff is friendly. Everything is well maintained. You can upgrade your admission to hold a Juvenile Gator and non venomous snake. I go for the birding, but everything else is great for families or individuals to come explore. I love seeing the Tortoise, Big Padre and was my first time exploring the interior. Last time I went it was $12 I believe and as of 6/29 it was $15 for adults. But I believe its worth it to continue keeping this wonderful place here!

This is an inexpensive and fun place to go. We did the alligator talk and the snake talk. Our speaker was funny and very informative. Lot’s of alligators and snakes to see in their exhibits. Definitely pay the $10 to hold an alligator and a snake. The views of the water are beautiful too with lots of birds, ducks, fish and crabs to see. My 13 year old is still talking about how much fun she had here.

Really cool place, loved big Padre. Just wish you didn't need a separate band for the adventure experience to hold an alligator. Seemed a little excessive.

Great place to check out. Staff was very knowledgeable. It's a must to get the adventure package if you want to hold alligator. Family had a great time will go back.
