Insta-Gator Ranch & Hatchery - Covington (LA)

5 /5 Saleh Babazadeh: This place creates such a unique experience for all ages. You will learn how they preserve the alligator population in Louisiana by hatching the eggs and freeing them to the wild. You can buy alligator leather handmade items.

5 /5 Shailee Curin: Definately worth taking the drive out to take this tour if youre near Baton Rouge or New Orleans & checking out this site! This little Gator ranch is set on a quaint little farm and houses hundreds of gators of all sizes. The tour guide is super funny, helpful and gives a fablous mini education all about the American Alligator. You get to pet a couple little gators (safely), and walk through an enclosed gator barn! The gators are all pretty content and well cared for. They also have a gift shop where you can get a drink, buy yourself a gator tooth necklace or leather wallet, or even buy some gator meat! The experience was so much fun and my kids loved it! Worth it!

5 /5 Lee Sutton: Fun and educational tour. The staff are all very engaging and you can tell they love their jobs. Not too far off the beaten path, well worth the short drive to spend an hour or so learning about an iconic native species and getting closely acquainted without losing a hand. Amusing and fun for the entire family. Heres the biggest caveat, a majority of the "tour" is an educational presentation. The guides keep it engaging and entertaining but for anyone with a short attention span, keep in mind most of it is sitting and listening.

5 /5 Lora Lopez: Our tour guide Royce was funny and gave a lot of information. Would definitely go back. Get the extra packages its worth it.
