On November 8th, as part of of Whiskey, Wine and Wildlife, guests will be treated to a private, guided behind-the-scenes tour of the St. Augustine Alligator Farm, followed by a private wine and cheese reception.
As part of the experience, guests receive special access to several exhibits including the impressive 15-foot 3 inch, 1,250-pound “Maximo”, the largest animal at The St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park. This saltwater crocodile, or “Saltie” as his species is called in Australia is one of the more than 800 alligators and crocodiles that call the Alligator Farm home.
The tour also includes the “Rookery”, where native herons, egrets, spoonbills, and wood storks seek the security of the Alligator Swamp to roost and raise their young. With hundreds of alligators swimming beneath the oak branches, the birds know their young are safe from tree-climbing predators. The Farm’s wooden walkway allows for incredibly intimate views of Florida’s magnificent wading birds on their nests.
To top off this Whiskey, Wine and Wildlife event, guests will finish up their experience with a private Wine & Cheese Reception.
Guests are welcome to enjoy more of the Alligator Farm after the tour and Wine & Cheese Reception. Plan your visit and everything you may want to see from the Alligator Farm’s website while you’re there!
