The Alligator Farm is a pretty cool place. It is in Natchitoches which is where Steel Magnolias was filmed. I was in high school and at band camp in Natchitoches when it was being filmed - yes, I know it is hard to believe I was a band geek! Anyway, if you have ever seen the movie, rest assured that this town has not changed any in the 20+ years since it was filmed. And yes, they do have the huge Christmas festival every year - just like in the movie. It is still a quaint, cool Southern town.
Not only does the Farm have alligators, but they also have a petting zoo. And if you get hungry, you can grab a bite to eat in the snack bar. How ironic to be able to watch alligators being fed, and then go to the snack bar to eat fried alligator on a stick! Here's a video of feeding time. (Tonya, thanks for sharing your pictures with me!)
