Zoo in Florida, United States
The St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park is one of Florida 's oldest continuously running attractions , having opened on May 20, 1893.[3] crocodilians , and also a variety of other reptiles , mammals and birds , as well as exhibits, animal performances and educational demonstrations.
History [ edit ]
The park began in 1893 on St. Augustine Beach as a minor attraction at the end of a railway running through neighboring Anastasia Island . The alligators were added at first to get visitors to buy souvenirs and see the museum there. Soon, the reptiles themselves became the main point of interest.
Growing in popularity, the park moved to its current location in the early 1920s. The park changed owners in the 1930s, and, after a devastating fire, they started reconstruction and expansion of the facilities. In 1993, for their 100-year anniversary, the park became the first place in the world to display every species of crocodilian.
From FL-A1A in 2019
In 2008, the zoo opened a new Komodo dragon facility that also exhibits lizards and snakes found within Southeast Asia .
