Everglades Alligator Farm
Everglades Alligator Farm is a wildlife park in Miami-Dade County, Florida, nearby the city of Homestead and the entrance of Everglades National Park. It claims to be the oldest and largest alligator farm in South Florida, along with containing over 2,000 alligators. Additionally, it provides airboat rides through the Floridian wilderness.
The park works with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to train and trap alligators hygienically and safely. Handlers are also trained on site and people who have been trained at other facilities are not hired. It is also the only alligator farm in the region that does not kill or sell alligators for meat, although it does sell their eggs to other farms in Florida.
