Held and pet gators and learned alot about the Royce was a vlast and does a really good job at keeping the little kids going with also including information and including tge adults in the group...Thank you for an amazing adventure! Best thing so far on our trip! (Although they could use some signs around the town to let you know your going the right way...) :)

    This was by far the best trip of our holiday. The guide, Jim, was so funny and really full of fun facts about the gators. I was riveted the whole time. He told us all about the alligators life cycle and answered all our questions We saw videos and then went into the ranch to see the gators up close. We even got to play with the baby gators which are actually very cute with squigy tummies and nothing to be frightened of at all. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon and very reasonably priced too. For all ages, I would definitely recommend a trip to Insta-Gator ranch.

    The talk was extremely informative, and very child-friendly. We got to hear about how the alligator population has thrived with their help, as well as some ending up in burgers! We were told how big their brains are, what they eat, and how the eggs are cared for; as well as how the conservation keeps tabs.We got to see alligators at different stages - 1 year olds and 2 year olds. The member of staff giving the talk got into the pool and picked one up for us to hold (he was a year, and about 5 inches long) - my son helped tape up the mouth.I paid extra to be able to catch & hold baby alligators. The children enjoyed it. I also paid for us to be able to get a photo holding a baby alligator, whilst sat on a wooden mama alligator. This was a bit pricey, especially as it was a 5x7.The shop was in a barn, slightly cramped, but had a lot of items that come from the skins of the alligators they had reared. Bought a t-shirt each for the kids. The postcards weren't particularly interesting.Visited May 2012 (but the earliest in the select menu is October 2013 - sori for any confusion!)

    Great place to learn about alligators. Kids and adult have an opportunity to have baby gators hatch in August as that is the highlight of the season.

    Took the 11 year old who had a great time. The guide was very informative and the kids loved touching and picking up the alligators.

    Took the family including my 2 1/2 year old son. The tour guide, Jimmy, really made the tour. He was very funny, entertaining and informative. The tour was very educational and bringing the real purpose of the ranch, conservation, of the American Alligator to light. I definitely recommend getting reservations (military and seniors get a discount) and paying for the "catch a gator" experience. We spent about 20 minutes catching small yearlings in a very safe and controlled environment. This is a far better experience than Gatorland in Florida

    I have had on my "Bucket List" for some time to see and be able to TOUCH an alligator. This was really a dream come true for me. We were able to see .. up close... and touch everything from a BABY up to a 4 footer. We were able to feed the bigger ones, and catch the smaller ones in a catch pool. I had more fun than I've had in years. I also brought home a picture of me holding a 4 footer! In addition to being able to feed and handle them, our guide was very informative.. and EXTREMELY entertaining! We all had a wonderful time and learned a LOT.

    Not sure what side of the bed Timmy P got up on but my girlfriend and I loved this place. We like to see different things, especially nature stuff. My GF was excited to touch an alligator for the first time. Everyone (including the owners!) clearly knew their stuff and were very accommodating. The alligators are well cared for, and their environments are very cool.

    My family and I visited recently and had a wonderful time !!!!!!!!!!! What a cool place. My children loved it and everyone was so wonderful to us from the gift shop to the captivating and entertaining alligator wranglers. This is truly a unique experience and a professionally run venue. We are telling all our friends that this is a don't miss adventure when in Southern Louisiana. TIP : Make sure you visit the catch pool and hold Mr Snappy. Heidi and Norbert Collins

    This place was great all the way around. I've stopped at a few different gator farms across the south with my kids. This gator ranch tops them all. The guy who gave the tour was awesome. Even when my 3 year old kept trying to take the stage.Their prices are very fare compared to some others, but way more bang for the buck. We will definitely be stopping by there again the next time we're down that way. Call ahead for reservations. We didn't know and happen to show up just before a tour started, thankfully.

    My great niece (4 years old) is fascinated with alligators. During their visit to our home in Louisiana, we decided to take the tour at Insta-Gator Ranch. We had heard some very good reviews of the Ranch from friends. The tour was fun and educational. The staff was wonderful and our guide was great! Our visitors had a blast and we did too. We had our picture taken with a 4 foot gator - a great souvenir of our visit to the Ranch.

    My husband and I decided to take our three kids here (3, 7, 8) while we were in New Orleans. We didn't know you needed a reservation but they let us join the tour. It was so neat! It took about a hour and a half, we touched a baby gator, fed a bunch of gators marshmallows, and took a picture with a 4ft gator. My 8 year old daughter was picked to help tape a gators mouth shut and she still talks about that. They also had a pool full of baby gators so kids can pick them up (mouths are taped shut) but it started to rain so we skipped that, wish we wouldn't though. Definitely will be going back, it was really a great place!

    My twelve year old son and I went to the insta-gator ranch as part of a day trip while visiting New Orleans. He wanted to hold an alligator and this seemed like the best place to go. The staff was wonderful. Our primary guide was incredibly good with the children on the tour. He seemed to LOVE his job. The younger man who was assisting him was very knowledgable about the alligators. He had thorough answers for the simplest to the most complex questions the tour participants asked. We learned a lot about the alligators and their environment, all while having fun! I highly recommend adding on the extra alligator catching at the end of the tour. It is only $5 ( they have a $2 off coupon available at the Louisiana tourist info center) and it was a blast! Those little suckers are just so cute!

    My entire family had a great time here. We reserved our tour the morning of, and upon arrival, the tour started promptly and on-time. Our Rancher, from Brooklyn, kept the kids attention the entire time-even in the heat & humidity. Expect to enjoy about two hours here. Google maps was spot on. Pay the extra $5 to catch and hold the baby gators. Well worth it. My boys, wife, and mother really enjoyed it.
