May 18, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

What: A visit to the park

Where: St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological Park

Date and Time: May 18, 9a-3p

It is nesting season at St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological Park, and it is in full swing.  In May there are chicks of every species in the rookery at this time, but still displaying from all species with the exception of the wood storks.  Green heron chicks hatching out within the park.  The Great egret and stork chicks are giant.  There are chicks of every size from every species.  Many species still continuing to display. The wading bird rookery is only a small part of the park. There are other shows and exhibits such as Alligator, Birds of Africa and Exotic Birds and Mammals, Reptiles, Crocodiles.

Here is the plan as of right now … Meet at Winn Dixie near TLNC (corner of SR 19 and CR 44, Eustis) at 6:45 a.m. for a departure of 7:00 AM.  OR you can meet us at 8:45 a.m. at the St Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological Park (999 Anastasia Blvd St Augustine, Florida).   The drive is 1.75 hr.  Carpooling may be available if needed.

Cost: $30.00 per person includes entrance fee, lunch, and taxes.

Suggested donation amounts, $10/members or $15/non-members, above costs such as entry or guide fees, included lunches, or “rides” etc. are included in the payment options below so you can conveniently include them on your pre-registration credit card payment. Children are usually free.

**A menu will be sent to everyone who has pre-registered to choose what they would like for lunch. We are pre-ordering to help with any dietary needs etc., and so they can prepare lunch for us in a timely manner to be served

OPTION 1: If enough people are interested, we possibly can arrange a behind the scenes tour for an additional $10.00.

NOTE: Field Trips are subject to change due to weather or other circumstances. For most trips, you will need outdoor shoes, insect repellant, sunscreen, a hat, raingear or jacket, binoculars (of course), water, and a snack or lunch, unless otherwise noted.

FYI – This is a photographers dream… If you are a photographer there is a photography pass that allows entry into the park an hour before the park opens to the general public. The price is steep $74.95 for 2 days and this is from 8:00 AM until Sunset. There is a year pass of $109.95

There may be an overnight option for staying Friday night for those interested. I will be looking into this and sharing information as I compile my research for places to stay and prices.
