The place is small and buildings are old, but was painted up and the pens did not have bad odors. more on Yahoo! Travel

We have plans to go back to hot springs but this place will not be on our to do list. more on Yahoo! Travel

It was fun and worth the money and time we took to go there. more on Yahoo! Travel

This was a good time of the year to be there as the acorns were ripe and we were invited to pick them up to feed the deer, which the deer just couldn't get enough! more on Yahoo! Travel

This is a fun thing to do with kids, they can see the animals and have all kinds of fun. Good chance to see an alligator for kids ... more on TripAdvisor

I wished we would have waited and gone on a Thursday, Saturday or Sunday at noon to see the alligators being fed. We didn't do this and found the attraction "asleep". All of the alligators were vegeta ... more on TripAdvisor

On a family vacation, we took our child (age 2), nephew (3) and neice (1) on a Thursday. While it is not a huge place, the kids loved it. At noon on Thursdays they have a feeding show and the staff ac ... more on TripAdvisor

My kids absolutely LOVED this attraction. We went for the Thursday noon feeding, which was crowded, so it's good to go early and get a spot in the shade. We learned so much about gators (even though w ... more on TripAdvisor

my husband and I stopped here when we got lost in arkansas. The people here are so wonderful and nice. We are planning on our next vacation ... more on Yahoo! Travel

The place is small and buildings are old, but was painted up and the pens did not have bad odors. We really enjoyed hand-feeding the white-tailed deer, and the goats, as always, were very friendly. This was a good time of the year ... more on Yahoo! Travel

We had so much fun at the Arkansas Alligator Farm that we went back a second time before we left town. The animals were well treated and seemed to be content. The petting zoo was lot of fun. I enjoyed the deer the most. The mountain ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Loved it. This was our second visit. Deer were fat and tame for the kids. See the gators at feeding time for the best show. This is an old established business and they raise gators for the state so don't be put off by the antiquated ... more on Yahoo! Travel

Typical tourist trap. Alligators were interesting, but it was so pathetic to go in the dark building to see one poor monkey in a small cage by itself. Also could hardly stand to go thru the petting area, way too small for the number ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I have four children and my sister has three, we have traveled to Hot Springs for eight years and every year we stop by and watch the alligators eat. Our children look forward every year to coming to the Alligator Farm, petting the ... more on Yahoo! Travel

We took our six yr old here on our trip and, while I will say seeing the alligators up close was a neat experience, the rest of the place is in need of serious improvement. There are several animals in very poor cages/enclosures including ... more on Yahoo! Travel

I love the animals (of course!) and the staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. The facilities are always clean and you can tell the animals are taken care of. They give you bread to feed the animals with when you go in but they will ... more on Yahoo! Travel

This is a FANTASTIC family outing! Not only did out kids have fun, but the adults did too! You get a tour of the animals, which includes watching the alligators get fed, and you get some bread to feed the deer/goats, and other barn ... more on Yahoo! Travel
