The most pleasant, informative, and convenient way to tour the historic city of St. Augustine is to take a trolley tour with the Old Town Trolley. Not only were we able to get on and off at all the important sites, we were also given informative information about the charming city of St. Augustine during on tour.  One of our favorite stops by far was the magnificent grace we experienced while touring Flagler College.

St. Augustine Alligator Farm is Great for Families

Published by under St. Augustine

The St. Augustine Alligator Farm attraction exceeded my expectations to say the least. It was certainly not correlated to the distorted image I initially conjured up in my head. It is not similar to some parks that can be known to sensationalize. It does not mock the animals in any way. It certainly is not some interstate side show that entertains with gator wrestling. The St. Augustine Alligator Farm opened in 1893, and is one of the oldest zoos in the USA. It is a quality, well maintained attraction, that will not disappoint you.
