Wooten's Alligator Farm and Wildlife Sanctuary

Wooten's Alligator Farm and Wildlife Sanctuary is located in Marco Island, Florida and gets mixed reviews from people who have experienced the attraction. The farm offers a combination package that includes a swamp buggy ride, an airboat, an alligator wrestling exhibition and an animal sanctuary. Some people have reported the term sanctuary is a misuse of the word. Those looking for an eco-friendly sanctuary will be disappointed. The space is small and the people who operate the facility aggravate the animals to make them appear ferocious. There is also a small pond inside where visitors are welcome to feed the fish while they wait. There are alligators in this pond, so be aware of where you children are at all times. It is an unusual attraction, so if you do not come to Florida on the regular basis or you are looking for something completely out of the ordinary to do while in town, this could be it. The wrestling is less exciting than you might think and the sanctuary is a bit run-down. The swamp buggy and airboat are reportedly a fun experience. Kids and adults are able to hold alligators, an experience that may only happen once in a lifetime. The cost of the experience is expensive, especially if you have children, at about $50 per person.
