This Family-Friendly Gator Farm Is So Perfectly New Orleans

This is the perfect time of year to be spending your weekend outside exploring, and boy have we got the perfect spot for a fun little road trip. This gator farm is about an hour and a half from New Orleans, but it’s absolutely worth the drive to get to see these creatures up close. Who knows, you may even get to hold one!

Greenwood Gator Farm & Tours is located in Gibson, Louisiana.

It’s about an hour and a half drive from New Orleans, but it’s worth it!

Greenwood houses and hatches 5,000-10,000 alligators each year.

During your guided tour you’ll be able to see them in their habitat and learn about the art of alligator hunting from real life hunters.

You can also go on a swamp tour through the backwaters of Houma

The hour long tour with Tim "The Gator Man" Domangue will show you some of the prettiest landscape Louisiana has to offer.

Not only do they offer swamp tours and farm tours, but they also host birthday parties!

Kids will love an afternoon hanging out with alligators.

And of course, no gator farm tour is complete without getting to hold a baby gator!

Don't worry, their mouths are taped up so it's safe!

You can find Greenwood Gator Farm & Tours at 125 Gator Ct, Gibson, Louisiana 70356.
