If you're from or spend a lot of time in Southeast Texas, chances are you've heard of Gator Country. This Texas park is one of the most unique attractions in the Lone Star State.

Located right off I-10 as you enter the city of Beaumont, this adventure park is home to two of the largest live alligators ever caught - and you can see them up-close!

"Big Al" is 13 feet, four inches long and 88 years old, and "Big Tex" measures a whopping 13 feet, 11 inches. This alligator farm in Texas is one of the only places you can see gators of this size!

The park is a blast for animal lovers of all ages. Not only do you get the rare opportunity to see over 450 alligators, crocodiles, and other reptiles all in one place, but you can also wade with some of the smaller gators! Most of them are rescues, so you can rest assured your money is going towards a good cause.

Other reptiles include snakes and turtles, and you'll also see mammals like racoons. Guests can interact with most of the animals, making for a fun and educational family outing.

Gator Country also offers swamp tours that lead through the gorgeous bald cypress trees of Taylor Bayou. The bayou is teeming with life, and you'll see everything from various bird species to - of course - alligators.

Boat tours are by reservation only, and you can book online or by calling (409) 794-9453.

One of the neatest things about the park is that it now doubles as a restaurant! The Gator Country restaurant is a casual family eatery located right on site.

An open-air deck overlooks the gator pond, and there's live music and yard games every single night. It's one of the most unique restaurants in Texas, in an unforgettable environment.

Open from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. Thursday through Saturday nights, the restaurant features a full menu with burgers, seafood baskets, tacos, and many other delicious options.

The restaurant also has some unique options like Boudin Balls - deep-fried orbs based on the classic Louisiana sausage.

When in season, there's also crawfish with all the fixings! It's a five-napkin affair, and a classic experience for any lovers of the small-spicy crustaceans.
