Crocodile Encounter… Get Up-Close to Alligators, Crocodiles & Tortoises!

by Jill Jarvis 2 Comments

In this Houston field trip, get up-close to alligators, crocodiles, tortoises and more animals… at Crocodile Encounter!

Crocodile Encounter

Crocodile Encounter Resources:

  • Crocodile Encounter offers field trips with educational lessons. Whether you book a field trip or not, you can review their resources for Kindergarden TEKS, 3rd gradeTEKS and 5th grade TEKS.
  • At the park, you can find the following animals (and you can pick which ones you want to learn more about): Tortoises, Crocodiles, Alligators, Lemurs, Antelopes, Pot Bellied Pig, Elands and more.
  • Also, these are the websites recommended by Crocodile Encounter for more information on crocodiles/reptiles:
    • Crocodilian.com
    • Houston Area Reptile Society

Explore Crocodile Encounter:

23231 County Rd 48, Angleton, Texas

Crocodile Encounter has alligators, crocodiles, tortoises and so much more. See the animal list HERE.

You can take a guided tour, take a self-guided tour or organize a group field trip. Rates can be found HERE. (To be sure you have a spot on the tours, book ahead of time HERE.)

You can feed the giant tortoises and throw pellets to the alligators and, if you are on a tour, the tour guide feeds the big alligators and crocodiles. (Our favorite part is always feeding the giant tortoises!)

In the winter, some of the reptiles are indoors and some are outside and you can usually see them all. In the summer, the gators are warmer and more active… but the tour is also hotter for the people!

See our past post HERE… and learn all about Crocodile Encounter HERE.

Drive and Park:

This is down Highway 288 and pretty close to the highway. It is on a big plot of land that looks just like the others… until you go into the building, buy tickets, vegetables and alligator food and start your tour through the back door.

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
