EGGFEST 2010
Eggfest is a celebration of the
alligator egg-laying season. As you may have guessed, we have lots of
activities involving eggs (we use store-bought chicken eggs for the
activities).
Around the first of
July, the female alligators build a nest and lay their eggs in the
night. Then she covers them up. We can either go out the next day and
fight off 
the female to
gather the eggs and put them in an incubator (it’s too cold for them to
survive outside). Or, we can collect the eggs in the middle of the
night as the female is laying 
them. She is in a
trance while she is laying eggs, so she doesn’t even know we are there.
Come
join the activities July 3rd & 4th from 10:00am to 4:00pm.
We’ll
have lots of games and prizes!
Open
daily 9am to 7pm
(Summer Hours)
