点评:Traveling north from the Emerald Coast to Mobile, I added a stop in Summerdale, Alabama that is educational and fun for all ages. I planned my trip so as to arrive at Alligator Alley in time for the 11 AM feeding, the first of three each day. Though the temperature was below the optimal 85 degrees preferred by gators, the bright sunshine brought many of the 700 alligators who reside at the refuge to the water's edge where they could soak up the heat with their osteoderms...I told you this was an educational adventure!
In two separate locations-inside the cleverly themed gift shop and at a booth on the Swamp Boardwalk-commemorative cups filled with alligator snacks can be purchased for $6 (and refilled for $3). On the early spring day when I visited, although the larger alligators had not yet worked up an appetite after their winter slumber, some of the smaller gators were swimming in the water and did snatch any food that was thrown their way.
I recommend the following checklist during your visit:
-Watch a feeding
-Hold a baby alligator
-Purchase a cup of food and feed the swamp gators
-Take selfies with the residents lurking in the background
-Visit the themed gift shop that offers a variety of quality souvenirs for all ages
Team Members at Alligator Alley seem to love what they do and work hard to help guests create lasting memories. Even if you are not a reptile enthusiast, a visit to the well laid out and easily accessible Alligator Alley is worth 90 minutes of your time.
翻译:从翡翠海岸向北前往莫比尔,我在阿拉巴马州的萨默代尔停留了一站,这里老少皆宜,既有教育意义又充满乐趣。我计划好行程,以便能赶上上午 11 点的鳄鱼巷喂食时间,这是每天三次喂食中的第一次。虽然温度低于鳄鱼喜欢的最佳温度 85 度,但明媚的阳光还是把栖息在保护区的 700 只鳄鱼中的许多带到了水边,在那里它们可以用皮内皮吸收热量……我告诉过你,这是一次教育性的冒险!
在两个不同的地方——主题巧妙的礼品店内和沼泽木板路的摊位——可以花 6 美元购买装满鳄鱼零食的纪念杯(再加满 3 美元)。在我参观的早春时节,虽然较大的鳄鱼在冬眠后还没有胃口,但一些较小的鳄鱼正在水中游泳,抢夺扔向它们的任何食物。
我建议您在参观期间完成以下事项:
-观看喂食
-抱着小鳄鱼
-购买一杯食物并喂养沼泽鳄鱼
-与潜伏在背景中的居民自拍
-参观主题礼品店,那里提供适合所有年龄段的各种优质纪念品
鳄鱼巷的团队成员似乎热爱他们的工作,并努力帮助客人创造永久的回忆。即使您不是爬行动物爱好者,参观布局合理且交通便利的鳄鱼巷也值得您花费 90 分钟的时间。
