Q:
Hello, I am a photographer and am interested in visiting the Alligator Farm. My question is how accessible the animals and birds are to photograph....meaning would I be shooting through fences or other obstructions, or are they fairly out in the open? Also, what is the best time of year to come, or is there a best time? I'm mostly interested in birds rather than alligators. Thanks, Christal Steele

The Alligator Farm is one of the best spots in Florida to photograph birds in a great habitat. If you are a serious photographer like I am you will want to buy the Photo Membership which allows you to arrive an hour before the public. It also permits you to stay for a couple of hours after the gates close. ($112.63). It is good for a year after your visit.
