This charming park showcases the fascinating heritage of Brazoria County and is just a short drive from Angleton, the most popular tourist destination in Texas.

The diverse wildlife makes this visit a must for those who particularly like photography. In the zoo you will meet live crocodiles and get the chance to feed them. In a secluded area, just a short walk from the main entrance of the park, we have the opportunity to observe and learn about six species of crocodiles while basking and feeding in the sun. Besides the large reptiles, there are also a variety of plants that you can bring along to feed, as well as other fruits and vegetables.
