Have you ever wanted to see real Alligators in Michigan? Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary is here for just that!

Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary is a one kind encounter that you won’t experience anywhere else. See gator shows, enjoy a tour from staff, learn about the gators, turtles, tortoises, and many of their other residents. Feel free to ask as many questions as you’d like. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and there was not one question that we asked that they didn’t know the answer to!

Walk around and enjoy learning about the 100s of reptiles that call the sanctuary home. All of their residents are rescued or surrendered to the sanctuary. They have received animals from 22 different states! The larger Alligators have their backstories framed so you can see how they came to reside at the sanctuary.

There are lots of fun add on’s you can experience for a small fee. You can feed the gators food a cup is $12 each or 2 for $20. You can hold a baby alligator for just $12 or two people for $20. Or you can enjoy the tortoise encounter for the same price of $12 or two people for $20.
