Description

CROCtober is dedicated to the conservation of crocodilians and learning about these amazing animals! Explore discovery stations at the Alligator Swamp and inside the reptile building, as well as hands-on activities and crafts. Animal Care Staff will share information during Keeper Chats and special feedings for the two species we have in our care at the BioPark: American alligator and Chinese alligator. You'll also learn how you can help crocodilians in the wild with the Crocodilian Advisory Group (CAG), and more!

All proceeds from this event go to the Crocodilian Advisory Group (CAG), AZA’s first and oldest taxon advisory group. You can learn more about the CAG's mission and conservation work here.
