Colorado Gator & Reptile Park
719-378-2612
 |
- Famous for its high altitude reptiles, the warm well water not only creates ponds and wetlands for the gators, but also provides outstanding habitat for many water-birds and waterfowl. Initially brought in to dispose of fish-processing waste, these reptiles are framed by snow-capped peaks and make for excellent photo opportunities. The "Two Mile Creek Wildlife Habitat" provides the opportunity to view gators and reptiles in a natural setting, to fish and go boating, and picnicking. Tours are available daily.
Gatorfest is held the first weekend in August each year. The world's first Gator Rodeo and Roundup, with roping, riding, and barrel racing.
Mission Statement: We are striving to be a family oriented, recreational, and educational farm making full use of natural resources with an integrated ecosystem that is practical and environment friendly. Our goal is constant improvement while striving to preserve a genetic variety of species.
Each December we have an ICE FESTIVAL with ice carving competitions, Santa Claus, and ice skating. What is this you say? Snow Gators? No, it's actually alligators in the snow! Alligators will sunbathe in the snow and then go back in the warm water when the sun goes down.
