Are children allowed to touch or hold live animals?
We do have live alligators and sometimes rescued animals on the boats. Anytime an alligator is presented, the mouth will have loose athletic gauze around the mouth for safety reasons. We follow strict guidelines and have proper permits in order to have an alligator on tour. Alligators are very precious to us, and we handle them with the utmost care and respect rotating them throughout the day for their comfort. At the discretion of our captains, all toddlers/children (up to approximately age 6) must be sitting on a parent’s lap or seated in order to touch or hold any live animal. The captain will have the final say if he will allow anyone of any age to hold our animals to maintain the animals’ comfort and trust.
