Chris PerOrange Hill Gator Farm is an absolute hidden gem! From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. You can tell the staff genuinely care about the animals and take great pride in what they do. The tour was fun, educational, and full of interesting facts about alligators and the other animals on the property. Seeing the gators up close was an unforgettable experience, and the demonstrations were both exciting and informative. The farm is clean, well-maintained, and perfect for families, animal lovers, or anyone looking for a unique Florida adventure. We left with a much greater appreciation for these amazing animals and can't wait to come back. If you're anywhere near the area, Orange Hill Gator Farm is a must-visit. Highly recommend—five stars all the way

Tony Grieco⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABSOLUTELY WILD… LITERALLY! 🐊🎉 For my wife’s 38th birthday, we decided to skip the fancy dinner and do something with a little more bite, so we headed to Orange Hill Gator Farm with four of our friends. BEST. DECISION. EVER. From the moment we arrived, Chris and the legendary Gator Girl (Merissa) treated us like long-lost family who just happened to enjoy hanging out with prehistoric murder lizards. Their knowledge, humor, and passion made the experience unforgettable. I’m pretty sure Chris could convince a gator to sit down and discuss life insurance, and Merissa had us laughing so hard we almost became emotional support snacks. The tour was amazing, the animals were incredible, and the atmosphere was pure Florida magic. Where else can you celebrate a birthday while surrounded by creatures that have survived since the dinosaurs and somehow still have better manners than some people at Walmart? My wife had an absolute blast, our friends are still talking about it, and we all left with huge smiles and an even bigger appreciation for these incredible animals. Nobody lost a hand, nobody got chased into the swamp, and everyone agreed it was one of the funniest and most memorable experiences we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a unique adventure, incredible hosts, and enough laughs to make your cheeks hurt, Orange Hill Gator Farm is the place. Chris and Merissa are national treasures, and I’d trust them with my birthday, my barbecue, and possibly even my infant child (if I had one). 10/10. Would happily risk becoming emotionally attached to a gator again. 🐊😂

Heather BrownWhat an unforgettable experience! I can’t recommend this place enough. Chris and Emily were the best hosts—so friendly and welcoming, they even called us by name and made us feel like family. The property is huge—30 acres—and home to over 700 gators! My 14-year-old son and I went with my parents who are locals in Chipley and we are visiting from Washington State. My dad surprised us with tickets and just said, “We’re going to a gator farm, where you will be guaranteed to see gators.” We had no clue what was in store, but wow—we were blown away! Chris and his daughter Emily gave us a personal tour where we got to get up close with gators of all sizes. We fed baby gators, held them, and even hand-fed wild ones at a breeding pond down the road. It was exciting, safe, and something we’ll never forget. And as a bonus, I got to check off a bucket list moment—holding a one-week-old baby goat! Seriously adorable. If you’re anywhere nearby or even visiting from far away, this is 100% worth the trip. A perfect adventure for families, animal lovers, and anyone looking for something truly unique!

Danielle FitzgeraldOur family enjoyed learning about gators and various other animals while touring the farm with Chris. He's incredibly knowledgeable and patient. He ensured that each member of our large family had a chance to ask questions (a lot of them) and enjoy the hands-on experiences. We were invited to wade with and feed young gators, hold bunnies, feed and brush large tortoises, and play with goats. We then rode down to the adjacent pond and fed the larger breeding pond gators one at a time. The experience was easy-going and educational. The farm is beautifully kept, safe, and clearly the result of years of hard work and dedication to not only the animals, but a passion for sharing them with visitors. You won't regret stopping by!
