Our Sister, Next Door
Vivarium Crocodylus — the park.
The sanctuary doesn't stand alone. Right beside us, on 150 acres, is Vivarium Crocodylus — a for-profit crocodile park where the world comes for daily demonstrations, the living collection, and the bulk of the crocodilian education. Two halves of one mission.
