They have over 300 alligators on site, varying in age and size. The petting zoo has common animals like deer and sheep as well as some unusual ones like llamas and ostriches.

Educated Animals

Best Of IgoUgo

Attraction

Quote:
It is full of animal smells but the entertainment is worth a few odors. The show is split into two sections and runs continuously. The first part is in a theater where several animal performers exhibit their skills. A basketbal playing raccon is a hold over from the IQ Zoo and a rabbit has replaced Judy the chicken on the piano. The second half of the show is in a room ringed by individual performance areas. Here the audience is entertained by a driving pig, sliding ducks and a dancing chicken.

Maxwell Blade's Theater of Magic

Attraction

Quote:
This is a Vegas style show with the lights and sounds, leggy assistants (well, one is married to the magician), and flashy costumes. The show takes place in a converted old theatre which supplies a "mystery" to the whole show. The illusions range from simple slight of hand to large productions. The darkness and noises might be too much for very young children.
