Your kids will love it here! The downstairs is full of antique fire engines and equipment. The upstairs is designed for kids to play and to become aware of safety... My boys got to meet the Fire Chief of Beaumont and have pictures with him at his desk. They loved it so much that they would have gladly gone back the next day

We have lived in the area for over 4 years, and just discovered this Park and the Gardens. It's a free place to visit and operates on benefactors and donation. I'm . photographer and discovered it right when the Azaleas were blooming and it made for gorgeous photos. They also have an indoor conservatory that has a lovely waterfall, pillars and other water feature (also free to enter). I can not say enough good things about this place!

Professional and informative! Our tour guide Blake was very knowledgeable about the reptiles; sharing their unique stories and traits. He park has many alligators of all sizes in a clean, professional and safe environment for the animals and the visitors. Along with alligators they also have a separate reptile exhibit with a large selection of snakes, lizards, tarantulas and tortoises. The facilities let you get really close to the animals. Most of the alligators are rescues from the wild including some enormous 10-13 footers named Tex, Allie and Kong. You can purchase snacks such as pellets and weenies to feed the gators and lettuce for the tortoises. They come right up to you! This is a professional, safe and clean facility.
