You will find some unusual objects (like these gator jaws) at the small hands-on museum, where children are free to explore. It was here that our girls enjoyed seeing the baby alligators, touching a real alligator hide, checking their "wing span" against that of a large bird, and making rubbings of animal shapes. The on-duty park attendant was helpful in pointing out little-known facts of interest and getting the children to participate.
