Alabama NewsCenter — Alligator Alley is an Alabama small town wonder with some bite

By Amber Sutton

It’s no secret that Alabama is a state full of often adorable Southern critters, but in Summerdale there’s one less-than-cuddly creature that’s king and Alligator Alley is a small-town wonder that gives visitors the chance to see why.

Alligator Alley opened in Summerdale in 2004 and, since then, folks from across the South have been chomping at the bit to see the hundreds of gators – ranging from hatchlings that are so small they are almost cute to massive males – that call it home.

After spending time during his childhood at the natural cyprus swamp where Alligator Alley and its inhabitants now reside, owner Wes Moore decided to open the reptile farm on his family’s land. He wanted to share his love and knowledge of gators with others while also letting visitors get up-close and personal with the creatures.
