Insta-gator Ranch and Hatchery in Covington was a lot of fun to visit.  We learned about different types of crocodylians, in particular the native Louisiana alligators and their habitat and habits.  After a lively presentation by the guide, we visited the gators in their holding pens and met face-to-snout (the later temporarily muzzled with a tape, just in case…) with one of the friendly youngsters.
