Took the family to a small family-owned zoo. Also touched an alligator. All the animals can be hand fed. Grilled some hamburgers and hand fed myself, too.

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Not sure hand feeding an alligator is wise...
While they can't be domesticated, they can be tamed. Also it's stupid easy to hold their jaws shut. Like a 5 or 6 year old kid would have the strength to keep their jaws shut. I agree with you though. I wouldn't get near the tame ones when I went to a gator farm in Florida. I still maintain that place is a front for the mob.
Gator Land? I went there as a kid, but still remember it indifferently
I don't actually remember the name. Gatorland sounds familiar though. This was almost 30 years ago now, and I was 15 at the time. It was in the panhandle near Tallahassee, on a scout trip
Gatorland is pretty cool, and relatively affordable compared to other Orlando attractions.
It's basically a zoo specializing in Florida animals.
