The admission fee is a requested donation of $10 per person (at the door- cash, check or credit card) and will help the Wildlife Discovery Center maintain the high-level of care they provide their resident alligators and crocodiles. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will help support crocodile conservation. Special thanks to the sponsor of this event, Knauz Autopark.
