We absolutely love this place!! The kids have a great time and love catching the catfish. There was a 14lber caught while we were there...so ya, mostly 1lbers...but theres a few monsters in there too!  This became my 10 yr old daughter Brandi's best friend...she was petting it all day!

Hamster1....that is a Large Catfish! lol if you look at the pic of the wall of catfish posted up higher in the chain...that is ONE of them...his head is at the top of the water and when the kids drop pellet food into the tank...they come up like that! I take it he was saying "feed me seymore!"(Little Shop of Horrors movie)lol You can pet them on their head really easy since they come up to the top like that...kids love it!

Took the grandson last year. We fished and had a ball. He enjoyed the alligators. It's well worth the entrance fee and the drive. The diver feeding the fish was imressive. If you've got young kids or grand kids, take em. You'll be glad you did.
