Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Gator Bayou Adventure Park officially opens. Many wonders why at the beginning of winter would you open a water park. The answer, it is much more than a water park. Multi-story obstacle courses, gator exhibits, a petting zoo, restaurants, zip lines, and an 80-foot free fall platform. The project which many thoughts would never take off was started in 2013, Since then over 20-miles of underground water lines, sewer lines, additional retention ponds, thousands of yards of concrete and 150 fire hydrants. Many of the slides are still under construction and are expected to be complete Spring Break. Admission to the park is free, however, some of the extras will cost you such as feeding the Gators, some of the zip lines but this way you can come in and just watch or enjoy the day.
Gator Bayou is located on SH 242 just west of US 59. The hours will be 10-6
