Want the best Houston area field trip for your kids? Want the best Houston area field trip for the best price? Make your school field trip fun and educational with Crocodile Encounter in combination with Brazos Bend State park. Our facility is designed by educators with Houston area school field trips in mind. Spend your morning with us feeding tortoises, watching croc shows, and taking in the snake/lizard show then hop on your bus for a short 20 minute ride to Brazos Bend State park and see wild alligators and stunning landscape of one of the best state parks in Texas. Brazos Bend is free for all school groups and has great pavilions for your lunch as well as walking trails for students to enjoy nature. The combination of the two locations is an unbelievably great value and a real chance for educators to give students an experience they may otherwise not get in their life. We also often recommend the Brazos River County park which has excellent facilities and playground equipment just a few minutes from Crocodile Encounter. Watching a giant crocodile feed and then seeing native alligators in their habitat is a resonating day for students of all age groups. The word is spreading about this idea with Houston area teachers routinely saying 'best field trip ever'. Call for information on scheduling your trip today. Our facility grows every year and most groups come year after year. It is never the same twice. For fast field trip answers to common questions please check our FAQ. 'Thank you so much for making the Varnett Public School First Grade end of the year field trip a great success! We really enjoyed the trip and I will be recommending your place to all my teacher friends. Thanks again!' **Kelli McKey**

Have a field trip and get a real
Crocodile Encounter! We'd like to tell you what you will experience here but until you've
actually seen our crocodiles up close and personal words won't do it justice. We are the only crocodilian facility in
Texas offering interactive live animal shows onsite at a facility designed for maximum interaction. You and your
students follow the boardwalk as it weaves in and out of actual Nile crocodile enclosures. You'll be as close as you
ever want to be and all in complete safety. In some places the crocodile may actually be under your feet! Surrounded by the sights and sounds of the the Texas coastal
plains Crocodile Encounter offers a one of a kind, hands on, interactive adventure behind the scenes of a professional wildlife
facility. As you walk the boardwalk you may experience a crocodile or alligator bellow or see one of the massive reptiles
wander to a basking site. From your boardwalk vantage point you will be able to see a crocodile feeding demonstration so close
you may feel the mist of a splash or the wind from their jaws closing. Your students are immersed in the animals habitats, doing everything from feeding, touching and being photographed
with the worlds most storied reptilian predator.
Each visit
to Crocodile Encounter is presented in a series of segments. This allows us to accomadate even large groups of several
hundred visitors. As one group is touring the crocodile segment of the facility another group is with the turtles/tortoises,
snakes/lizards, the alligators, or the mammal section of Crocodile Encounter. The facility is designed to allow for an easy
flow of one segment into the next to create a seemless educational experience for our visitors. There is nothing like Crocodile
Encounter in the Houston area or all of Texas. Built by educators with educational groups as the primary focus. From the layout
to the narration Crocodile Encounter is an educational experience with real BITE!
Crocodilians, turtles, and more!
