Another Rapid City Tourist Attraction

A few weeks ago, our neighborhood had a block party sponsored by a local church. We went for the free food and ended up winning 2 tickets to Reptile Gardens, a local tourist-y reptile zoo. The Handleys had a season pass, so we all went together. It was a lot nicer than I expected. A lot of the places around here look really cheesy, but they turn out being pretty fun.
It was an indoor/outdoor place with all sorts of reptiles and pretty flowers everywhere. We had a pretty good time, except for the part when I was put in the stocks for trying to free the alligators. Then we got really weirded out when we saw a wanted sign that looked freakishly similar to Adam...














Other than that, we saw the snake show and alligator show, where they actually wrestled a real alligator! I was pretty scared for the guy doing it. At the end, they brought out a baby alligator to touch. All in all, it was a good time, and it was free!
