Get ready for a close encounter of the reptile kind on Friday, July 17 at 11am at the Minneola City Hall Gym at 800 N. US Highway 27. Meet a Gatorland Wrangler, learn about reptile wildlife and pet a gator.

Gatorland is a true Florida institution and one of its earliest tourist attractions. There is lots to do and see at the park and many different animals to experience besides reptiles. And don’t forget to visit their awesome gift shop.

This program is FREE for all ages thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Minneola Schoolhouse Library. The library is located at 302 West Pearl Street in Minneola, Florida. For more information email jdix@minneola.us or call Josie Dix at the library at (352) 432-3921.
