There was one alligator and the enclosure was very small. The cashier worker was rude but they had nice souvenir options. Overall not a place you want to visit when on vacation. read more

This and many stores on the strip here are all the same. They use the animals as a gimmick to get people in the store but all of the merchandise is the same tired tourist crap and there's a tiny tank with one caiman in it that probably should be in something bigger. There's a sign that says not to hit the glass or else it will stress out the gator baby but you know dang well hillbilly kids are gonna come in there when it's busy and their hillbilly parents are gonna let them bang on that glass to their hearts content. They sell tons of gross Trump merch (like a bunch of other places in the south, shocking read more

Pretty standard gift shop that you'd find in any tourist city in America. Not that it's bad, but it's definitely not original. Same t shirt designs. Same hats. Same tank tops that say, "I flexed and the sleeves fell off". Same shirts that are two for 10 bucks or $5.99 each. The only thing that may make this place better is that they have a live gator inside the store. Not roaming around, but in a cage, naturally ( not really natural for the poor gator, but you know what I mean). The store is big and has a lot of stuff inside of it, even if most of it is pure just, there still is a lot to look at. Prices are reasonable, so if the shirt falls apart in the first wash, you probably won't be too upset about it. Stop here, sure. I mean, I'd be said f this place went out of business because I don't know what would happen to that poor gator. read more

The staff here is extremely rude and disrespectful. I wouldn't buy anything from here. Overall ridiculous and unpleasant experience. The selection is quite expensive, $30 for a sweater when you could get one from gatlinburg down the street for a better price and experience. 10/10 WONT RECOMMEND. read more

Five of our group visited here because my nephew really wanted to see the "live alligators." When we showed up, the tank was empty, so we shopped around for a while. Eventually, the single caiman made an appearance. He was so small and only his head popped up above the surface. I think my nephew was glad to have seen him, but the rest of us weren't really impressed. It's really more of a gimmick than anything else, but I suppose that's to be expected when they're not charging anything to see the "live alligators." We were completely disgusted by the dead baby sharks in bottles that they are selling as souvenirs. Aside from that, there is a massive selection of non-dead-baby-animal souvenirs -- shirts, hoodies, other clothing items, lots of gift items, mugs, magnets, keychains, etc. If you're just coming in for some Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg/Smoky Mountains-themed souvenirs, then you should be able to find something in a fairly decent price range. If you're wanting some souvenirs in a reasonable price range, this is a decent place to stop. If you're going for the "live alligators" maybe don't bother unless seeing a small caiman is on your bucket list. read more

Rude service they say a price on the walls for the shirts 2x1 and the price is $19.99 and came out to 37 some they literally trick you into coming in they're store by saying everything is 9.98 false advertisement would not recommend it stay away from here!!! read more

The minute we walked in the cashier said they were closed when google clearly said they closed at 11. If I can rate this zero stars, I would. The cashier took one glance at us and told us they were closed in order to leave and didn't answer us when we asked a question. Do not enter here. Hopefully they get friendly people who can provide better customer service to everyone. -1000000/10 read more

So I made the mistake of looking at the first review and seeing it had five stars. This is just like any other shop you'll find in a vacation spot around the United States. A bunch of cheap crap for your kids to look through for souvenirs. My daughter wanted a T-shirt they had and the logo was already peeling off before she got to the counter. If you're looking for run-of-the-mill typical souvenirs and vacation style junk like towels and T-shirts this is your place. If you're looking for nice things you need to go into Gatlinburg and steer clear of shops like this one. read more

I added the business myself b/c after looking to so many souvenir shops I couldn't believe that the best one was not posted. They have good quality T-Shirts 3 x$9.99, 2 x $9.99, 2 x $14.99 and much more.. 80% of their T-Shirt are nice and of good quality. read more

I have reported to PETA as well! My boyfriend and I were so confused and in disbelief that they would have a live alligator in a souvenir shop, we had to go in to confirm. When we found the glassed-in "habitat" area, the alligator was being held, we were shocked and couldn't bear to stand there for another minute. The alligator looked lethargic, he had his whole mouth in a muzzle, and a "handler" was just holding him still on the ground. There didn't seem a need for him to be restrained; like I mentioned earlier, he seemed very lethargic and almost unhealthy. He was very small. I didn't get a photo to add to this review because as soon as we caught a glimpse of the poor animal, my boyfriend and I couldn't stomach the sight of the animal in restrains anymore. The alligator was just sitting there restrained for no reason, there was no one inside the room except for the alligator and the "handler," and it was unnecessary and sickening. There is no reason for an animal to be held in captivity in such a small, confined area. I just hope that the alligators are fed well and taken care of because from the way it looked, they didn't look so well. Don't go to this store to support them because in our opinion they are bringing in tourists by means of animal abuse!! read more
