This park is operated in a manner similar to state and national
parks, but it is neither. This probably explains the admission fees.
If you can't spend the day or if you are traveling on a budget, you can see a
small museum, a camellia garden, some wildlife, and two gift shops free. All the
photos currently on this site were taken in the free area. We don't recommend that you pet the
alligators. The city of Waycross, nearby, is just beginning to develop its
historic downtown, but it has good hotels and restaurants. |

Why
shop online?
Prices
and selection
are often better
from these Web
sites than in your
neighborhood stores. Many
of them offer
free packing and
shipping to
your
door or to your
gift recipient. So,
you can save
time, gas, and
money. Merchant
sites must
meet high security
standards to
advertise
on QuaintPlaces.com.
|
Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to QuaintPlaces.com. These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases. Only
purchases
made within a few
days
after
your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
(Please do not delete your cookies.)
These
commissions, plus sales of our
own photos and cards, are
necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.
