The Arkansas Alligator Farm and Petting Zoo is a privately owned zoo located on Whittington Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas.[2]

The farm houses but does not raise alligators and has done so since it was founded in 1902.[3] The farm includes a small museum with a collection of mounted alligators, a souvenir shop but there’s no snack bar. It includes the mummified carcass purporting to be a "Merman", similar to ones held in Ripley's Believe It or Not! museums.[4]

The main alligator pit contains a small headstone, a memorial to somebody's fox terrier that was killed by alligators on that spot in 1906.[5]
