Step into the world of one of Florida’s most iconic predators.
Join Florida Naturalist Experience Institute of Natural Conservation for “Alligator Talk with Phil” at Big Hammock Brewery and Bites. We will take an up-close, engaging look at the American alligator, led by special educator Phil Kelton. You’ll explore real alligator specimens, gain a deeper understanding of their role in our ecosystem, and walk away seeing Florida a little differently.
And because learning should be experienced, not rushed - enjoy an elevated lunch by Bon Voisin Chef, thoughtfully prepared to match the afternoon. The menu will include:

Fresh bread and olive oil
Grilled vegetable plate with olives and cheese
Chicken Marsala with mushroom tortellini
Lemon cream Zeppole
(Fried pastry filled with lemon custard)
No live gators. We value your hands.
