Critchlow Alligator Sanctuary is a combined animal shelter, sanctuary, and interactive wildlife attraction located in Southwest Michigan, open seasonally from May through October. The facility's primary residents are alligators, including named individuals such as Godzilla, alongside tortoises and other reptile species. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no advance reservations required, the sanctuary welcomes families, school groups, and road-trippers looking for an unusual wildlife stop. Visitors can learn about alligator behavior and care through trainer interactions and exhibit tours, and a gift shop is available on-site. The sanctuary operates as a true rescue and rehabilitation facility, accepting donations to support its ongoing animal care and conservation mission.
