Being in FL and not visiting a gator farm or a show is so not cool. Gatorland will give you both a show, a farm , and just overall cool time with friends or family (including kids)

Roberto Camacho

Lots of gators small & big , among other animals , Albino gators birds snakes , spiders and lots of walking and feeding, a work out in the summer. Winter gators are more or less sleeping.

Dale Andrews

Gatorland CHARMED me like I never expected. The "Bubba & Cooter" show may have been a low point but it's peaceful , I dig the layout, and there's plenty of room for the gators . Go if you have time!

Michelle L

So much fun...great place to see gators up close! You can feed them hot dogs which is cool. There's also gator wrestling and you can get your picture sitting on a gator !

Mike D

The Gatornuggies here are incredible! you pick a gator from the swamp (like a lobster from a tank) and they carve it up fresh at your table!

Arwen McCaffrey

This is a super place to take kids! Definitely go towards the end of the day. Not only do you get a reduced fare, they also feed the gators late in the afternoon, which involves huge hunks of bloody

Big Mark

One of the best low key attractions in Florida. Really enjoyed myself and so did the family ????

Susanne Uhlig

Good place to watch gators and have fun with friends or family. You can also drive around in a railroad but you need to wait quite a little.

DoubleTree by Hilton

Gatorland showcases thousands of alligators and crocodiles including four extremely rare "white" alligators ! Located between Orlando and Kissimmee on the South Orange Blossom Trail .

Thanks, to the guys working the zip line , for making my mom feel comfortable . She wouldn’t have done it otherwise but now she is one cool senior!

Russ A

Really enjoyed the experience and so did the rest of my family. Nice to see a "real" representation of Florida instead of the Disney/Rip-Off version. Part nature preserve , part entertainment.

Asada Yuuki

Such a great and fun place for the family! If you're around, make sure to come by and visit our backyard pets ????????

With its goofy, gaping alligator jaws as the main entrance, Gatorland is the kind of attraction you'd imagine would be on Clark Griswold's National Lampoon's Vacation itinerary.

Marj Datoon

A must place to visit. Zip line is really good with the friendliest staff

Sarah Scott

Fun place! They feed the gators chickens , not live but a whole chicken you'd buy at the food store. They hold it out on a small bridge over the water & the gators jump out of the water to eat it!

Jameel Noor

Park is nice, small, full of things to see for the kids. You can spend 2-3 hours (afternoon) but make sure that you don't eat there as the food (like many other parks ) bad and expensive .

HISTORY

Founded in 1949, it's known as the "Alligator Capital of the World". They also have a road show providing alligator wrestling, pythons & lizards with informative animal talk for private parties.

Shopkeeper Bardwell

Go after 3 pm for half priced admission. Tons (literally) of gators to see. But if you've seen one you've seen about enough in 2 hours, so save the money and go late. Gator dinner is at 4:30 they jump

Wonderful! Much cleaner and nicer than I remember. Staff was wonderful. Anxious to go back.

This place is a must see, you'll never see that many Gators in one place, simply amazing!!

Fox Forlenza

Had an awesome time doing the zip line ! Well worth the price, considering how long the adventure was!

Gator wrestling , fried gator , train ride, feeding haters are the best!

Professor Twain ????????⚾⚾

Old school Florida attraction , will not disappoint. Watch for discounts for Florida residents

Chris Burns

Showed up 2 hrs before closing. Got in for half price. Enough time to do the park . Awesome

Raquel Osborne

The zip was fun, but not worth full price. This is a fun place to kill about half a day!

Kelly Paredes

Buy the gator chow (hotdogs ). Get 10 bags. Feeding gators never gets old.

Matt Johnston

A MUST SEE ATTRACTION, go find the saltwater crocs and Chester the dog eater.

Halcyon Shore

Bring a camera and be patient. Sometimes gators move around and other times.... they don't! But it's ALWAYS fun!

LimoBank Services

Don't hold bait in hand near big carnivorous birds...or else get bitten! Aggressive birds ;)

Robb Luther

Watch the Close Encounters show. Very funny... very well done.

Natasha Joshua

Bring your Florida I.d for half off! And don’t skip the shows

jw de w

Bit difficult to find, coming from Clermont, FL. Tip: use zipcode for navigation instead of just the address.

Kathy S

The aviary is so fun! Be sure to check it out!

Chana Bird

Great place for birders! Bring your binoculars AND your camera !

Marisa Talavera-hind

Do everything! .. gator wrestling was the best... very entertaining

Don't Miss: Check out the alligator and crocodile breeding marsh at night from the safety of an observation tower!

Carl Griffin

Amazing gator wrestling shows.

Sara Mattei

great place

Kevin Kersey

Must ride the Screamin' Gator Zipline . It's a blast my entire family loved it!!!

LB

A must visit if you are in the Orlando area.. So worth the money.

Peter

SO great. Make sure you get a picture riding a gator . $10, and worth it.

sarah Kirchoff

The photo booth is always running specials on the pictures. They are the most affordable theme park pictures around!

Linda P

Really smoking in the park . Train ride wait is 2 hours ! Really embarrassing think twice before coming

Ronnie

Good but not great. It was cool to see all the alligators but we paid extra to ride the train and we walked 45 minutes to ride it and it was broken when we got there.
