Description

from Gatorland
For more than 70 years, Gatorland has been creating Fun, Smiles, and Special Memories for millions of visitors who have entered through its world-famous gator mouth entrance.

Located between Orlando and Kissimmee on the South Orange Blossom Trail, Gatorland is one of Central Florida's classic attractions, and provides a unique and natural alternative to the larger theme parks of today. Founded by the late Owen Godwin in 1949, and still privately owned by his family today, Gatorland is a 110-acre theme park and
wildlife preserve, combining "Old Florida" charm with exciting, new exhibits and entertainment, making it Orlando's best half day attraction®.

Known internationally as the "Alligator Capital of the World ®," Gatorland provides affordable family fun showcasing thousands of alligators and crocodiles including four extremely rare leucistic "white" alligators. The free-flight aviary, petting zoo, one of a kind animal shows, natural alligator breeding marsh, and the "thrilling" Screamin' Gator Zip Line will ensure your day will be filled with Fun, Smiles and Special Memories!

Get up-close and personal with gators, crocs, birds, turtles, zebu, deer and much more! Enjoy one-of-a kind shows like the Alligators – Legends of the Swamp as one of the bravest daredevils at Gatorland
takes the stage with a 6- 8 foot alligator in order to demonstrate the amazing survival features of this legendary creature. Cheer on the stars of the famous Gator Jumparoo as they jump 4 to 5 feet out of the
water. Then head on over to the Up-Close Encounters Show where you can expect to find the unexpected!

Feed the lovable animals at the petting zoo and the aviary. Then head out to the Swamp Walk or Alligator Breeding Marsh and Bird Rookery where nature is in charge and every visit is unique!

Don’t forget to visit Pearl’s Smokehouse for some good ole’ fashion comfort food before you head on over to the award-winning Gift Shop where you can find everything from t-shirts and plush animals to
specialty items and limited-edition pieces.

"First experience Zip-lining"
October 2019
I went to Gatorland as a kid and remembered loving it so now I've taken my kids, this is their third time, they absolutely love it. This time we went specifically for the zip-lining. Kids ranging in age from 11 - 15 they had a great time. An experience they will always remember.
Read More
Tip: If you get the Groupon for admission/zip lining don't expect to use it right away. You have to make reservations for zip-lining. I wanted to make sure we could get in before purchasing then I bought the Groupon and it did not become available until the next day. Gatorland was great about letting me cancel the ziplining without penalty.

"A good trip back in time"
October 2019
Gatorland reminded us of places we visited growing up. No fancy neon, electronics no buy his shirt etc at every stop. Good entertainment at a great price, very family oriented, defiantly would recommend for family. Very refreshing after a day at one of he major theme parks, also great price also needed after day at major park.

"Excellent entertainment & friendly staff. Good value for money."

Very good place to spend a day with family. Like a private petting zoo for alligators. Plenty to do & experience throughout the park. Lots of shows throughout the day. Zip line & feeding is a must experience. A must visit place in Orlando área.

"Great Experience - bring lots of dollars in change (hidden costs for feeding etc)"
September 2019
Unique experience which is worth doing but lots of hidden costs for extra things - feeding birds, holding baby alligators, feeding them etc - can all add up. Worth getting the package deal but still costs for separate activities. (no package includes everything)
Shows were good and water park was good fun for the children and ideal for a cool off. Can spend at least six hours there doing everything and having a bit of lunch.

Tip: Bring cash/change with you to buy animal feed - watch out for the greedy birds :-) !

Honestly wasn’t expecting too much but was pleasantly surprised. Well maintained and lots of alligators! Shows were corny but cute. The swamp was was impressive if you like nature. Loved all the signs and explanations. Fed the gators multiple ways. Was a good time!

We have been to Orlando twice now as a family and came here both times. On our latest visit we left here until the final day but I wish we came here more than just once this visit. I must admit I enjoy here more than the parks. My favourite part was walking through the lagoon part and a Raccoon followed us all the way through. I can't wait to visit again.

We had a really fun day out here. Lots to explore and lots of walking. We paid extra for the swamp buggy ride/tour though- what a let down. Very disappointed with this, but the rest of the day was great. The shows throughout were also good fun and very brave demonstrations.

"Great Fun"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed February 16, 2020 NEW
Had a few days with my husband before a convention. Decided to show him some of the other sights of Orlando besides a theme park. Used the Orlando Explorer pass and chose Gatorland since all the other choices were kid oriented. What we thought would be a cheesy gator park turned out to be a fun filled day. My last visit was 30 years ago when I was a kid and this park was a pond and some gator pits. They have since expanded to make this place more of a preserve. Beyond seeing gators the size of buses, the amount of birds and wildlife here made the whole experience very "Florida" We spent an extra $15/person to do the "Swamp Buggy" ride and had the time of our lives. The two ladies running the show were hilarious!! And even though we were speeding over bumps and turns, it is appropriate for all ages. As adults, we were able to entertain ourselves for almost the entire day there.

"Great Day Out with the Kiddos"
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5
Reviewed February 16, 2020 NEW
This isn't as educational as it used to be, which I loved, and the humour is a bit TOO corny...but still a great place to visit with young children. Go early so the gators are still hungry. They were a bit lackluster at feeding time later in the day. This was a day off from the crowd and rush of the Disney complex. Worth the investment with a 6, 5, and 3 year old in tow.
