Description

from Gatorland
For over 74 years, Gatorland has been creating family fun, smiles, and special memories for millions of visitors who have entered through its world-famous gator mouth entrance.

Located on the South Orange Blossom Trail between Orlando and Kissimmee, Gatorland is one of Central Florida's classic attractions and bills itself as Orlando's best half-day attraction providing 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 125-acre theme park and wildlife preserve, combining "Old Florida" charm with exciting, new exhibits and entertainment.

Known internationally as the "Alligator Capital of the World®," Gatorland provides affordable, family fun showcasing thousands of alligators and crocodiles, including 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 first visit, won't be your last!

Get up close and personal with gators, crocs, birds, turtles, zebu, deer, and more! Enjoy one-of-a-kind shows and animal exhibits. Feed the lovable animals at the petting zoo and the aviary. Check out 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.

Screamin’ Gator Zipline
Clip in and zip off on an exciting outdoor adventure with the Screamin' Gator Zip Line at Gatorland. Your journey will take you along 1,200 feet of high- flying, heart-pounding adventure from some of the finest zip line towers in the world. Standing over seven stories tall, these amazing towers feature multilevel launch pads and breathtaking views from high above the treetops. Enjoy 5 ziplines at speeds near 30 miles per hour during this thrilling 2-hour experience!

Gator Jumparoo Show
Thrills and chills abound as some of the largest alligators in the world actually jump four to five feet out of the water to retrieve food in this famous one-of-a-kind show. Learn more about alligators and crocodiles and their awesome powers. Watch as giant alligators jump high enough out of the water to actually snatch food from the trainer's hand. A must-see for the entire family!

Alligators – Legend of the Swamp show
Watch as one of the bravest daredevils at Gatorland takes the stage with a 6-8 foot alligator to demonstrate this legendary creature's amazing survival features! This show is not to be missed!

Up Close Encounters
You never know what kind of animal you might be introduced to next at the Up-close Encounters Show! You'll get to meet fascinating creatures from around the globe as well as Florida's native wildlife - including some of the most dangerous snakes alive!

Night Shine Tour
Experience the sights and sounds of alligators lurking in the water just a few feet away on this unique and exciting 1.5-hour night tour. Armed with just a flashlight and pieces of croc chow, walk along the winding wooden walkways of Gatorland's alligator breeding marsh. Hear the night sounds of all around — the rustling of feathers overhead, the splashing of water below. Turn a flashlight toward the water to see hundreds of hungry, glowing red eyes slowly moving closer. It’s feeding time!

"Good price"
August 2023
We bought 4 tickets and got good discount on Tripster. The agents at the ticketing booth says it may take time for the tickets to show online if bought on Tripster but I still bought on Tripster and right away they were visible and ready to be redeemed. Thanks. God bless and guide us all to the right path and we worship Him alone and thank Him for countless blessings. Visit a mosque and be connected to our Creator and be successful in both worlds.

"Gatorific!!"
August 2023
Even if you don't think Gators are "your thing" a trip to Gatorland could change all of that! This place is fun, entertaining and educational! Catch a live show where they wrestle a gator or one where they introduce people to other exotic animals. The staff is fun and knowledgeable. The gift shop is great! It truly is great for all ages! Oh yeah, and gator is delicious!! Try their snack area!

"Great for older folk"
June 2023
I loved it more than Disney. One of the biggest reasons is the plentiful seating available. As a senior citizen, I had 0 back pain at the end of the day.
I loved the alligator shows, and I learned so much information. Great place.

Tip: Our 4 year old granddaughter ziplined over the gators and loved it! Make sure to watch the alligator show.

We just visited Florida and decided to go to Gatorland. We used the Tripster coupon for a discount. I was nervous because I had never used this company before. Once I completed my transaction, the tickets instantly appeared in my email.??
