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)
Dale AndrewsFebruary 21, 2017
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!
Roberto CamachoAugust 30, 2015
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.

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!

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!

One of the best low key attractions in Florida. Really enjoyed myself and so did the family 🐊
Arwen McCaffreyAugust 24, 2010
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

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.

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 ADecember 24, 2011
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 YuukiJuly 27, 2015
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 DatoonNovember 2, 2015
A must place to visit. Zip line is really good with the friendliest staff
Sarah ScottNovember 14, 2010
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 NoorJuly 1, 2017
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.
HISTORYApril 26, 2010
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 BardwellJanuary 3, 2010
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
Isadore CalderonJanuary 26, 2013
Take a swamp tour and learn how to wrestle an alligator.- Gatorland, Orlando, Florida Visit the land of all things reptile: Central Florida's Gatorland.

Amazing place must visit if you visit Florida
John L.July 25, 2019
Kids had lots of fun. Make sure you wear sneakers if you want to do the zip line.
Cathie LopezNovember 11, 2013

Elissa PetruzzielloMarch 26, 2013
Wonderful! Much cleaner and nicer than I remember. Staff was wonderful. Anxious to go back.
Matt JohnstonMarch 20, 2013
This place is a must see, you'll never see that many Gators in one place, simply amazing!!
Scott PJanuary 29, 2012
Absolutely great park. Super collection of alligators and crocodiles. Be sure to find the saltwater crocodile.
Fox ForlenzaMarch 17, 2013
Had an awesome time doing the zip line! Well worth the price, considering how long the adventure was!
Professor Twain 🚬🚬⚾⚾March 18, 2016
Gator wrestling, fried gator, train ride, feeding haters are the best!

Old school Florida attraction, will not disappoint. Watch for discounts for Florida residents
Chris BurnsJanuary 9, 2014
Showed up 2 hrs before closing. Got in for half price. Enough time to do the park. Awesome
Raquel OsborneMarch 29, 2017
The zip was fun, but not worth full price. This is a fun place to kill about half a day!
Kelly ParedesOctober 7, 2012
Buy the gator chow (hotdogs). Get 10 bags. Feeding gators never gets old.
Matt JohnstonMarch 20, 2013
A MUST SEE ATTRACTION, go find the saltwater crocs and Chester the dog eater.
Robb LutherMarch 8, 2015
Watch the Close Encounters show. Very funny... very well done.
LimoBank ServicesJanuary 4, 2013
Don't hold bait in hand near big carnivorous birds...or else get bitten! Aggressive birds ;)
Halcyon ShoreOctober 19, 2011
Bring a camera and be patient. Sometimes gators move around and other times.... they don't! But it's ALWAYS fun!
jw de wJuly 19, 2013
Bit difficult to find, coming from Clermont, FL. Tip: use zipcode for navigation instead of just the address.
Kathy SMarch 24, 2014
The aviary is so fun! Be sure to check it out!
Natasha JoshuaJuly 26, 2018
Bring your Florida I.d for half off! And don’t skip the shows

A must visit if you are in the Orlando area.. So worth the money.
PeterMay 6, 2011
SO great. Make sure you get a picture riding a gator. $10, and worth it.

They have amazing birthday parties.

The photo booth is always running specials on the pictures. They are the most affordable theme park pictures around!
RonnieJune 10, 2012
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.
