Trying to avoid the theme parks and Orlando attractions we have been to repeatedly, we followed the good reviews to Gatorland. We had six people ranging from 8 to 49 and everyone had fun. You are able to get really close to the gators and crocs and that makes it fun. The shows are very entertaining. Get to the Jump-a-roo... more

We read the reviews before we went and thought we would give this a try. It was a nice relaxing day, seeing lots of the varying sizes of gators and lots of other wildlife (turtles, birds, fish, crocs, farm animals). The park is smaller attraction, but with plenty to keep you occupied for half a day.The shows were short, but... more

Decided to go here to show the kids some different wildlife. The park was very clean, the gators seemed well fed, though I wouldn't want to press my luck with them. We saw most of the main exhibits, skipped the walking trail. Fed the gators and watched the gator wrestling. I thought the animals appeared to be healthy and well... more

I didn't expect to enjoy Gatorland as much as I did, since I don't care anything about alligators. It was fun, though, and we did spend about 4 hours there, as predicted by other reviewers. The shows were kind of hokey, but the performers seemed to enjoy their jobs and were friendly (we saw them walking around the park and... more

Gatorland, is alot of fun. It has a great water area for the kids, and plenty of views of gators were you can actually see them. The shows were great. The trainride was good. Coupons for 2.50 off are everywhere. All the employees were really friendly. Get a refillable drink, much cheaper than from the vending machines, and you get... more

This was one of the coolest places I have never heard of before! There were several shows - jumping gators, gator wrestling, and close encounters (where I actually HELD a huge python). Thousands of gators throughout the place, train rides, water play area (which is small enough to sit on the sidelines and keep track of your kids but big... more

My entire family enjoyed Gatorland. The shows were fun - we laughed heartily, and my three young girls loved seeing all the alligators and other wildlife up close. We made sure they came with their bathing suits, so they could enjoy the small sprinkler park on site. They had a blast! My 65 year old mom had her picture taken... more

I went to Gatorland about 20 years ago when my sister worked there, and remember it as a really sketchy, un-Disney experience. We went back this weekend with friends and their kids (ages 4 and 6) and actually had a wonderful time! Gatorland toes the line between over-the-top theme park and zoo. On the one hand, you can watch gator... more

We totally loved gatorland!!! The shows are fantastic - the guys that wrestle with alligators, put on the feeding show, and the interactive animal shows are wonderful and entertaining! There are tons of gators to see and other animals. You can hold a snake, lizard and get a pic with a gator! You can even have gator for lunch! Although... more
