Gatorland Entrance
Gatorland Entrance
You can see alligators, crocodiles, snakes and birds up close and personal when you visit Gatorland, the Alligator Capital of the World. Kids will be enthralled when they walk through the giant gator mouth to enter this 110-acre theme park and wildlife preserve.
If shows like Animal Planet and the Crocodile Hunter leave you yearning to experience these fascinating animals for yourself, then Gatorland is just waiting for you! You'll get a good glimpse of Alligator Island - home of the park's largest reptiles - and you may even get to see Alf, an American alligator whose 15 feet long and weighs over 1,000 pounds! Many tropical birds also await you at Alligator Island, but if it's bird of the pink variety you're after, look no further than Flamingo Lagoon, home to a colony of American Flamingos. There are flocks of birds waiting for you to feed them (nominal fee) at the Very Merry Aviary and prepare to make some slithery friends at the Snakes of Florida exhibit.

For the little ones, there's Lilly's Pad play area and the petting zoo at Allie's Barnyard. Need a break from the Nature experience for a couple hours? Take a train ride or take in a one-of-a-kind show -- you can see a giant crocodile jump several feet out of the water! Bring the whole family to Gatorland and enjoy a day of fun, sun and, of course, alligators!

Trainer for a Day
If you are traveling to Central Florida - make sure you spend a day at Gatorland. My twelve year old and myself took part in the Trainer for a Day program - it was a birthday gift for him. IT WAS WELL WORTH THE MONEY !!!! We got up close and personal (holding, feeding, wrestling) the gators and a ton more of hands on with other creatures. This was an experience of a lifetime. Our guide was great and took the time to answer all of my families questions. Disney is always great - but knock a day off the park hopper and make arrangements to do the Trainer for a Day at Gatorland. The staff is Gatorland is very friendly and couldn't do enough for us.

This is an awesome place,it is very educational about all of its animals. The only negative comment i have, is we went to the little outdoor resturant there and there was one worker, whom was very very rude. Other than that it is an awesome place.

-RondaJ W., Pittsburg Ks.
We went to Gatorland last August during our Family Vacation and it was still the greatest. I had spent a lot of time in Florida as a child and visited Gatorland several times each summer. It felt good when my children had their pictures taken in front of the entrance and I placed them next to the picture I had of myself in the same spot 30 years ago. Gatorland is timeless and it always offers something new each time you go, we will be visiting again this August and can't wait to take another generation of pictures when we go this time.
