We were fortunate because there was a FL resident special. and we paid entrance for all, including two zip lines and train ride for all LESS than a single park hopper at... More

Gatorland was real surprise. The staff was pleasant and fun. We especially enjoyed the opportunity to walk through an unspoiled swamp. We were able to follow an winding wooden walkway for a half mile and in spite of the crowds at the entry, were able to achieve a sense of wonder at its natural beautly and a feeling of isolation....

Took the grand kids on vacation in Orlando June 2013. It was in the 90's the entire week. Gatorland has a lot of covered areas so the heat is not so unbearable. We were very pleasantly surprised at this place. Very clean, staff was so friendly and helpful. Lots to see and not just 'gators although they are pretty awesome.... More

My family spend a wonderful day here on our vacation to Orlando! Great shows, and amazing views of alligators. Park was scenic, and easily navigated. There are also some awesome add ons, like being able to feed the gators, or sit on top of one for a photo op!

Buy the ticket online and save 3 dollars. Avoid going on raining days because the swamp walk will be close. Little kids will love this place. The only negative things I can think of is the wild birds that flocks this place. The shows were good.

We went a few years back and decided to take our children again now that they are older and I have to say that it was even more fun now with the additions! Words can not express how much fun we had! I can't wait to go back! THANK YOU for a wonderful and memorable day!! :~)

Visited Gatorland with family and was more than surprised with the whole experience. A definite stop for any kid or adult with an interest in Alligators. A good tip try to avoid Saturday or Sundays as it was very busy with young kids - also go early as the midday/ afternoon heat can make it seem very humid around the... More

Our family of 5 ( husband, wife, 5 year old twins and Grandma) visited Gatorland on our recent Florida vacation. Even though we have been to Florida many times this was our first time visiting Gatorland. We were very happy that we did. It's a great half day family adventure. A nice way to see the Florida gators! We don't... More

At first, I thought this place was going to be really gimmicky but there was a lot to see and do. The highlight of our day was actually getting up close to the gators and tossing them raw meat to eat (extra fee to participate in this)...it is my son's favorite thing he did the entire trip that included 4...

Took our 10 and 8 year old kids to Gatorland while we were in Orlando last week. I was very surprised how affordable they are compared to your typical Orlando attraction. They also dont price gouge you when you get in...food and drink prices are actually reasonable. The only shows we saw were the gator wrestling and the jumparoo. Both... More
