Nice place to visit. The walkways were mostly covered, so when we had a afternoon shower, we did not get very wet. Nice shows. More

While we enjoyed seeing lots of alligators, etc., but the reptiles are pretty dormant in cold weather. It was mid-sixties and windy. They couldn't make the gators do anything but lie in the sun. We got in on a February discount. I would have felt very ripped off to pay full price! More

Gatorland is an old Florida theme park, which gives visitors a glance at Florida outside of tourist areas and t-shirt stands. It is a must see for anyone visiting the Orlando area that needs a break from Disney, Sea World and Universal. Things at Gatorland are at a slower pace with three shows (a gator wrestling show, a gator jumping... More

Would highly recommend Gatorland. Wonderful-took our 10, 12 and 14 year old niece and nephews. All three enjoyed the park and all of the three shows. The oldest nephew loved the Zip-Line. If you want to see gators than you will get some unbelievable shots and photos. I am not that excited about some zoos but I felt that the... More

This is a place that helps alligators and makes money at the same time. You will be amazed at the number and types of animals on the property. We also did the zipline . . . what a hoot! Watch out for the walk way at the end though. It is scary. All the staff are helpful, fun and knowledgable.... More

Gatorland was a pleasant surprise. Spent half day there topping off our week vacation disney cruising and relaxing in Orlando before heading to the airport. Wow, what an impression walking in! Juvenile gators - dozens and dozens! Then HUGE gators in larger ponds. And MORE and MORE gators and crocs everywhere! You almost think that they are not real, but... More

Gatorland is a fun gator themed animal rescue park. It was amazing to see that many alligators in one place; all different shapes and sizes. There are also an abundance of very interesting birds, and a really great outdoor observation tower. The park also has other animals; a small aviary area, a bunch of different kinds of snakes on display,... More

Myself and 3 friends decided to go to Gatorland for the first time even though we have lived in Central Florida for many years. The only reason was for their zipline as those of us in Florida see lots of gators...(although they do have some HUGE gators) We used a groupon that had no real restrictions or otherwise reasons for...
