Gatorland

I think this is totally a cute place to do something once. I really enjoyed seeing the shows and it was very much geared towards family-friendly fun. The ending show is definitely at an adult humor level which is nice. As two adults, we could see everything in about 3 hours. It was plenty of time. I enjoyed getting to see here but I think that their paid experiences aren't worth the money. Overall, I like what they are doing. The best part of this might have been the signs. They were not only factual but they were entertaining to which is something that doesn't happen often. I could have spent all day reading the information signs

Amazing place to visit if ever in the area! Truly amazing animals you get to see up close and personal as well as participate in interactive shows all day. It’s like nowhere else for gators! All will love it, adults children families on vacation or a day trip. We have visited several times in two states and are always amazed at how big and beautiful these alligators really are! They truly are the dinosaurs of today! They have restrooms fans souvenirs and a great snack stand! You shouldn’t miss out!

I loved every minute of my visot here. I highly recommend the "Trainer for a Day" option. It seems expensive but it is so worth it. Especially if you love Alligators like I do. Casey, my guide, was so knowledgeable, friendly and funny. I was sad when our time with our guide ended because he was so fun. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming and you can tell they love their jobs! I ate lunch at Pearl's Restaurant on site and Denise who rang up my order, was so interesting to chat with and she told me a few things I needed to make sure I saw before leaving! It was a hot day and there were lots of spots around the park to sit and rest and cool down a little. The little coffee stand is in a great little shaded area and I loved jist sitting there with my coffee and looking out at the view with the Gators and birds. The normal price to get in is quite reasonable, the Trainer for a Day was pricey but had great value. And there were a lot of add on opportunities in the park, I think they were reasonably priced for a theme park. I did buy myself a little pink heart necklace for a souvenir. The whole experience was MAGIC!

I have to say I had very low expectations because the place looks crappy from the outside. But we loved it! You can't miss it. We had five hours of fun, and that wasn't even including all the experiences. Not only do they have the shows (which are good!), they have different animals, rescued areas, albino animals, Galapagos tortoises, and wildcats. Beautiful and spacious areas, ziplines, tubing, and climbing. The chance to feed animals. There's a crocodile that appears in an Indiana Jones movie. There's a water area to cool off in, snack areas everywhere, and a restaurant... and at super affordable prices. Gatorade bottles were $3, and food and souvenirs of all prices starting at $2. We only paid for general admission and the experiences separately, in cash or with a credit card. If you have some space in your itinerary and want to spend little but have a great time, you must go to this place! Tip: It's best to go in the morning, since after 3-4pm I think the animals are already full and want to rest. Light clothing.

I came here about 30yrs ago as a child and wanted to bring my kids on our next visit to Florida. I have teenage boys, and they can be hard to please, but I actually think they enjoyed it! The gators are HUGE, the train ride is cool, and we definitely enjoyed the off-road jeep! They've improved and added a lot since my last visit, totally worth it!
