Gatorland, Orlando

Gatorland is known as the “alligator capital of the world”. Whilst it says what it is on the tin, there is so much else to do and see at this laid back attraction away from the madness of the major theme parks. Gatorland boasts of course hundreds of alligators, as well as a breeding marsh, petting zoo, aviary, nature trail, reptilian shows and other animal exhibits. Last year they opened Gator Gully, a cute splash park where the kids could cool off and have some fun in the water amid the day out at Gatorland. Gator Gully is located within the existing Gatorland park, and is free with your regular Gatorland ticket.

the shows were awesome and my son was able to hold baby alligator and snakes.. got his pic taken serveral times with the gators and ect, he loved it there, train ride wasn't worth it.

i thought it would be interesting, but it was so boring!!! oh, well... i'm never going back! they told us some stuff about gators, and we saw alot of animals, but i'm not a out doorsy person...

Gatorland is loaded with charm and is a welcome change from the other local theme parks.

The shows are great and fun. The kids really love it! The train ride is not worth the money. It takes you around the back of the park and you don't see anything, but staged dummies and a fake skeleton of an alligator.

There's so much to see; lots of things to buy...even got to feed a gator. It was a really different experience. Living in Canada, we don't get to see things like these!
