When I first read about going to Gatorland, I was skeptical. Sounded like a tourist trap. C'mon, an alligator park? Man, was I wrong. We took our three, theme-park jaded tweens (12, 12, and 11) and watched their eyes light up as we came to our first pond full of gators - active gators, swimming, walking, and seemingly enjoying the... more

and got an education on alligators. There are no thrilling rides here but the park is clean, the staff is great, the shows are fun, and there are lots and lots of gators. I walked through the swamp area with my 9 year old grandson and got close to nature . This is a true Florida experiance!!! more

My husband and I visited Gatorland (no children) in May of 2009 and absolutely loved it. It was surprisingly clean and the gators and other creatures looked well cared for which whas HUGELY important to me. Yes, there was gator wrestling which I don't agree with and therefore did not watch. It was not perfect. But for the most part... more

Uncrowded and a bit hokey as everyone has said. But after doing Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Seaworld and waterparks it was THIS attaction that our 10 year old son and his friend talked about the most after we got home. They LOVED having their picture taken holding an alligator and watching the alligators jump. more

My kids (ages 8, 6 and 6) loved Gatorland. We actually enjoyed it better than Disneyworld. It was a lot less crowded and our entire family got in cheaper than one of us would have to Disneyworld. My kids are big into animals and there were alligators everywhere you looked. It was incredible how close we were able to get... more

We went in June, 09 and despite the heat it was very enjoyable. My kids still talk about it today and want to go back next year. They loved the gator wrestling and the gator jumping show. I was a little leary at first, but once we got there and saw how much the kids liked it, it was very... more

We went to Gatorland in September and really had a good time. Its kind of a neat little park where you can really see the alligators up close. You can feed them, and see them in their natural habitat. They also have shows going on throughout the day. My favorite was the alligator wrestling. It was very interesting an educational.... more

Gatorland was a fun, clean park to visit. The staff was friendly and the exhibits were excellent. I went there to shoot some photos and got some amazing ones before I left. I will definitely return next time I'm in Orlando more

My parents are party-poopers, but I convinced them that they needed to see at least something here in Orlando. My mom thought Gatorland sounded interesting. I had heard that it was a bit hokey. Upon entering the park you are greeted by a big pool full of gators. Watched the Gator Jumparoo show which was very entertaining and my favorite... more
