I would certainly recommend Gatorland as a great day out, i have been to Orlando on a few occasions and this was my first visit to here. A great price at $25 pp and we had a coupon for $2.50 off per person (this paid for the train ride all day). Lots to do in the park and see it... More

We were lost and delayed so we ended up getting there about an hour before they closed and they gave us 1/2 price admission! Even though we only had an hour, we saw the end of one show and still caught the last big jumparoo show of the day. The gators were not hungry at all but it was funny... More

Our son is captivated by crocodiles, so this was a must see for us. The shows were entertaining, the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, and the gators were awesome!! Brandon was especially helpful to us. My children also enjoyed the train ride. We feel like it was a great value for what we paid.

Gatorland is an amazing place! It still has a small town feel to it. It is much different then when I visited with my mother in 1996, however, it has only grown in good ways from what I saw! The employees were all very helpful, without high pressure. The Zip line guides, Benji and Matt, were awesome! It was my... More

One bathroom for the entire park and my GF informed me that they only had one working stall. The mens room was like a wayside bathroom on a deserted highway. Besides the shows it was neat. the first show ended with a flop when none of the gators wanted to eat. We left and had the whole park to ourselves.... More
