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. More

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

I took my 3 boys to Gatorland (May 2012). We got there shortly after they opened and spent the entire day there until they closed. There was plenty to do for the entire day and we enjoyed seeing all the animals. I wish the shows had been a little more educational, but they were entertaining. I thought the price was... More

Dedinately a place to go if you want to see alligators and more alligators and more alligators. The Albino alligators are awesome and the feeding show was cool. But after awhile it got boring looking at alligators. I recommend it to everyone! More

My husband and I went here to enjoy Florida Residents Days. There is a ten dollars entrance fee if you live in Florida until the end of June. Otherwise the fee is less than thirty. This is a very pleasant park to visit. It was definitely ran old school style! You could actually get quite close to the animals and... More

My husband and I thought we would do the night tour. It was fantastic. We were lucky and the only 2 there meaning we had our own guide, were able to hold a gator and a snake (well he did)The best part was being allowed to feed the gators out in the pond with hotdogs, being at night you could...
