I went to Gatorland just last week. The place is OK, a lot of alligators, but that's it. The shows are ok, but just long 15 minutes each. there are just 3 shows in the mornings, and repeat the same shows in the afternoon. $10 for a picture with the alligators is too much, $25 for the Zip lined is...

We visited Gatorland during Spring Break and did Zip ling. The experience was amazing and exhilarating because we zip lined above the gators. The only thing that I didn't like is that they discourage you to take your cameras and cell phones even though it is safely tucked in the pockets.The reason was they want people to buy their CD'S...

Overall we enjoyed the quirkiness of this place. The staff were on the whole friendly and the informative signs around the place are light hearted. We went an hour and a half before closing time so got half price entry, however we'd been excited at the prospect of zip-lining but hadn't factored that this would be around $70 dollars per... More

$25 for adults to get in simply cannot be justified. Yes there are a large number of Gators to see, and yes it's an experience but after that there really isn't much else to warrant the entrance fee. A number of live shows take place, one of which is calling "jumping Gators" - a complete misrepresentation of what actually happens,... More

Despite having visited Orlando several times before we have never been to Gatorland, so this time we decided to give it a try. The first thing I liked was that you didn't have to pay for car parking like you do in most theme parks in Orlando! When paying for entry to the park you have the option of paying... More

We really enjoyed Gatorland. The exhibits are really nice and they just added a pair of Florida Panthers, too. There is a petting zoo, wild animal show, gator wrestling show, and a small water park. Don't forget the swimsuits for little children if you visit...they will definitely want to play in the water park! There is an outdoor restaurant that... More

My family loved Gatorland! The park is very laid back and if you are an animal lover than you will love this place. Gators, birds, turtles, goats, snakes, you name it they had it. The shows they put on are very entertaining! They also offer a train ride around the park, zip lining, and have many photo opportunities available! The... More

Went to the park with 2 young grandkids. Great spot for family fun. Alligators fun to watch, and tons of different species of birds. Gator wrestling was a hoot. Even had a petting zoo for the kids. All in all a pleasant experience. Would recommend this park for visitors who want to spend a fun afternoon with the family.

We visited Gatorland in 2009 but wanted to return this time around. So glad we did!!! They've added attractions such as a zip line, white alligator exhibit and petting zoo. We got the Grunt Package which included train ride, alligator wrestling, alligator food and admission. We really enjoyed our day visiting again!!!

It was a fun and relaxing day! Lots of baby birds! It is worth seeing if you are interested in Florida, it's not all about the theme parks. The beer is better than the food, yes, you can buy beer there if you choose to do so. Parking is free. It was a great day.
