Gatorland is a 110-acre theme park and wildlife preserve that has been entertaining visitors since 1949. Known as the 'Alligator Capital of the World,' it houses thousands of alligators and crocodiles, along with other animals like snakes, birds, and tortoises. The park offers live shows such as the Gator Jumparoo and the Alligator Wrestling Show, where trainers demonstrate the power and agility of these reptiles. For adrenaline seekers, the Screamin' Gator Zip Line lets you soar over a pit of gators. It's a unique, family-friendly experience that combines education with old-Florida charm.

Don't miss

  • Watch the Gator Jumparoo show where alligators leap out of the water for food.
  • Take the Screamin' Gator Zip Line for a thrilling ride over the alligator breeding marsh.
  • Walk the boardwalk through the swamp to see native wildlife in a natural setting.
