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.

This is one of our families favorite places. The shows are really a must see. The grounds are well kept and gated for safety. I love all the animals displays they have beside alligators and the birds flying around are beautiful. I think admission is a little high but still is worth it.

Great family fun!! It was clean, safe and reasonably priced. The shows they offered every hour or so kept everyone interested and encouraged audience participation.

We spent several hours here on our first day in Orlando. My 6 year old daughter loved seeing all the gators and the jumparoo shows. The small water park area they have was an added bonus on the very hot day. I would highly recommend stopping here, its pretty inexpensive compared to the other parks and its entertaining.

Entertaining workers and lots to see. Take a walk through the swamp, see talking parrots, and too many gators to count. Be entertained by gator wrestling, gator feeding, and a reptile show -- all audience interactive.

Very fun place for any animal lover. They have alligators, all different types of birds and many other friendly furry friends at the petting zoo. Just be carefull of the birds when you are feeding the gators. They will snatch the hotdogs right out of your hand litterally😳 Other than that it was a great an fun time!

We really enjoyed this place. The gator wrestling show was fun and they really do have a lot of gators at this location. We thoroughly enjoyed the bird aviary where you enter & for $1 you can feed the parakeets (i.e. budgies). So much fun. The kids can play in the outdoor sprinkler area & there is a snack shack...

We had not high expectations going to Gatorland. But in fact it's a nice park, great for kids, more relaxing that the huge theme parks around. Had a great day, full of interactions with animals, learned interesting things.
