Best Gatorland Day Trips & Things to Do

The self-proclaimed "Gator Capital of the World" is a 110-acre Orlando park with thousands of alligators and crocodiles featured in reptile shows, gator wrestling, petting zoos, a swamp walk, a breeding marsh and a zip line ride. Gatorland was opened in 1949 by Owen Godwin and his family still owns the Florida attraction today. Look for the rare leucistic white alligators and try the Screamin' Gator Zip Line over a pool of alligators if you dare. The park and nature reserve also has an aviary as well as lizards, snakes and turtles. Show All
