Florida nightlife is about to get wild! Listen to the sounds of the Florida night as you entice Gators almost to your feet. You'll be feeding the alligators some of their favorite food whilst shining your torch at the eyes rising up out of the swamp! For an evening with a difference, head to Gatorland -- the Alligator Capital of the World!
Your Gatorland night shining tour takes you deep into the domain of Florida's most famous reptile, the alligator! Armed with only a flashlight and a few hot dogs, you bravely make your way along the winding wooden walkways of Gatorland's Alligator Breeding Marsh. The sounds of the night come alive around you as the rustle of feathers overhead and the splashing of water nearby signal that you are not alone.
Turning your flashlight towards the water, you suddenly become aware of the hundreds of hungry, glowing, red eyes slowly making their way closer... it's now your turn to experience the "real Florida". A fun and educational tour for kids of all ages, this night tour is one swamp stompin' adventure you don't want to miss!
Loved the tour! we took both the day visit and the night shining tour. We enjoyed the both. The day visit has some interesting shows such as gator jumping for food, and gator wrestling, etc. The private evening show provides an opportunity for us to hold animals -- baby gators, snakes, scorpion, etc. It was super safe. My 5 year old girl held them all! The tour guide Peter was great. He also showed us around the gator farm with flash lights, let us feed gators with hot dogs. the gators are much more active in the evenings. it was quite a sensation watching dozens and dozens gators follow you around for food! Overall an awesome experience!

it was the best,we've been there in the daytime,but the night tour was fantastic.We held creatures some of which you never knew existed.Feeding the gators was a fun time,shining your light across the swamp and seeing all the red eyes. It was great and will do it again.Michael was a great guide.

The night shining tour was great. It is basically a private tour of the park. We got to wrestle with an alligator, hold various reptiles and feed the hungry alligators. We had bought the daytime general admission as well, but I don't recommend it. The nighttime tour was so much more.

The nite tour was tremendous! I would recommend this (and have already) activity to others without any hesitation. George was our guide and did a great job of making my 6 year old boys feel comfortable around the pythons, tarantula, iguana, and alligators. This was definitely a hi lite of our trip to Orlando. I wish I had enough time to go back during the day so we could have enjoyed the property in the daytime. We will definitely do that next year. Thanks again George for being such a great guide.
