Enjoy a day of family fun and adventure at Gatorland. This Florida theme park and wildlife reserve is touted as the 'Alligator Capital of the World,' featuring thousands of alligators, crocodiles, birds and snakes. With your admission ticket, you have access to reptile shows, the aviary, educational programs and more. Round-trip hotel transport from Orlando is included.
You'll be picked up from your Orlando or Kissimmee hotel and taken on a 30-minute drive to Gatorland, where you'll spend the day exploring this 110-acre (45-hectare) theme park and wildlife reserve at your leisure.
Home to thousands of alligators, crocodiles, birds and snakes, Gatorland features regular reptile shows (see Itinerary for details), an aviary, a breeding marsh with an observation tower, educational wildlife programs, train rides, a gift shop and more. Go on a nature walk, cross over the swamps and marshes, and stop by the new Gator Gully Splash Park for some wet 'n' wild fun with the kids. There's something for everyone at Gatorland.
Upgrade: Screamin' Gator Zip Line With this upgrade, glide along 1,200 feet (365 meters) of ziplines over Gatorland's alligator and crocodile marsh! Catch incredible bird's-eye views of alligators and crocodiles as you soar over the treetops seven stories up in the air.
The transport to Gatorland was a bit confusing because the bus that picks us at the hotels actually takes customers for diverse attractions to a same general pickup point which where smaller buses then take the various groups to their respective destinations. Therefore the driver took a while to find out I was the one he was picking up at my hotel because he announced Space Kennedy Center instead of Gatorland. Had he called my name instead he would have immediately found me. Apart from that everything else was excellent.

A zoo specialized in alligators, crocodiles and similars. The zipline passes over some alligators.

Gatorland made a refreshing change from the other theme parks. Don't miss the opportunity to be up close to these fantastic animals. I would point out that the description says hotel pick up but in practice we had to meet at a pick up point.

Excellent price, driver was friendly, had more than enough time at Gatorland to do everything we wanted to do, would definitely recommend using this tour company

The website states pick up from your hotel should happen around 10 am. I had to call the tour operator a couple of times to find out when pick up should happen. A night before my tour I learned it will be at 8 AM sharp from downtown Disney and I am responsible to get there on time on my own. I failed to do so. Called the tour operator and was told if I manage to get to Gatorland by 9 AM they will meet me there and give me my ticket. I took a cab. and learned that Gatorlannd will be opening at 10 am. So I spent an hour outside of the attraction. When tour operator arrived with the rest of the tourists our entire party was asked to stend in line for the tickets! Finally we got the tickets and the rest of the day went fine. I will never have a vacation with this tour operator again!!

This tour we found could be combined with the Boggy Creek airboat rides by the operator of this tour Dolphin Tours..for an additional cost of $20.00 per person..we did this and were very pleased…Viator should look into this….after all its the same bus and driver for the original booked Gatorland tour..

Park is good but they stuffed up our pick up, had to get a cab out to the park
Review by: julie t, April 2012
very interesting although 5 an a half hours was too much time to b there as everything is close together. The parrots were the best as you could feed them with a popsicle that cost $1. The parrots would go on your hand and eat the seeds on the popsicle for ages. Also enjoyed observing the crocodiles swimming in the huge lake. Would recommend this trip to any florida visitors.

This is a nice park , with some great shows , gator wrestling is really good , and the hosts very funny , when we went some of park was closed off , hence only 3 stars , they should charge less or at least give free train rides around park , as this was extra and annoys me when parks do this ,only about 5 hours time here , unless you have small kids as there is a small water splash area that's a nice touch , gift shop was large , and food ok about 3 dollars for hot dog , cheaper than most parks

Well worth the money! After we booked it via Viator we were asked to confirm our booking immediately with the local touring company which we did, and then onwards it was a smooth sailing enjoyable trip. The local tour called us a day in advance at our hotel and told us our pick-up time. The vehicle arrived on the dot and dropped us at Gatorland park entrance. The diver gave us some orientation about the park and that's was it, there was no personal guide. We enjoyed the day thoroughly! It was a welcome break from the other crowded theme parks. The park staff is simply awesome. After the park closed at 5.00pm we went outside and found our pick-up vehicle already waiting for us, very prompt and efficient service. Highly recommended!

I thought Gatorland was an awesome experience. Excellent reptile and bird viewing. I recommend the gator feeding pool, because, really where else can you do this! The shows were really entertaining and ran frequently enough. Their gift shop rocks. I highly recommend Gatorland as an original place to visit.
