Gatorland is so much more than just alligators at a price that won’t put a “bite” on your vacation experience! Located between Orlando and Kissimmee, just 15 minutes from the Orlando International Airport, Gatorland is one of Central Florida's classic attractions and provides a unique and natural alternative to the larger theme parks of today. At 110- acres, you’ll find something for everyone with thousands of alligators, an aviary, an incredible breeding marsh and bird rookery, petting zoo, nature walk, award-winning gift shop, and one-of-a-kind reptilian shows including the Alligators; Legends of the Swamp show, Gator Jumparoo, and the Up-close Encounters Show. Don’t miss the White Gator Swamp with extremely rare giant white alligators, the Gatorland Express train and then head over to Gator Gully Splash Park where kids of all ages can have a blast cooling off! Looking for a little excitement, zip off on the Screamin’ Gator Zip Line, voted the Number One zip line in Orlando by readers of Orlando Weekly. Don't miss Central Florida's wildest ride - the Stompin' Gator Off-road Adventure and take a trip through real Florida wetlands and into a huge pond of real alligators! No other ride like this in the whole entire world! They also offer groups and private events from 10-1000!
