Expert Reviews of Gatorland

Citysearch | Perhaps no theme park in Orlando leaves you with a more indelible memory of Florida.

Yelp.com Review - by Kim J.

3.0 of 5 stars. Let me start off by saying that I enjoyed my visit to Gatorland, as I like alligators. That being said, as other reviewers have mentioned, there were a few disturbing elements I didn't care for:

HUGE Alligators & Crocodiles!

The HUGE Alligators and Crocs were my favorite part of the park. Its got great boardwalks to give everyone good views of the animals. A must-see for anyone who likes Alligators and Crocs, IMHO. A good value...

Fantastic half day attraction

This is a great way to spend half a day and with their latest additions it's becoming more of a whole day attraction. We had a great time seeing "the real Florida" here. There is a large lake with boardwalks...

Yelp.com Review - by Jenna C.

3.0 of 5 stars. First of all, the picture someone posted of a chicken tender freaked the hell out of me when I first looked up "Gatorland" on yelp. WTF? All right, on with the review. Gatorland, oh how you try so…

Yelp.com Review - by Samantha Z.

3.0 of 5 stars. Gator Jumparoo is fun to watch. All staffs are very friendly. Other two shows are not that exciting. Actually, watching tourists put their new born babies on top of a live gator for pictures after the…

5.0 of 5 stars. There's a lot to do here: The gator wrestling was way cool; the jumparoo for the chickens was fun; the train tour that takes you around the whole park'; the bird feedings; the gator feeding, where you…

Yelp.com Review - by Merrill M.

4.0 of 5 stars. Campy yet educational, Gatorland is a nice relief from the other theme parks in the area. Check out the gator wrestling and the gator feeding (jumparoo). Wander around the park, and spend a few…

Yelp.com Review - by Tim L.

4.0 of 5 stars. Gatorland is definitely a spot not to be missed. There aren't too many places in the world where you can get so darn close to Alligators in a controlled environment (so you hope). If you're lucky you…

5.0 of 5 stars. My husband and I were looking for an attraction that wasn't ride or movie orientated. Gatorland was the perfect fit! They have a petting zoo, which have lots of different animals from pigs to birds.…

Yelp.com Review - by Martha Z.

4.0 of 5 stars. My definition of a pretty old school Orlando area attraction. Gatorland offers a variety of excitement including flamingo watching, gator nuggets, a train ride, petting zoo, animal shows, gators,…

4.0 of 5 stars. Bat guano essence near the entrance. Bird poop from the nesting grounds that happen to cover the main walkway. Raw hot dog juice all over you from feeding the gators. Apparently the fish in the brown,…

4.0 of 5 stars. OH YEAH! Let's go 'rassle some gators! Come on, let's not get too carried away, Ryan. Gatorland is a realistic swamp habitat for some of the oldest creatures on earth. Gator wrestling just happens to…

Overpriced

Way overpriced for what you get. Better to go to Disney or ANY other place than this. Is an expensive borefest.
