What to Expect during Your Visit to Gatorland

During your time at Gatorland, tour the park aboard the Gatorland Express and see the top attractions that make Gatorland the "alligator capital of the world.” After your tour, explore Florida’s nature and wildlife along Swamp Walk, Gatorland’s 2,000-square-foot boardwalk.

Gatorland Express

Climb aboard the Gatorland Express, the park’s miniature, open-air locomotive, and see the highlights of the park. Thousands of alligator and crocodiles call Gatorland their home. Meet crocodiles in Jungle, Cuban, Saltwater and Nile exhibits and alligators like Pops, the park’s giant alligator. White Gator Swamp is home to rare white alligators, ten to 12 feet in length and weighing over 800 pounds. See Florida panthers as you pass by Panther Springs, featuring an observation area that allows guests to view panthers up-close through a wall of glass. Feast your eyes on massive snakes in the park’s Pythons and Snakes of Florida exhibits. Meet and learn about giant tortoises in the park’s Giant Tortoise exhibit, housing some of the largest tortoise species in the world. Bobcat Bayou lets visitors come face to face with the bobcats that call Gatorland home. The Bird Rookery, originally created in 1991 as an alligator breeding marsh, has become one of the largest and most accessible wading bird rookeries in Florida. Nearby the Bird Rookery are the park’s Emu Enclosure and Flamingo Island. The park’s Ol’ Owl House is home to a number of different owl species like the great horned owl and eastern screech owl. In the Raccoon Hut you will find mischievous, bandit-masked raccoons.

Swamp Walk

Gatorland’s Swamp Walk winds through the wonderful Florida wetlands. Get lost down the raised wooden walkway. As you move deeper into the wetlands, you will encounter hundreds of plants like hyacinths, magnolia trees bursting with light, a 500-year-old Cypress and a marsh that serves as the headwaters to the Florida Everglades.

The Gator Wrestlin’ Show

Live entertainment awaits you at Gatorland. The Gator Wrestlin’ Show, in a shaded 800 seat stadium, features gator wranglers. Watch the gator wranglers as they catch six to eight foot alligators by hand and perform stunts with them, like rolling them onto their backs, putting them to sleep and waking them with a tickle.
