Three Reasons To Visit Gatorland On A Florida Vacation

If youre hoping to catch a glimpse of an alligator on your Florida vacation

, make a bee line straight for Gatorland. Located about 15-20 minutes from Walt Disney World on Hwy 441, at Gatorland youll find the perfect theme park for a gator lover on a Florida vacation.

When you arrive at Gatorland, the first thing youll notice is the giant alligator mouth entrance of the park. Its rather hard not to miss, with its huge white teeth and long pink tongue. From there youll be spending this leg of your Florida vacation in a 110-acre wildlife preserve chalk full of cranky crocodiles and alligators.

For the gator fans in your party, take in reptilian shows on your Florida vacation to Gatorland, go on a swamp walk and take an invigorating stroll along a boardwalk that goes right through a breeding marsh.

The following are our favorite activities for reptile fans on a Florida vacation:

You can be an animal trainer for a day

How would you like to hold a baby alligator on your Florida vacation? From holding the little ones to working with the big suckers, this experience lets you see what the gator trainers go through from day to day. At the end of this experience youll get to meet some reptilian actors on your Florida vacation, at the Upclose Encounters Show. Youll even get the chance to work with a real, live Gatorland trainer in the Gator Wrestling Arena. Of course this isnt too dangerous an activity for your Florida vacation because youll be perfectly safe working with a professional trainer. But it will send your heart racing just the same!

You can watch gators in the moonlight

Want a real adrenaline rush on your Florida vacation? Something you will never forget so long as you live? Well then, grab a flashlight and stroll along the Alligator Breeding Marsh boardwalk at night. Every sound - a splash in the water, overhead wing flight - will have you on the tip of your toes. What a thrilling adventure for your Florida vacation this would be! Especially when you shine your flashlight on the water only to see hundreds of glowing, red eyes creeping closer and closer to you. Dont worry. What did you think the hot dogs were for? Eating yourself? No, theyre to appease the gators.

Be part of Adventure Hour

On your Florida vacation, how would you like to gain access to a swamp area thats normally closed to the public. If you chose to walk the boardwalk trail on this part of your Florida vacation, why not now step right into the Breeding Marsh? This is where you get to feed alligators, have your photo taken and see what happens behind-the-scenes at Gatorland. Sound like something youd like to experience on your Florida vacation? Gatorland is located at 14501 South Orange Blossom Trail. For more information call 800-393-JAWS.
