Gatorland is an attraction in Orlando, Florida, in the United States, billing itself as the "Alligator Capital of the World." It combines the excitement of a theme park with wildlife education, centred on the reptiles that give the place its name: alligators and crocodiles, kept in large numbers.
What a visit offers
- A chance to see thousands of alligators and crocodiles up close, in a setting designed around the animals.
- The Screamin' Gator Zip Line, for visitors who want a more energetic part of the day.
- Educational content about the animals, suited to families and to anyone curious about reptiles.
The mix of thrills and learning makes it a different kind of outing from a typical Orlando attraction. Those who enjoy wildlife may find the time with the animals the most rewarding part, while those who want action can head straight for the zip line.
