Experiences

Fans of ziplines will want to save time for Screamin’ Gator Zipline! and Gator Gauntlet Zipline! for a ride through the trees and views of the area. Stay late for Gator Night Shine, in which guides take you along the winding wooden walkways of Gatorland’s Alligator Breeding Marsh so that you can use a flashlight to watch alligators eat and relax.

Animals

Alligators are not the only animals you will get to check out when you visit Gatorland. Crocodiles, snakes, and tortoises also call this park home and will make great additions to your photo collection. Make time for a stop by the capybaras, birds, and wild cats, especially if you are visiting with kids who love animals.
