Gatorland is a one-of-a-kind, protected conservation habitat where you’ll find unexpected adventures around every corner! Well-known as the Alligator Capital of the World, Gatorland’s 110-acre theme park and nature conservatory is located in Central Florida at the head of the Florida Everglades. Once you have experienced Gatorland, you’ll want to come back again and again! Locals love Gatorland’s Nature Walks through undisturbed conservancy areas and the wide variety of animal exhibits you won’t find anywhere else. Little ones can pet baby goats and have nectar-loving birds literally eat from their hands and perch anywhere there’s an available cup of nectar! And, of course, there are gators! Lots of ‘em! Small ones, big ones, hungry ones and not-so-hungry ones. There are even gator replicas to climb on for that photo op the kids crave! Be sure to catch the animal shows that offer fun and entertainment but also help to educate all of us about the animal world and how we can help preserve it for future generations.
