Directions

Founded in 1949 by Owen Godwin, Gatorland grew from a Florida roadside attraction into one of the Orlando area’s longest-running wildlife parks. Its focus on alligators offers a different perspective from the region’s better-known theme parks, connecting a classic road-trip stop with Florida’s wetland wildlife. Today, visitors can see alligators alongside birds and other animals, watch educational presentations, and try activities such as a zip line. This blend of wildlife and entertainment has made the park a recognizable part of Central Florida’s visitor culture. Located on South Orange Blossom Trail near Hunters Creek, Gatorland Orlando appeals to travelers who want to learn about Florida wildlife while staying close to the city.

Before you enter

  • Check the day’s opening hours and show schedule before leaving; the listed regular hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Bring sun protection and a refillable water bottle for time outdoors.
  • Check which activities cost extra if you’re planning a zip line or animal-feeding experience.

What to expect

  • Expect alligators, birds, other animals, and educational shows rather than a conventional theme-park visit.
  • Allow several hours if you want to see shows and explore at an unhurried pace.
  • The park has activities for children, and visitor reviews mention a splash pad.

During your visit

  • Consult the posted show times when you arrive, then plan your route around the presentations you want to see.
  • Follow staff instructions and posted barriers around animal areas.
  • Take breaks in the shade, especially during warmer parts of the day.
