Gatorland Florida: Shows & Attactions

Gator Jumparoo - this 15 minute outdoor show has Gatorland hosts feeding mammoth gators half-chickens by dangling the meat from a long chain. The clanging of the chain and the smell of the meat brings the large gators swimming near. Soon they begin to jump upwards, launching themselves out of the water to grab their food.

There is plenty of opportunity for a good action picture here. There are no seats for this show - but the best positions and views are either at the front row or along the sides.

Gator Wrestlin' - Pretty self-explanatory, Gatorlands' hosts take to the arena and perform tricks and stunts to wow the crowds.

The show begins with a wrangler knocking the resting gators from their platform into the water below. The the host asks for a volunteer (usually a child) to come down and choose the biggest gator for him to wrestle.

The show has good humor throughout and it's the signature show of the park. At the end of the show there's the chance to come down and see the gators up close, sit on their backs and have pictures taken and ask the wranglers questions.


Giant Gator Lake

Observe the giants of the reptile kingdom here. Stand and watch for a while and you will see all different kinds of gators and crocodiles. These cold blooded creatures are often seen basking in the Florida sun or cooling off in the lake. Some wading birds will sometimes hitch a ride on the backs of gators here!

Alligator Breeding Marsh & Bird Sanctuary

This has become a big success at Gatorland Florida. Each year the park's gators come to lay eggs in April and May. You'll be able to view their nests surprisingly close to the walkways. After the eggs have been laid they are moved by staff to incubators to ensure that they hatch successfully.

This marsh has around 30 males and up to 100 female gators. It is also home to over 30 different kinds of wading birds who choose to nest here. Species include herons, snowy egrets, wood stalks, cormorants, spoonbills, limpkins, osprey and anhinga . In nature, birds choose to nest above gator habitats for protection against land predators such as raccoons, possums, rats etc. Each year thousands of birds flock here to breed and to nest.

Observation Tower

The best views over Gatorland Orlando are from the Observation Tower - a 3 level obsrvation deck from which you can take in views from all the different gator habitats. Bring some binoculars!

Alligator Alley - Animal Exhibits

There's more to Gatorland Orlando than just gators. The bird sanctuary is home to many exotic breeds of birds, many of which you can feed and pet. Today Gatorland Florida has over 1,000 birds nests inside the preserve including great white herons, snowy egrets, cattle egrets, macaws, parakeets, lorikeets and flamingos. There are also deer, turtles and emus.
