After a morning airboat tour and seeing a ton of gators in there own environment, you may ask, “What should I do next”? Why not just make it a full out gator themed day and hit up Gatorland. I’m not a huge fan of gators, but I still wanted to go and check out the [...]
Florida is internationally known as the “Alligator Capital of the world” and if you’re in Kissimmee – the heart of Florida, you would be crazy if you don’t visit Gatorland! This reptile-filled theme park is just a hop away from Kissimmee. Conveniently located between Orlando and Kissimmee on the South Orange Blossom Trail, it was an [...]
I probably shouldn’t even admit this, but my husband has lived in Kissimmee for almost five years and I have never taken him to Gatorland. It’s a shame, I know! For this staycation, I decided that Gatorland was a must do. I can’t even remember that last time I was there and I knew that Adam [...]

Until now. As I climbed the tower to the first “zip,” at Gatorland, a 110-acre theme park and wildlife preserve [...]
In operation since 1949, stepping through the gaping mouth of the giant mouth at the front of Gatorland is an experience everyone should have at least once in their lives. Gatorland offers a family entertainment experience for a low price that can rival that of its counterparts and makes for an affordable family outing. With [...]
Gatorland is nostalgia at its finest. They have captured that delicate balance of staying original while introducing new exhibits that make you want to rediscover one of Florida’s surviving roadside attractions. Naturally, it was the first place I went to after flying in. The last time I had seen Gatorland was in 2006 when an [...]
