Gatorland
 For over fifty years, Gatorland has been providing the millions of visitors that have passed through its gaping alligator mouth entrance with unforgettable holiday memories! Situated between the cities of Orlando and Kissimmee on the South Orange Blossom Trail, Gatorland is one of the oldest tourist attractions in Central Florida, providing a unique, natural alternative to the larger theme parks. Gatorland® offers a number of different shows, including the extraordinary alligator wrestling spectacular done "Florida Cracker"-style in a shaded, 800-seat arena. 'Gator wranglers' catch a 6 - 8 foot-long alligator by hand, then clamber onto the snapping beast's back to demonstrate survival features to the gasping audience! After performing stunts that only a (fully qualified) few are brave (or foolish) enough to attempt, the alligator is gently rolled over and put to sleep...only to be awakened by a tickle! It is a simply amazing encounter with nature!
 You never know what kind of animal you may be encountering next at the Up-Close Animal Encounters Show, meeting a variety of fascinating creatures from all around the globe, as well as the native wildlife of Florida - including some of the most dangerous snakes on earth!
Gatorland is open every day, rain or shine, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM for the fun and enjoyment of the whole family.
