The 16 best photo spots in Kissimmee (2024)

Gatorland is a relatively small park that is is to navigate.Get your schedule for the shows and accommodate yourself accordingly byarriving early to each show, as seats fill up rather quickly, especially the shaded ones! All shows were amazing, I wouldn’t miss any of them.*The park is easily accessibly by wheelchair.I recommend wearing sneakers, lots of sand and uneven walkways.The restrooms could use and upgrade!The train was three dollars each, tickets were good for the entire day with unlimited rides.The kiddie park is pretty cool and can entertain a child for hours.The petting soon had quit a few very friendly animals and is an adventure that will be excite every age.The Swamp Buggy ride is a bit intense, if you have some physical limitations, I’d pass on this one.Zipline was about 99 minutes-long, you must make reservations prior for both.Dinning in the park was fairly inexpensive and pretty decent food for Park food with portions of surely fill you up.Sunscreen, a hat, and maybe even a spray water bottle will surely make your experience a lot more comfortable.

Excellent experience!!! It's the best way to see these magnificent animals face to face. You can even feed the young gators!! Everything is perfectly safe, and the staff cares a lot for these animals... you can see all the place in about 3-4 hours, 100% recommended!!

This place is so under rated with all the theme parks taking away the attention. The entry ticket is so affordable and so much things to do in the park. We spent around 3 hours there, watched all the shows and explored all the crocodiles and alligators. Rather than spending $160 to animal kingdom, this place is so much nicer.

Love it!You can easily spend a day there, with plenty of things to do.We enjoyed the shows, all the animals and the staff were amazing.Don't forget to bring some change so you can buy food and feed the birds/alligators.I would skip the train ride, a total waste of time.Also the restrooms could use some renovation, they were very small and not clean.Bottom line: I would go back :)

A definite must see. Very nice, clean place. The shows were really good; informative and comical. There’s over 2,000 gators overall plus other animals. They’re in the process of building a craft brew/beverage shop and an ice cream shop. They also have a small, beautiful water park area for kids with a machine available for drying off. They have a couple of zip lines and a train. Super nice place, super nice day.

It looks small but damn it’s huge once you start walking. So much gators. Multiple shows at once to keep the visitors busy. Friendly staff. Albino gators. Huge gators everywhere. Go early for a quieter scenery. Ample free parking. Too bad the souvenirs doesn’t have real gator “things” like teeth necklaces or gator leather pieces.

Loved this animal adventure park! The wildlife here is fun, entertaining & educational. Food is limited & pricey as a normal theme park. They have a great souvenir shop. The train ride was a very long wait & we ended up getting out of line after 40 minutes, that was disappointing. Parking was easy & free.

The is the first time visit with kids. They had a great time. Place has more than just gators. Feeding the gators, very educational, reasonable prices, free parking, train ride for the family which goes around showing all the attractions and swamp. Excellent place to spend a few hours with the kids. Lots of walking and outdoor activities. You can see snakes, parrots, turtles, etc. It was a great very first time here.

Had a great time, I thought it might be a little cheesy but it was a pretty cool place. The kids really enjoyed the day there. The shows were fun and interesting. We took the swamp buggy ride which was fun. The guide was very entertaining. We rode the train which was also a lot of fun. It was a pretty hot day but it seemed like there were fans everywhere to help keep you cool.

Loved it. Was a great experience but you better wear your swim suite and walking shoes lol. My kids had a great time. There was a huge amount of different kind of gators and you can feed them and take close up pics with them. Highly recommend making this trip. 👌

Amazing experience! I've been here twice already and loved it each time. Pack your swimsuits they have a splash park for the kids, and it is much needed in this Florida heat, and the kids love it.I recommend seeing the shows they have throughout the day they are great.Employees are all very, very nice and do incredible parts in their rolls.Did the feeding of the gators right where you walk in? It was also an awesome experience.

If you buy the tickets online you save $3. Honestly this place was a lot of fun! I didn’t get to enjoy it to its fullest because there was a storm coming in like 15 minutes from when we got there but it was still pretty cool. They have lots of gator shows but I forgot to record those because I was so entertained. They also have a photo op (w/the gator from the video) for $10. Its a large park so you can spend 2+ hours there easy, just do better planning than I did.

My wife and I went just looking for something to do. We found it and so much more. There's plenty to do and see. The areas were neat and well kept. The animals were very active. Great place to take kids.

Overall this is a great place and I would highly recommend it for anybody looking to see and possibly hold a gator. Your kids will absolutely love this place along with you. I would definitely go if you've not gone and if you have gone I would go back and see what else you may have missed. I recommend this do any family looking to experience an outside environment much like a zoo.

Had a great time at this true Florida attraction. Took advantage of the Florida residents special so the price was very low. Great value for families even at regular price. We spent about 3 hours. You could spend more time if you do the extra things like zip lining. There was so much more to see and learn about than I realized. And so MANY LARGE gators. Everything was clean and the animals appear well cared for. We had lunch and it was basic but convenient. One of our favorite things though was the snarky humour on signs throughout the park.

This park is a lot of fun for the family. There is a lot to see from gators, snakes, birds, turtles, and much more. My family really enjoyed it. I will say the one down fall is, after paying the fee to get in you need to pay extra for everything else in the park as an add on. But again overall would recommend to anyone coming to visit Orlando.

SO MANY GATORS. Stopped here during our 2wk driving FL trip. It’s was a total highlight. I’d go again. Lots of other animals too. They decorated for Halloween as we were there in October. Which was super cool.I collect smashed pennies and they had lots of penny machines. They also have a wax figure machine. It’s of a man on his knee with a gator in black wax. These machines aren’t made anymore. I’ve only ever see one at the space needle in Seattle Wa. It’s a very cool souvenir. I was ecstatic to get one!

We took our 7 year old son. We all hada great time! Affordable, very clean, and fun. A great local attraction. It's so nice to do something besides Disney.

Very fun place.! Seeing big gators up close safely is cool. Gator shows pretty good as well. The water feature to play in is a great addition, and there are change rooms near it. Veterans get in free an added bonus. No outside food, understandably good idea to control what is fed the animals. Snack bar okay, eat before going in better. We will go again one day. Enjoy!

Super recommended. We loved it. The next trip to this city we will surely repeat to enjoy the Screamin' Gator Zip Line and other attractions. I recommend spending at least 4 hours or more to reach each corner. There is a water play area, you can feed the animals and the cost of food for them is very good compared to other places we visit. It is suitable for all ages.

So much fun. I wish I would have planned better. This place has grown!!! We thought it would be an hour or 2 but we were there for at least 3 and hadn't seen everything. The Bird room is amazing. Feeding the gators is a little gross if your squeamish but it's cool to say you have done it. And to walk out into the lake ...there are over 100 HUGE gators. It was definitely an experience. I can't wait to go again.

Really fun and relatively cheap "theme park" and zoo. Heavy focus obviously on gators and loads of them to see. But awesome selection of birds and a few big cats too. There's a few different, entertaining shows. Food is a bit expensive but the gift shop options are good.Really worth a full day trip, in my opinion.

Great place with amazing experiences, and good for family adventure. There are so many things to do, as this park is more than just a gator park!We saw tortoises, pythons, birds, cougars, crocodiles, capybaras, flamingos, bobcats, and over more than 1000 crocodiles!100% would recommend. Wheelchair friendly and reasonably priced.

As the name suggest this place is full of gators. Great day out for all ages with plenty of things to see and do. Plenty of shade for when it's really hot. Feed the gators was a real hit with our party of 8. The gator shows were good, the kids enjoyed them.Free parking 👍

Have been visiting for decades. Finally became an annual pass holder and I couldn't be happier. As a birder and wildlife photographer, this is a great place to hone skills and just enjoy a good day out. Personally, I've taken thousands of photos here. This was the one place my son wanted to visit once more before moving cross country, and I love the fact that I have pics of him, in the same shows or exhibits, numerous times over the course of his life. It's a fantastic timeline to look back on. Gatorland is just so special to us for so many reasons. As a mom, a photographer, wildlife lover/ volunteer, and Floridian, I appreciate this place and all the people who are a part of it.

This was my 1st visit to Gatorland and it was very fun. I went with my husband and 2 kids aged 3 and 5. Everyone had a great time viewing all the different gators, other wildlife like tortoises, snakes, birds, etc. The shows were also entertaining and zip lining available for a thrill! Overall I recommend the visit for families bc you will have fun!

Went on half price day. Well worth it and we ended up paying the $10 to hold the baby gator and boa constrictor. Saw 3 different shows that were very cool. The train ride was fun too. Saw all kinds of animals besides gators, such as crocodiles, emus, lizards, and snakes.

Great fun for adults and kids. The show staff/ trainers are very funny and just be mindful that some of their jokes connect better with adults.Be prepared to spend money on experiences like photos with alligator, feeding them, zipline... etc, depending on the age group you are going with. However, the prices are fair, just they do add up quickly.This park can easily entertain a family for a whole day.

First time visiting Gatorland. My family enjoyed our time. The experiences were amazing! The Adventure hour was the highlight of the day! The guides were hilarious and so friendly. Do not pass on an opportunity to visit a park that has something for the whole family. And if you enjoy different food, the Gator bites are definitely worth it! ;)

Our family really enjoyed our visit here! It has over 3500 alligators of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Admission and food prices were all very reasonable and there was plenty of shaded area. We really enjoyed the nature walk too. The signs were quirky and all the staff we interacted with were exceptional! The only thing we didn't love was the alligator petting area. Seems a bit cruel to put a strap over a gators jaw just for the sake of adult entertainment.

wasn’t quite sure what to expect as the website seemed to lack some of the information as to what was available and applicable with the basic package (perhaps i just didnt see it) but was pleasantly surprised by all there was to see and do (more than just gators). From the moment we arrived all staff was super friendly and helpful. There was also a kids splash pad for cooling off and a couple of areas were food is sold. We spent about 5 hours walking around and only did the 2 shows included in the entry.went with my 13 & 9 y/o boys, we all enjoyed it very much, highly recommend it

Had a wonderful time!!! The staff was so super friendly and informative. Special shout out to Oscar and Savannah and James!! Took time out to speak to us and made us feel so welcome. So worth the trip. Fun for the whole family.Free parking and more gators than you will believe.

I had so much fun here, went zip lining for the first time and it was awesome. Our guides were also helpful and friendly. Just note you won’t be allowed to take your phone with you, so you will have to pay them to get the pictures they took of you. They definitely had a lot of wildlife in the park, and also had shows where they feed the gators 🐊 and talk about snakes.🐍 You can also go on the little train ride that goes round the park, if you want. Have fun:)

I was really impressed with our visit. I didn't like that u had to add on train ride. Also they way the "trick you into stuff:. $10 hold gator and snake. Yeah but then picture another $23. Don't find that out til after. Luckily we had a person with us and she took our photo. Then at show after wards come up meet gator. Oh yeah bring money, ugh.We did pay extra to feed gators that was cool experience. Walking the swamp area they need to replace some signs so you can read them. We fed the birds, thst was cool. Wish they reminded children not to run in there ,scares birds away. The splash pad at end of day was great for the kids. Covered shaded area adults! We ran out of time and had paid for train but didn't get to do. Don't even try to figure that line out either. Her Grandson picked splash pad over train ride. The show we saw the 2 guys were very funny.But over all friendly staff and we had a great time.I

Great place to visit. A lot to offer. Such has - gator viewing over 2,000, rescued birds (parrots…), albino gators, gator and crocs from around the world, reptiles, board walk of natural Florida, great shows audience participation/ alligator wrestling, splash pad, train ride, zip line, marsh buggy ride, other animals on display - cows-emus-donkey, feed the alligators, if you like to take pics of nature this is a great place, food is like bar food. Ben was employee that was f great in one of the shows and a train conductor- very humorous. Extensive gift shop on the way out. Probably missed some areas. Oh look for the cotton mouths breeding in the wild by the caution snake sign. No need to buy tickets ahead during a weekday- probably would for a weekend. Florida residents get a discount.

Highlights (that we experienced)- gators, feeding the gators, souvenirs, big cats, and the family favorite - the nature walk.It was pretty great! The people were all super nice. The gators were plentiful and awe inspiring. We were there for several hours and didn't do half the stuff that there was to do. In fact I think there were several whole sections of the park we never made it to. We took in the various gator ponds, checked out the other reptiles and big cats(they have a cerval and a bobcat) which were super active and interesting. We spent a long time watching them. We fed the gators. This was a highlight for sure. Watching them eat really enlightening. The last thing we did was walk the nature trail around the swamp. It was my favorite part no question. It was beautiful, peaceful, and full of interesting plants and wildlife. We saw lots of neat birds, snakes, and turtles in the wild on the trail. On the way out we fed the small gators with small fish tethered to a stick. Highly entertaining. We even ended up spending quite a bit in the gift shop. I am normally immune to exiting through the shop, but this shop is pretty impressive. They have a really wide selection of things. All the usual trappings you'd expect, but also, hats, belts, knives, some stationary items, personal grooming items, preserves, just all sorts of great stuff. We got tshirts(although even though mine said 3xl it turned out to fit more like a large so I will never be able to wear it)one for each of us, and one as a gift, a Christmas ornament, a nice comb, a couple of charms and a figurine also as gifts, and some stickers.A pretty good haul, and way more than I usually feel compelled to purchase in a tourist spot. But we genuinely enjoyed our time here and they had some really great stuff so it felt okay to indulge.

I came here back in the 70's as a little girl, brought my kids here in 2004, and I recently made a return visit. This place never gets old. I just love how they have kept this place up over the years. I hope you enjoy the videos I attach to this review, it really says it all. I spent the extra $12 to feed the alligators chicken wings 😂; it was so worth it. I did not buy any food or drinks. I did buy 1 picture for $15 as a souvenir. I hope I can bring my grandchildren one day.

Loved it, I have been wanting to go for a while now!!! This place is pretty cool, loved the swamp walk- beautiful trees and foliage. The gators are everywhere and loads to do for the tiny humans and adults!! Tickets are decently priced, just wish you didn’t still have to wait in line when you purchased tickets online! Hopefully they will separate the two…. Make life easier and quicker.All in all, GO!!!It’s a lot of fun for everyone 😂🤣

We had a good time here overall. All was good till we saw them abusing alligators for peoples amusem*nt... yanking them up by the tail... letting people sit on them for photo ops... should be so humiliating for those poor animals... parrots with clipped wings...If it doesn't bother you, it's good I guess.
