When I went to Gatorland I saw the biggest gators I’ve ever seen in my whole life. They were just tremendous beasts and that could move surprisingly (and dangerously) quick, when they are on the hunt for prey. Visiting Gatorland gave me a whole new respect for those creatures, along with the multitude of other animals that are on display there. I certainly gained a lot of new knowledge of the local Floridian wildlife. The zoologists and marine biologists on hand are very knowledgeable about the area and you get to hear from them through the small tours given and questions you ask them too. My favorite show would have to be the Gator Jumparoo. This is the show where a piece meat is dangled from a rope to a bunch of hungry gators. I’ll tell you what, I was not expecting those gators to be able to jump as high as I saw them jump. It was very entertaining to say the least.

There is also a fantastic walk in a tropical woodland which is a must and don’t forget the Giant Tortoises. My son sat on the back of a crocodile for $10 even though it’s jaws were held by tape I think he enjoyed it. I was happy when he came off though!
