"Gatorland in Orlando is a fun
filled adventure with creatures in the wildlife. It's not too pricey, at about
22 dollars a person or cheaper. Unless, of course, you want to do one of the
tours which will be extra but still not as expensive as one of the theme parks.
The staff that put on the shows makes them amazing and funny to watch. There
are train rides and the guests are able to hold some of the critters such as a
gator or a snake. There is no need to be afraid of holding any of the critters
as the staff makes you feel very comfortable. Make sure to head over to the
cookhouse to get some of the surprisingly great tasting gator tail nuggets and
gator ribs. The taste is different but very tasteful and good. Going home from
Gatorland leaves you with a very educated, satisfied, and entertained
experience."

Since 1949, Gatorland, Florida's oldest theme-park, has
been entertaining guests for over sixty years. Since it's humble
beginnings as a side-show in New Jersey,
Gatorland featured it's super-star performer "Cannibal Jake."
Back in the days when it cost just 10¢ per performance, Gatorland
accumulated enough finances to build it's first park reserve in
Florida. Since then, this legendary theme-park has grown to become
the gator capital of the world.
