YES OR NO?

NEVER BEEN , IS IT WORTH 1/2 DAY?

We went for the 1st time on our last visit and although it was OK we will not be doing it again. We feel its one of those places that you should see once but thats it.

Its certainly different from the rest of the tourist attractions!

Weve done it once,but as lfcnut says,do it once for the experience.
Its an OK half day visit,but one warning,dont be lured into paying the extra for the guided tour.Better to just walk round by yourself.

I went 4 years ago and found it very run down. I wouldnt reccomend it. If you want Gaytors go Busch or AK.

[Guest]

were gonna try it next time for the experience. but as a tip go to silver springs to see gators in the wild . its great

[Guest]

Never been, I have known people who have and they wouldn't go again.

Is it right that they sell aligator products in the shop !

What next ? "Shamu" burgers at SeaWorld !

[Guest]

don't go! We went because I really wanted to go see the gators and I was disgusted at the place... very run down and shabby (they sell hotdogs for tourists to feed gators with - now I dont know much about gators in the wild but i'd be guessing that hotdogs are just not part of the staple diet? )
Went into the shop as we were leaving and I had to refuse to let my kids buy anything as I was not prepared to hand over any more money to this outfit - back scratchers made out of baby alligators feet were just one of the many products made from gators... errr like NO thank you!
Just my opinion but I wouldn't go back nor would I recommend it to anyone

Try it, the place is run down but some of the gators are really huge and you can get quite close to them - protected obviously.
Went in early April last year on a chily morning, gators don't like the cold very much and there was quite alot of activity.

A few years ago when we went there you could also try cooked gator, similar to chicken.

We've never been but IMO I think it's a cruel place looking at the photos of people with Aligators. Having their mouth taped up is not healthy for the animals.

We would never visit such a place. I also think the polar bears aren't happy at SW with their environment.

Stay away. A total waste of money and time.And like the others have said, its run down and the Gators don't look happy.
