Hi, as always it's a personal view, but Gatorland is a good half day trip for us, been loads of times over the years and still enjoy it. I'm sure I saw somewhere it was voted "best half day experience", I would reccommend it.

It's a bit like Marmite some love it and some hate it !

After 12 trips to Florida we had never been but DH was keen so we went last year but I won't be heading back and personally would not recommend it. I felt the gator's were crammed in with little space to move around and that the shows were bordering on cruel but others love it. I much prefer to see the gator's at Wild Florida where while they are in captivity they are swimming around in a "lake" and have more freedom.

There are a few threads on the "Beyond the Parks" section of the forum which may help you decide if it is worth it.

We had half day to spare before we took our son back to the airport as he was flying back ahead of us. We were very surprised to find it a great way to sped half day and thoroughly enjoyed it. When we visited we saw for the first time the leucistic (white) gators - did not know they existed and are very rare.

I haven't been for years but don't begrudge the times I went. I'll never forget those gators jumping out of the water for the chickens, I'd never seen anything like it. Half a day at most.

Ditto - completely. Everyone to their own but I personally found it uncomfortable

We enjoy it but can see why others might not. Half day visit at most
