365 Orlando: 35. Gatorland
April 14th, 2010 by tisnerGatorland® is a one of a kind experience offered in the Orlando area. This is a 110-acre theme park and wildlife preserve. The northern section of Gatorland® is home to “Gator Lake” where the largest reptiles at the park live. You can see the alligators and crocodiles up close and personal from Alligator Island. Then hop on board the Express Railroad which will take you around the Jungle Crocs and the Breeding Marsh/Bird Rookery areas. The train stops at the South end of the park so you can grab a bite to eat at Pearl’s Smokehouse or catch a show at the Alligator Wrestling Stadium. You will also love the Swamp Walk where you can walk at your leisure through the unspoiled native Cypress Swamp. The kids will enjoy Allie’s Barnyard, the Very Merry Aviary and the Gator Gully Splash Park.
Gatorland® is located in South Orlando at the head of the Florida Everglades.
