Advantages: Laid back day out, Gators, great for kids

Disadvantages: Might be difficult to get to if you dont have a car

Gatorland is known as the "alligator capital of the world". Whilst it says what it is on the tin, there is so much else to do and see at this laid back attraction away from the madness of the major theme parks. Gatorland boasts of course hundreds of alligators, as well as a breeding marsh, petting zoo, aviary, nature trail, reptilian shows and other animal exhibits. Last year they opened Gator Gully, a cute splash park where the kids could cool off and have some fun in the water amid the day out at Gatorland. Gator Gully is located within the existing Gatorland park, and is free with your regular Gatorland ticket.
TIP: We took advantage this year as we always do of shopping around for tickets in advance, for all of our theme park days, and this year bought a Go Orlando Card which included Gatorland as part of its admission. It also included Kennedy Space Center, Boggy Creek Airboats, Silver Springs (which was lovely and a best kept secret in my opinion), as well as many of the I Drive attractions including mini golf, Ripleys and Wonderworks, In fact, we used it in the evenings on IDrive as those attractions mostly stay open til very late. I had not used this card before, but all of the attractions seemed very familiar with it, and seemed a very professional set up.

Summary: Lovely glimpse into Florida's "original" attractions
