Steve’s take
Gatorland has been here since 1949 — decades before Disney showed up — and it's still going strong. Your kids can hold a baby alligator, watch a gator wrestling show, and ride a zip line over a breeding marsh full of prehistoric reptiles. It costs a fraction of a theme park day and the kids will talk about the gator they held for years. Old Florida at its finest. The giant alligator mouth entrance is required photography.
