Description

Florida nightlife is about to get wild! The Gator Night Shine adventure takes you deep into the domain of Florida's most famous reptile, the alligator!

Starting at dusk and armed with only a flashlight and gator food, you bravely make your way along the winding wooden walkways of Gatorland's Alligator Breeding Marsh. The sounds of the night come alive around you as the rustle of feathers overhead and the splashing of water nearby signal that you are not alone.

Turning your flashlight towards the water, you suddenly become aware of hundreds of hungry, glowing, red eyes slowly making their way closer... it's now your turn to experience the "Real Florida."

A fun and educational tour for kids of all ages, Gatorland's Gator Night Shine Tour is one swamp-stompin' adventure you don't want to miss!

"Gatorland, worth the visit!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed March 26, 2025 NEW
Our Family group of 11 visited recently ( not all were thrilled about going)Well, in the end everyone loved it! So much more than just seeing some alligators. We were there about 4 hours and could have easily spent a couple more. Lots of alligators, lots! Flamingos, capybaras, bobcats, to name a few . The boardwalk through the swamp was very relaxing. Ziplining was sold out as we waited too long for tickets but people were happy with the experience . Feeding the alligators (fish with a pole) was a hit with everyone in our group ages 2-62! Definitely worth the money!

This is a great place to visit. There are lots of animals, not just alligators. There are quite a few animal encounters, such as feeding parakeets and a petting zoo with goats and sheep. There are also a few shows, such as gator wrestling and an interactive animal show. They have a large souvenir shop with food as well. 10/10 recommend when in Orlando.

"So many fun and exciting things to do. We need to go back!"

Gatorland was a hit with our group of 23. We used Gatorland as a way to pass time between disembarking a cruise and a late flight out of MCO. We wish we had more time at Gatorland! The shows were funny and informative. There was a great variety of animals to view and interact with. We highly recommend the Adventure Buggy! Everybody was laughing and smiling on it. We will definitely go back next time we are in Orlando, especially to do the zipline! We contacted Gatorland ahead of time about our large group. They were extremely responsive and helpful getting us set up ahead of time so that we could maximize our time inside. They also met us on upon our arrival. It really helped us be as efficient as possible.

Loved it all! The show was so much fun! Lots to see and do! Lots and lots of alligators and other birds and animals. Train was kind of lame. It was nice to see the different areas but wish the driver would have talked about the place instead of being quite.
