Description

Discover old Florida and experience the easiest way to see 400+ alligators in Central Florida in our 15-acre drive-through alligator park. Stay in the comfort of your car, rain or shine, with no walking. You'll see everything from baby gators to massive monsters in our no-kill park.

After the drive-thru, you can get out and see the baby gators, feed some hungry youth gators, and hold a gator. You are free to take as many pictures as you like with your devices. Be sure to take a selfie with Big Al our 13 foot, taxidermied gator. Then head out and enjoy our petting zoo full of lots of farm animals. We've also recently added a new Bunny Barn with plenty of baby bunnies to hold.

We are located one mile west of I-75 on State Road 44, near Wildwood and only 7 miles from The Villages.

Open 10:00 am to 4:00 pm ET Monday through Saturday. Closed on Sunday (Hours of operation may vary).

This was our first visit. Was looking to get out of the house during this virus. My daughter loved it. It wasn’t crowded so we were able to keep our distance from other visitors. Washing station & hand sanitizer was provided. Baby goats were so cute. We would go back. Check our this little family Farm.

What a great experience. It’s a family operation, so they give you a lot of personal time. You get to hold an alligator, bunnies, and even a baby goat. Such a great place.

First and foremost let me tell you the staff was super nice and engaging with the children. The place itself was terribly disappointing..several large pens filled with gators..not in habitat..the goats and chickens were friendly but since this was our 3rd different gator attraction I would not recommend it..basically just pens full of gators

Had a great time at Gatorworld with all my family! We got to see hundreds of gators (not kidding) in the driving tour and once done, we all got to hold a gator, pet them, feed them and spend some time in the petting zoo with bunnies, goats and various kinds of chicken. We even got to pet a turkey! ;) Had a great time and you can really tell the staff love all the animals. I would recommend it without hesitation!
