This place was amazing. It doesn’t look much from the outside, but once you journey along the bridge into the park you’ll see another world. They have a deep rooted story behind the beginning of the park. A vast amount of alligators as well as other animals on property. If you want a close encounter with an animal, it’s really inexpensive. It’ll make a great memory and an even better photo opportunity. Amber was a great help and knowledgeable, and very entertaining when feeding the large alligators. The rest of the staff we saw were hardworking and cared for all the animals they have there. Make sure you see Goliath and the Albino alligators. They are fascinating and rare. It will be a fun and educational place to take your family to. Recommended!

I loved my experience at Gatorama. All of the staff were friendly and personable. As a FL resident I see gators all the time but today I got up close. And it was interesting seeing the different species of crocodile.If you're up for adventure the Face to Face encounter is a fun experience and I can't wait to do it again.

If you are passing through please stop and check this place out. If your vacationing in Florida and you want to see something unique, not associated with corporate America and seeing nature up close and personal. This is your place. I highly recommend it. It's as close as you can get and actually you can get even closer. LOL five stars truly for this Roadside Attraction. Friendly folks and family owned.

What a cool experience. Gatorama has a super friendly staff. From the ticket sales to the shows, it was a cool experience. We really enjoyed the self guided tour of the animals. The enclosures alone are worth the price of admission, but there were also shows to see. Cody was entertaining and full of facts and comedy as he fed the gators and put on the experiences. This place is do much more than just gators. Well worth the money. Also, a huge shout out to the owners for the Veterans discount. I never expect a discount, but I am truly grateful for businesses that offer it. Overall it is very family friendly and safe for all ages from young to old. We will definitely be back.

To be honest I was hesitant to come here. But my husband talked me into it and I am so glad he did! This place is amazing. I loved everything we saw and everything we learned. Dan and Christine were so awesome to talk with. We would love to come back and spend even more time. I know it says people typically spend an hour and a half here but we spent three and enjoyed every minute. We paid to feed Dozer the tortoise and that was so special. But now I want to come back and try holding the python, Blue and maybe even try catching a gator. Go visit Gatorama you won't be disappointed.

This has got to be one of the coolest places I have visited recently, being able to see and interact with so many gators and crocs is a one-of-a-kind experience, forget an airboat ride if you want to truly see these amazing creatures stop by this place, there is also a few other animals to see.The only place to see a blue-eyed gator (which I am totally in love with) to be able to stand in front of these gators and feed them is the most intimidating adrenaline rush mixed in with awe of how the staff was able to tame these incredibly large animals on land.Now let's talk about the staff being genuinely kind and knowledgeable (Thank you Ben, Allen, and Mrs. Patty, this was truly an experience we won't forget and definitely will repeat).Gatorama is a little gem everyone needs to know about.Trust me make the trip stop by. You will not regret it.

Really cool place. Worth every penny! Very interactive. With many feedings and animals you can hold or pet. The lady who hosts everything is really nice and up beat. She gave me a free alligator tooth. Watching the gators lunge up for food is amazing and standing right next to an alligator to take a picture is a once in a life time chance. So definitely take it and go here! Guy who handled gator for our picture was very controlled and calm. I felt safe the whole time. Would recommend to anyone from out of town looking for something different.

If you want to get close to gators and crocodiles then you should visit Gatorama. You can get the all inclusive pass and you can hold a 3.5ft gator. And later they take you in a pen where small gaters are and you can catch them. You can also buy feed and feed them. It is a neat safe experience. And everyone there is very nice and friendly

This is definitely a fun place to stop! My favorite part was the gator feeding right when you walk in. There is a food truck located on premises if you want to grab something quick. You can pay $5 to buy your own gator or croc food. $25 per person to get in. I wish there were some activities that cost less to do. There was an option to hold a snake for $10 and hold a tiny gator. Apparently there is a hatch fest in august where you can hold an egg and a gator will hatch right in your hand.

Today was our first visit to Gatorama and it certainly will not be our last. Everyone was welcoming and passionate about crocodilians and it shows. We came for the Hatching Festival but found more adventure feeding gators *and* crocodiles(!) from the boardwalk, holding a piebald alligator, watching the Fast Hands feeding demonstration, and listening to staff excitedly tell us everything about their favorite crocs. One guy even coaxed the Orinoco crocodile out of the water so we could see her better.The Hatching Festival is truly an amazing experience and one I hope to get to repeat. The team of staff and volunteers make it easy to let a baby gator hatch in your hand. There's not a long wait for your turn and they let you take as many photos as you want. There are several hatching times so everyone gets as much time as they need, although some of the babies are ready to go from the moment their head pops out.

We visited for the first time 1/31/24 and had a wonderful time. We was able to do the Face-to Face Challenge with Old Boy and Brandon. They were the perfect gentlemen! The pictures turned out great and our interaction with the staff was exceptional. Definitely worth the trip here!

CLEAN, so well maintained for animals. Well worth the drive, kids ages 5-12 had a great experience. Staff is very friendly, patient and highly educated. Would highly recommend. Visited during the hot summer and we were all very comfortable as almost every area is well shaded, fans and misters placed throughout as well. Great people, great place!

The staff was friendly and informative. We went during the week so it wasn't very busy we were grateful for that. We spent quite a bit of time looking around and reading about all the animals. The staff also explained a lot to the kids. They enjoyed that.

What a Gem! A family owned biz for decades, probably a century now...The oldest Alligator known in captivity lives here and still performs. What a treat, he's Huge!So many opportunities to partake and learn about these dinosaurs!Feeding them is a hoot! Make sure to save some for the entire trip!Be sure to go on their website and read about how they work behind the scenes in alligator and crocodile conservation etc. They're legit in this business for their love of the animals and not the showbiz of it all.
