Welcome to Gatorland, the premier destination for alligator enthusiasts and adventure seekers. If you are planning a visit to Gatorland or interested in exploring the fascinating world of alligators, we are here to provide you with essential safety tips to ensure an exhilarating but safe experience during your adventure.
1. Stay Informed and Follow Park Guidelines
When you visit Gatorland, it's important to stay informed about the park's guidelines and rules. Our knowledgeable staff members are always available to offer guidance and answer your questions. Familiarize yourself with the safety regulations and adhere to them at all times to protect yourself and the wildlife.
2. Maintain a Safe Distance from Alligators
While alligators are magnificent creatures to observe, it's crucial to maintain a safe distance from them. Respect their habitats and do not approach them. Gatorland provides specially designated viewing areas where you can safely observe the alligators while maintaining a safe distance.
3. Don't Feed or Provoke the Alligators
Feeding or provoking alligators is not only dangerous but also illegal. Alligators are wild animals with unique behaviors, and feeding them disrupts their natural feeding patterns and encourages aggressive behavior. Enjoy the opportunity to observe and photograph these incredible creatures, but always from a safe distance.
4. Supervise Children at All Times
When visiting Gatorland with children, ensure they are always under close supervision. Alligator habitats can be exciting and captivating for young minds, but it's essential to keep children away from any potential danger. Teach them about the importance of respecting wildlife and keeping a safe distance.
5. Wear Appropriate Attire
Wearing appropriate attire can contribute to your safety during your Gatorland adventure. We recommend comfortable, closed-toe shoes to protect your feet while exploring the park. Additionally, consider wearing light-colored clothing as it may deter insects like mosquitoes.
6. Stay Hydrated and Apply Sunscreen
Florida's sunny climate can be quite warm, especially during the summer months. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and ensure you apply sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Gatorland provides shaded areas and rest stops, allowing you to take breaks and rehydrate during your visit.
7. Follow Safety Tips during Feeding Demonstrations
Witnessing a live alligator feeding demonstration at Gatorland is an awe-inspiring experience. However, it's important to follow safety guidelines during these presentations. Observe the feeding demonstrations from designated viewing areas and follow the instructions provided by our trained and experienced handlers.
8. Report Any Concerns to Park Staff
If you notice any potential safety concerns or have questions during your visit, don't hesitate to approach our friendly park staff. Your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities, and we are always available to assist you in any way we can.
9. Enhance Your Knowledge with Educational Programs

These programs provide valuable insights into the world of alligators, their habitats, and conservation efforts.
