Photographs from my time at Gatorland.
Gatorland is open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM, including all holidays. Show schedules vary slightly by season, so checking the official website or calling ahead for the most up-to-date information is recommended.
Things you can find at Gatorland:

Gatorland, a 110-acre theme park and wildlife preserve in Orlando, Florida, has captivated visitors since 1949 with its unique blend of Old Florida charm and thrilling wildlife experiences. Known as the "Alligator Capital of the World," the park is home to thousands of alligators and crocodiles, including rare leucistic white alligators.

Philadelphia Zoo is thrilled to announce the arrival of three Ankole-Watusi (Ankole) cattle, now on exhibit on African Plains.
Called “Cattle of Kings,” Ankole are renowned for massive crescent or lyre-shaped horns measuring up to 8 feet wide. These horns continue to grow as the animals age, eventually weighing up to 15 lbs. each. Gentle in nature and massive in size, Ankole can weigh between 1,200 and 1,600 lbs., making them an incredible sight to see.
“We are thrilled to bring this striking breed to the Zoo for the first time in our 163-year history. We are certain they will enhance our visitor’s experience while highlighting the conservation work the Zoo supports in Uganda. There, through work with the New Nature Foundation, the Zoo empowers people to live in greater harmony with nature, and our new Ankole cattle will help to share that important story,” says Michael Stern, the Zoo’s Andrew J. Baker Curator of Primates & Small Mammals and Acting Curator of Carnivores & Ungulates.
