Activity Overview
Gator Park is a unique wildlife attraction in the Florida Everglades that provides families with the opportunity to go on a fun, educational alligator adventure. Gator Park is known throughout the Miami area for its airboat tours, which give visitors the chance to see alligators and other Florida wildlife in their natural habitat.
Gator Park is also fun for visitors of all ages due to its fascinating wildlife tours, which feature the heart-pounding excitement of alligator wrestling!
Things to Do
- Take the Airboat Tour with one of Gator Park's experienced guides to see wild alligators, soft-shelled turtles, and birds. If you're lucky you'll get to see Jumbo, the massive 9-foot long alligator who often appears during tours to say hello.
- Attend one of Gator Park's wildlife shows to learn all about the animals that live in the Everglades. Make sure you have your camera ready when the alligator wrestling starts - the technique used by the park's wildlife experts was originally used by Seminole Indians to capture alligators, but is now used to show off the immense power and agility that alligators possess.
- Keep an eye out for beautiful birds as you explore the Everglades by airboat - it is home to species such as ospreys, great blue herons, white ibises, egrets, and roseate spoonbills!
Gator Park Insider Tips
- If you're feeling brave, hold a baby alligator during the alligator show for a truly memorable Everglades experience.
- Grab a bite to eat at Gator Park's restaurant! Children generally prefer traditional options like a hamburger or a hot dog, but adults are welcome to try delicious Everglades specialties like frog legs, catfish, alligator tail, and alligator sausage.
- Visit the gift shop to pick up an Everglades-themed souvenir to remember your trip. They sell everything from t-shirts and hats to Native American crafts including pottery, jewelry, and dream catchers.
