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.

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!

Great experience. ToIf you're into nature and various exotic edibles, this is the place for you. Well I wish their prices were a little bit lower, it's a great experience and exceeded expectations.Don't be fooled by the way the place is presented on the outside in the respect of it being fairly low key, this place is a legitimate ultra mini zoo.We spent about 3 hours here which is a little bit longer than most people do but that's because I'm extremely fascinated with alligators and crocodiles and the way they present the gives you plenty of opportunity to experience them and do so both in a contained atmosphere but also one that feels like it's much more natural than many many other places I've been to.There are two shows everyday at least during the winter season. What are them is for the Gators and one of them is for the crocodiles. The shows are the exact same for each so it doesn't matter what time you go. So go and visit during a show where the time begins best for you.You have an opportunity to also feed the Gators which is for a fairly hefty cost but if you're really into that in terms of being right up close then it's worth the money because how many times you really get to do that. Also this place allows you to do this in a setting that feels a lot more natural than if you were in a place like Orlando.If you're coming down to Florida to see Gators definitely come here and spend the $25 admission fee to get in. You can spend all day here if you'd like. I found that as somebody who wants to read every single placard to both educated entertain myself and see every single exhibit You're going to need 3 hours or so to do that.The actual show is fairly short in that it's only about 15 minutes long but at least they don't jump on the top of the alligator and pull its head up like I've seen in many other shows. This kind of thing only makes the alligator look extremely uncomfortable and my guess is if you give the alligator choice to have somebody up on top of it and have its face pulled up in an unnatural way, The Gator would want no part of it. I'm glad I didn't see them do this here.There's a fairly well produced fox business 30 minute show on this place that you can find on YouTube. It's called something like 'Strange Inheritance'.

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 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!

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

Highly Recommend this Original Central Florida Roadside Attraction! Employed for a short time as a zoo keeper/Alligator handler. It was one of the most fulfilling and amazing experiences I've had! Management was nice and professional. Always willing to teach and learn. Ben was a great teacher and a natural with the animals. It's amazing to watch him. Learned a lot and had fun here every day!!!

My kids and I had the best time! We hatched baby alligators in our hands, the kids caught, held and fed alligators of all sizes. They held, a snake and fed a tortoise. There's so much to do. The staff was amazing. Friendly & knowledgeable. Definitely recommend. We will be back!
