Gatorland
4685 Us Highway 98 S, Lakeland, FLTel: (863) 648-0567
Founded in 1949 with only a handful of alligators living in huts and pens, Gatorland now houses thousands of alligators and crocodiles on its 70-acre spread. Breeding pens, nurseries, and rearing ponds are situated throughout the park, which also displays toads, insects, turtles, and a Galapagos tortoise. Its 2,000-foot boardwalk winds through a cypress swamp and breeding marsh. There are three shows. Gator Wrestlin' uses the old "put-them-to-sleep" trick, but it's more of an environmental awareness program. The Gator Jumparoo is a crowd-pleaser in which the big reptiles lunge 4 or 5 feet out of the water to snatch a hunk of meat from a trainer's hand. And Jungle Crocs of the World showcases some of the world's toothiest carnivores.

- Lakeland: fun go-karts, Orlando: great animals.
- Lakeland: closed, Orlando: all outside in Florida.
“Gatorland is great, but it's not in Lakeland; it's in Orlando. There was a Gatorland in Lakeland, but a) they had games & rides, not animals and b) they closed, (Orlando's Gatorland has a website @ gatorland.com).”
