Hey there, and welcome back to The Froggy Take! This time, we hopped on over to Gatorland in sunny Orlando, Florida — because when you’ve got a 6-year-old who’s absolutely obsessed with gators, it’s kind of a no-brainer, right?
We easily found parking and made our way to the entrance, stopping for a few fun photo ops along the way (because you know I can’t resist a good photo moment). We decided to go all in and got the Greater Gator Package, which included admission for the day, a “Meet a Gator” experience, unlimited train rides and gator chow.
We showed up later in the afternoon thinking we’d have plenty of time to explore — turns out, we could’ve spent all day there! Between the Gator Jumparoo Show, Meet a Gator, and Legends of the Swamp, there’s so much happening throughout the day.
We started by wandering through the park, checking out all the incredible habitats and gators of every size. When it was time for the “Meet a Gator” experience, we lined up for a photo and then stayed for the show. It was fantastic — fun, educational, and the host kept everyone laughing and engaged the entire time.
After that, we explored a bit more and stepped into the bird aviary, which ended up being one of my favourite parts of the day. You have to walk slowly and calmly, and before long, the birds land right on you! The look on my son’s face — pure joy.
I really appreciated that Gatorland groups their gators by age, so you can see just how much they grow over time — it’s both fascinating and a little wild to see the difference up close.
Next up, it was time to grab our gator chow and feed some very hungry gators. Let me tell you — those guys are enthusiastic eaters! You can even rent a fishing line and fish to feed the smaller gators, which my little one thought was the coolest thing ever.
We capped things off with a ride on the Gatorland Express Train, which was a relaxing way to see even more of the park. There’s also an awesome splash pad area that looked like so much fun — we just ran out of time this visit, but it’s on our list for next time.
By the time we left, we’d seen more gators, crocs, and birds than we could count — and we were all smiles. We stayed right until closing and loved every second. Safe to say, we’re already planning our next trip back!
Until next time, keep hopping toward your next wild
adventure — and remember, life’s always better when you take a
leap!
