How long should I spend at Gatorland?

The expansive theme park of Gatorland stretches for 110 acres and is chock-full (or rather croc-full) of amazing attractions, activities, and adventures. Give yourself around 4 to 5 hours to fully explore all that this park has to offer.

Watching animal shows like Legends of the Swamp, Gator Jumparoo, etc. should encompass no more than 60 minutes. These are must-see shows at Gatorland, thus do not miss them at all. Spend around an hour or so visiting the petting farm and encountering animals like tortoises, capybaras, snakes, etc. The park also features an aviary where you can go look for different bird species including parrots like macaws and cockatoos. Do not miss out on seeing the Flamingo Island and get lost in time watching flamingos do their own thing. If you want to try out adventure rides like the New Croc Rock Adventure and Screamin’ Gator Zipline, take out at least 2 hours from your visit depending on the number of rides you want to experience.
