Gatorland

Orlando in Florida is the gateway to a world of fun, enjoyment and an indulging place for tourists.

Florida surely attracts too many international travelers from everywhere because of attractions like Gatorland, situated in the central Florida, a theme park housing especially alligators. There are many other attractive and interesting parks in Florida including the world famous Disney Land.

Mostly tourists that travel to Orlando keep this wonderful theme park last on their "laces to Visit in Florida" list, as the major attraction in Orlando remains Disney land. Usually most tourists complete the tour of this 110-acre privately owned and managed theme park in about five to six hours. It provides them with a chance to observe the alligators very closely. The park is also home to some of the most exotic birds and ethnic wildlife of Florida.

Gatorland was the brainchild of Owen Godwin, Sr., who was fond of alligators. The park went into commercial business in 1949 and has grown very large since then. It's a perfect family holiday destination as well as equally interesting for both children and adults.

Many different shows are held within the park, which remains open for 9 to 5, to keep the guests busy. The crowds are drawn to Gator Gully Splash Park that features the highly popular Gator Jumparoo Show. The alligators have been trained to perform water jumps and perform live just like the dolphins.

Moving on further into the Gatorland, Very Merry Aviary and Allie's Barnyard serve as the home for many different kinds of farm animals and some very rare exotic bird species. The best way to explore the park and see the wildlife closely is to take a ride of the Express Railroad. It is a special adventure tour of the park.

Many fulfilled games have also been incorporated into the rail tour to keep the journey adventurous and far from being monotonous. Special games for kids have also been included that keep them high on energy. Apart from this when you finish the tour of the park in the evening; you must not forget to buy the special souvenirs of the alligators. These special mementos keep reminding you of the Gatorland and its adventure.
