The park prides itself on being low-tech, low-maintenance, and on providing millions of visitors with an authentic Florida experience. Despite the name, Gatorland is about much more than alligators. At 110 acres, the park is a haven for other wildlife too, showcasing the beauty of the swamp as an ecologically-diverse paradise of flora and fauna.
