At Gatorland, the Gatorland Express still delights visitors as it winds its way around the park’s alligator breeding marsh and animal enclosures.
Perfect for younger children or anyone wanting a slower pace, this ride offers a unique way to spot wildlife without the crowds. As you travel through the park, keep an eye out for alligators, birds and other native species in their naturalistic habitats.
