Feeding GAtors
We had such a great time feeding the gators. This was a new thing since last year. A great way to get interactive with the gators and see them open their mouths for some great photo ops and videos. It amazes me how they can be so scary and so cute at the same time. You get 3 fish for $5 so each of our kids did 1 fish. Very nice that they have a nylon string that comes undone fairly easily so the gators can bite and chew but don't get tangled up in the rope between their teeth. We are so impressed by Gatorland and the way they take care of their animals. It is truly a special place!

Hand Feeding the HuGe Gators in the Jumparoo Show at Gatorland
I don't know how these guys do this!!! They are either the bravest souls ever or the craziest. Maybe a little of both! The gators coming out of this water after the food during the Jumparoo Show at Gatorland are humongous! Monstrous! They are hand feeding them and I don't know how the gators know where the hand stops and the chicken begins. You will see more of their incredible size in the breeding marsh pics and vids down the page a bit. Enjoy!

Breeding Marsh and some of the biggest gators you have ever seen close up...
The breeding marsh is one of the coolest places ever! You walk along a deck type path above the swamp and the humongous gators you see in my pics and videos below are right below you. The deck is very sturdy and well constructed so no worries about that but seeing these massive, epic creatures so close up is an amazing experience! This is our second time at Gatorland and we saw and heard some amazing sights and sounds including teeth clacking together and growling, but the first time we were here, a monstrous gator was growling with it's throat up against the bridge you walk on and it literally vibrated the bridge. Quite cool! Even more amazing, the zip line goes across and over this breeding marsh. I had a good time watching OTHER PEOPLE do that zip line. I am not quite that brave! LOL

Baby Gators Nursery
They were so adorable and so cute! I cannot believe these tiny, little guys grow into those huge monsters but they do. They look like they are always smiling to me. Ya think they are?

The Kids Got to Feed The Galapagos Tortoises and They were Amazing!
We have never stood so close to such a wonderful creature! Feeding these Galapagos Tortoises was so much fun. They reminded us of E.T. with the way their necks went up and down. Majestic and adorable at the same time. So excited and blessed to spend so much time in their enclosure with them. I love so much how well taken care of and how clean and well kept the animals and grounds are at Gatorland!

Animal Encounters Show (I call it the Creepy Crawly Show)
A very funny moment during this show with spiders and snakes. The girl on the left was a laugh riot which you can see in both the pics and vids here. She was all excited to be up on stage and curious about what she would see until they brought out the humongous snake for her to hold with the other 4 people! She screamed took off running. It was so funny! I cannot say I would have been any different! LOL Our daughter who loves snakes was sad she did not get picked. She would take the thing home and name it! LOL I loved seeing all the creepy crawlies as long as I didn't have to touch them. These guys are funny and so full of info about the creatures. Another great show at Gatorland!

A short 6 pic hilarious slideshow showing this one girl who was all excited to be up there until she saw the snake they were going to hand her. I'm not sure I have seen anyone run that fast before in my life. Her scream was awesome too which you can hear on video below.
Big, Beautiful Macaws
The color in these birds is mind blowing! They are so close to you too so you can see every detail! Awesome birds!

Wild birds of Gatorland are Pretty Cool
Gorgeous Peacock up close and personal, an amazing huge bird that looks to have a vulture head and Egret or crane body and last but definitely not least we got to see a gorgeous mommy bird feeding her babies in the nest. I got great pics and a couple seconds of video but sadly my camera was at the end of it's battery when she was feeding them so I sadly missed it.

Feeding the Budgies Was So Much Fun! Great Photo Ops as Well!
Not only were they so cute and it was fun to feed them, but the room was immaculately clean and pleasant. I am not a bird person at all. My family was stunned and amazed that I went into an aviary at all. They asked me who I was and what I had done with mom but I had to get the video and photo ops that were happening in there. Once I saw the tiny colorful little bird land on our son's hat, I had to get pics and vids of that!

Gatorland Petting Zoo is Clean and Very Pleasant and the Animals are so Cute!
I love how they have their petting zoo set up at Gatorland. You don't walk in it or through it. You walk around it. No poopy shoes which is always a good thing. Once again, the animals are very well cared for and seem happy and comfortable which is always nice to see. So many fun things to do at Gatorland Orlando. A true gem of a place!

Central Florida MagicDr. SherriDisney and the large parks are awesome but there are some amazing experiences to be had at the places that are a bit smaller but no less wonderful. We have been to Gatorland and blueberry picking on a real farm with the prettiest views you have ever seen. Blueberries were awesome too. We have been to areas all around Central Florida and have enjoyed so much. Cannot wait to share it all with you on this blog. This site will be filling up over time.
