See Gatorland come alive with new Gator Night Shine experience

Guests visiting Gatorland can experience the park in a whole new way with the Gator Night Shine Experience.

Starting at dusk, visitors will follow a guide for a private tour after hours, taking them along the winding wooden walkways into the alligator breeding marsh. Each guest will receive a flashlight and hot dogs to feed the alligators.

Those who sign up for the 1 1/2-hour tour will get the chance to see and hear Gatorland as it comes to life after dark, thanks to the hundreds of wild birds and alligators who reside there. Guests can even have an up-close encounter with their guide to see other exotic animals like boa constrictors, baby alligators, tarantulas and more.

Gator Night Shine tickets are $24.99 per person, plus tax. Tickets must be bought at least 24 hours in advance, either online or over the phone at (407) 855-5496.
