Know before you go

What’s not allowed

• No pets allowed. We know they’re part of the family, but they’ll need to sit this one out.

• Please don’t touch the animals. It’s for their safety and yours.

• Feeding the animals isn’t allowed since they’re on a special diet.

• No yelling or teasing, please. A calm environment is much better for the animals.

• Don’t tap on the glass or bang on enclosures as it can be really stressful for them.

• No throwing objects into the habitats. It could hurt the animals or disrupt their space.

• Smoking and vaping aren’t allowed anywhere in the Gator Park.

• Stay behind fences and barriers. They’re there to keep both you and the animals safe.

Accessibility

• Getting around is fairly easy. There’s a wheelchair-accessible ramp right behind the gift shop that leads to the airboat loading area.

• Just a heads-up: there are a few steps down to the boat, so if you're using a wheelchair, you’ll need a bit of help getting on board.

• Inside the Gator Park, the paths are made of compacted shells and concrete, and all exhibits are on ground level, making it super wheelchair-friendly.

Additional information

• Plan to arrive at least 45-min early to check in before your airboat tour.

• Little ones aged 2 years and under ride for free.

• Anyone under 16 years old and younger must be accompanied by an adult while exploring the Gator Park.
