September 9, 2017

Press Release from Gatorland:

Gatorland®, the “Alligator Capital of the World,” will remain open regular business hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 9 in advance of the course of Hurricane Irma.


For the safety of guests, employees and animals, the park will be closed on Sunday, September 10 and Monday, September 11. Gatorland plans to open for regular business at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, September 12th.  For more information go to www.gatorland.com or call 800-393-JAWS.

In addition to the new Baby Gator Marsh that opened this summer, Gatorland will open the brand-new Gator Joe’s Adventure Outpost and Stompin’ Gator Off-Road Adventure in Fall 2017.  Stompin’ Gator Off-Road Adventure will take guests into a section of the park that has never been seen, running alongside the swamps that feed the headwaters of the everglades.  Each of the three monster-style, off-road vehicles seats 12 riders, plus the driver, and is decorated to represent iconic alligators and crocodiles in Gatorland’s rich history.  Gator Joe’s Adventure Outpost will be located in front of the Stompin’ Gator Off-Road Adventure, and serve as the park’s home base for reserving and purchasing all separately-ticketed park adventures, including the Stompin’ Gator Off-Road Adventure, Screamin’ Gator Zip Line, Adventure Hour, Gator Night Shine, and Trainer For The Day.
