Gatorland Trainer for a Day

Experience the Trainer for a Day program and get a glimpse into what it takes to be able to work with, and around dangerous animals. This is your chance to hold a baby alligator and embark on a backstage tour that gets you up close and personal with some of the largest alligators and crocodiles.

Next, is a hands-on meeting with some of the reptiles and creepy crawlers from the Upclose Encounters Show and the grand finale: work with a Gatorland trainer in the Gator Wrestling Arena.

Afterwards, sink your teeth into this 110-acre alligator theme park and a wildlife preserve that for over half a century has been welcoming visitors through its gaping gator mouth entrance. As well as an incredible display of alligators and crocodiles, Gatorland also features a number of shows including the unique alligator wrestling show in a shaded 800 seat stadium. Attractions include:

• 2-hour Trainer for a Day experience
• Incredible display of huge alligators and crocodiles
• A breeding marsh with boardwalk and observation tower
• Wrestling alligators!! Gator wranglers catch an alligator by hand and climb onto the snapping animal's back to point out survival features to the audience. After performing dramatic stunts the alligator is rolled over and put to sleep...then woken by a tickle!
