It is only a short 15-20 minute drive away from other top attractions like Walt Disney World and Sea World, and close to Orlando International Airport. For detailed driving directions from several starting points in the area, you can refer to their website.

When is the best time to visit Gatorland?

Gatorland is open daily from 10 AM to 5 PM. To avoid the crowds try and plan a mid-week morning visit. The park is located in a swampy wetland environment and it can get very hot and humid. October and November are typically the best months to visit the park as it is cooler and there is less chance of rain.

Shows and performances take place throughout the day though, so you will not miss out no matter what time you arrive.
