Gator Week returns to Wild Florida with Gator Themed Activities, Demos and Free Admission

It’s no secret that Wild Florida know a thing or two about alligators, and to share this knowledge and passion, the're hosting a one-of-a-kind event centered around one of Florida’s most recognizable, yet misunderstood animals… the American alligator!

Wild Florida will once again be hosting Gator Week from May 29 – June 3, 2023,

To many, alligators are simply fierce carnivores on the hunt, but that’s not actually the case. Like many misunderstood creatures, myths develop based on a lack of knowledge. Because of this, Wild Florida are dedicating an entire week to educating and debunking many common myths surrounding these reptiles, along with some of their reptile cousins, through live demonstrations and interactive experiences.

There will be plenty of fun photo-ops and guest appearances made by some popular inhabitants of the Gator Park.

The best part is everyone who makes a small cash donation to the Wild Florida Scholarship Fun will get FREE admission to ther Gator Park during Gator Week!

Money donated will help graduating Osceola County high school seniors pay for college.
