Gator Week | Wild Florida Adventure Park

IT'S HERE!

Join us for Gator Week!

May 25-30, 2026

It’s no secret we know a thing or two about alligators. To share this knowledge and passion with our visitors, our team at Wild Florida Adventure Park will host a one-of-a-kind event centered around one of Florida’s most recognizable, yet misunderstood animals… the American alligator!

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, we decided to dedicate 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 our Gator Park.

The best part is we’ll be giving everyone who makes a small cash donation to Wild Florida Cares FREE admission to our Gator Park during Gator Week! Bills donated will help graduating Osceola County high school seniors pay for college.

Join us May 25-30, 2026 for Gator Week, where you and your family can enjoy a week full of gator-themed activities and demonstrations. Keep an eye out for the schedule!

Our mission

To promote education, conservation and eliminate detrimental myths about alligators.

Alligator Myth DEBUNKED

Alligators CAN bite underwater!

If you live in Florida (or anywhere that has alligators, really), you’ve probably heard your fair share of “foolproof” ways to scare off or escape from alligators, by running in a zigzag pattern, etc. We’re not sure who started these myths, but one is if you dive underwater, an alligator won’t bite you…

This is completely false. Don’t believe us? Check out our YouTube video to watch the Wild Florida team test the myth for ourselves!
