Gaylord Palms is checking-in a few new guests from Wild Florida this year! On December 4, 2020, Wild Florida officially partnered with Gaylord Palms to provide up-close animal encounters and brand new educational and interactive experiences for their guests. 

It’s no secret we know a thing or two about alligators. To share this knowledge and passion with visitors, we're hosting our 4th Annual Gator Week June 8-13, and offering free admission to our Gator Park for the heroes of the COVID-19 crisis including first responders and essential workers.

An Orlando airboat ride through the Florida Everglades is definitely one of the best ways to get up close and personal with Florida wildlife, but we can't let you forget about all of the animals in our Gator Park. Many animals that call the Gator Park home come from countries all over the world, but some of them are rescued right here in Central Florida. Floridians are typically familiar with most Gator Park animals, but there is always something to learn when visiting Wild Florida. If you can't wait until your next adventure to learn some more about the animals, dive deep into these six.

Our airboat tours are what bring thousands of tourists and locals alike to our attraction. But there’s more to our adventures than what you’ll experience out in the open water. Inside our Gator Park, there are more than 200 exotic and native animals you can see. However, in the effort of promoting conservation, we also offer hands-on educational animal interactions with certain animal ambassadors. On the blog, we’re highlighting the six animal encounters you can experience while visiting Wild Florida, that you and your family are sure to love!
