Looking for a Halloween adventure that will make your heart race, your hands shake and your friends question your sanity? Forget haunted houses and pumpkin spice lattes—how about coming face-to-face with some of Florida’s most fearsome reptiles? At Wild Florida’s Gator Park, you and your family can test your bravery against the monsters of the animal kingdom. So, build up your courage and explore what’s waiting for you at Wild Florida!
Take a Spooky Airboat Ride Through Florida’s Swamp
If you think haunted hayrides are exciting, then get ready to take things up a notch. Swap the cozy farm setting for a high-speed ride through the murky headwaters of the Everglades on one of our airboats! Perfect for both kids and adults, Wild Florida’s airboat rides bring you up close and personal with alligators in their natural habitat for unique Halloween fun.
Even in the daylight, the swamp has an eerie magic about it. With Spanish moss hanging from Cypress trees, mysterious ripples in the water and the occasional splash from an unseen creature, the thrill is real. You’ll have a chance to see the mighty American alligator wading across the murky water with its eyes just barely peeking above it. And don’t forget the ride itself—zipping across the water at exhilarating speeds will leave your heart pounding.
Meet Our Largest Gator
You can’t stop by Wild Florida without visiting one of our most famous resident alligators: Crusher! Crusher is an American alligator and a true heavyweight champion of Wild Florida. Measuring a jaw-dropping 14 feet in length and weighing 1,000 pounds, Crusher is the ultimate representation of why these ancient reptiles have survived for millions of years. Seeing Crusher’s massive size up close is enough to make anyone's blood run cold. But trust us, that’s just the beginning of what’s in store.
You’ll soon understand why Crusher got his name once you see him in action during our live show. Watch in awe as Crusher’s powerful jaws snap shut with lightning speed, all while our brave Croc Squad rewards him for his incredible behavior. They’ll even step into the water alongside this massive beast, performing terrifying stunts that will leave you holding your breath. Make sure you don’t miss out, and check out Crusher’s show times!
Face the Feeding Pit
But why stop there? Go behind the scenes of our Alligator Feeding Show by experiencing our Gator Feeding Encounter. You’ll use a feeding pole to lure these massive beasts to the shore or make them jump for their meal from the water. Feel the thrill as you see them up close, watching every move as they chomp down. The Gator Feeding Encounter is available for ages 12 and up, so bring your bravest young adventurers for Halloween fun they’ll never forget!
Get Inside a Gator Enclosure
Haunted houses have nothing on our Albino Gator Training Encounter. If you want something scarier than cobwebs and plastic skeletons, dare to enter the lair of our ghostly predators. Meet Snowflake and Blizzard, our two resident albino alligators. Though they may be smaller than Crusher, don’t let their pale appearance fool you—these gators are still a force to be reckoned with. Blizzard stretches an intimidating 10 feet while Snowflake lurks at 8 feet of pure muscle.
In this animal encounter, you’ll take on the role of an alligator trainer. You’ll learn to use verbal cues to call our gators forward and reward them with their favorite treats. The scariest part? These alligators will be inches away from you with no glass and no barrier in between. But don’t worry! The Croc Squad will keep things safe, even as you face these ghostly gators up close. It’s a thrilling test of nerves that might leave you trembling more than any haunted house could.
For an unforgettable Halloween activity, come experience Wild Florida Gator Park! From thrilling alligator encounters to adrenaline-pumping rides, we offer scary fun to have you and your family on the edge of your seats.
