What the Screamin’ Gator Zipline Actually Is –For the Moms Asking

If you’ve never done it, let me set the scene. The Screamin’ Gator Zipline is:

• Launched from heights up to 65 feet
• Five intense ziplines ranging from 230 feet to more than 500 feet long
• Includes a swinging bridge over the park’s main walkway
• Speeds up to 30 miles per hour
• You are flying directly over 130+ giant alligators and crocodiles

I said what I said. Real alligators. Real crocs. Real wind in your hair. Real screaming. (It’s not called the Screamin’ Gator Zipline for nothing.)

It has been voted “Best Zipline in the USA” by AOL Travel and “Best Zipline or Ropes Course in Orlando” by Orlando Weekly readers every single year since 2019. So you’re not paying for some random zipline — you’re paying for the actual top-rated one in the country, in our own backyard, at $27 off.

Why I Love a Gatorland Day for Central Florida Families

Here’s the thing about Gatorland that makes me share it on Orlando Mom: it’s the anti-theme-park theme park. Originally opened in 1949 as a Florida roadside attraction, the park just celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2024 — and it still has that gorgeous, weird, charming Old Florida soul that the big parks lost a long time ago.

It’s been voted Best Attraction That’s Not a Theme Park by Orlando Weekly readers every year since 2016, and named both Best Wildlife Preserve (Orlando Style Magazine) and Best Hidden Gem (Watermark Magazine) in 2023. Locals know.

What you actually get inside the park:

• Thousands of alligators and crocodiles
• The breeding marsh with the observation tower (genuinely stunning)
• The popular capybara encounter (mom, the capybaras)
• A free-flight aviary
• Nature walk and petting zoo
• Educational wildlife programs
• One-of-a-kind shows: Gator Jumparoo, Alligators – Legends of the Swamp, and Up-close Encounters
• Florida’s best train ride (their words, but also, kind of true)
• Gator Gully Splash Park (yes, on-site splash pad — bring suits!)
• An on-site restaurant
• The Stompin’ Gator Off-Road Adventure and the brand-new Croc Rock Three-in-One Adventure if you want even more

It’s 125 acres of “wait, I forgot how fun this place is.”

My Honest Orlando Mom Take on Gatorland

If you have older kiddos brave enough for the zipline — or honestly, if you and your partner want a date day with an adrenaline kick — this is a steal. You get the actual zipline experience PLUS a full day at one of Central Florida’s most beloved local attractions for almost $30 less per ticket.

A few Orlando Mom pro tips:

• Book online — the deal is online only.
• Pick a weekday. Less crowded AND the deal is valid. Win-win.
• Pack swim stuff for Gator Gully Splash Park (the kids will thank you).
• Wear closed-toe shoes for the zipline.
• Bring water bottles — Florida sun is no joke. (And speaking of, don’t forget the sun protection routine before you head out.)
