Gatorland is My Favorite Unusual Vacation Spot

Gatorland is my favorite unusual vacation spot. It is at the head of the Florida Everglades in Central Florida. It is a 110 acre nature conservatory and theme park and started in 1949 as a roadside attraction.

Gatorland has a selection of different adventures for you to try including "Gator Night Shine" where you walk along the Breeding Marsh with flashlights. You can see the red eyes of the gators looking back at yo.

Or the "Adventure Hour" where you go into the Breeding Marsh for the opportunity to feed the gators and pose for pictures with them.

Or "Rookie Wrestling" where you can go to the Gator Wrestlin’ Arena and have about a dozen alligators swimming around you and you can get a picture of your experience.
