Gatorland is located at 14501 South Orange Blossom Trail, also known as US Routes 441, 17, and 92, in the southern fringes of Orlando. It is seven miles south of the Florida Mall and 3.5 miles north of US 192 in Kissimmee. To reach Gatorland from I-4, take either the Bee Line Expressway (SR 538) or Central Florida Parkway east to Orange Blossom Trail and turn right.
Gatorland will be on your left as you drive south, made prominent by its trademark alligator jaws entrance. There is parking for about 500 cars, which gives you an indication of the size of the crowds they expect. Parking is free and all spaces are a short walk from the entrance.
