Golf N Gator is home to 30 American Alligators of different ages and sizes! These animals are usually found only in the southeastern United States. According to Florida State University, over 1.5 million Alligators inhabit Florida. Our gators spend their time just like wild gators: lurking in the water or sunbathing on land.

 

While you are here, you can hold our young gators and feed the bigger ones in the swamp. 

We have a wonderful staff of educated handlers that are ready to make your gator experience a memory to last a lifetime! 

 

 

 

 

 

• The average size for a female American Alligator is 8 feet and the average size for a male is 11 feet.

• Both males and females have an "armored" body with a muscular flat tail.

• They have a long snout with upward facing nostrils so they can breathe while the rest of their body is underwater. Alligators have between 74 and 80 teeth in their mouth at a time. As the teeth wear down they are replaced.

• An alligator can go through 2,000 to 3,000 teeth in a lifetime.

• Alligators are usually found in freshwater, in slow-moving rivers. They are also found in swamps, marshes and lakes. They can only tolerate salt water for brief periods of time as they do not have salt glands.

• Alligators eat fish, snails, birds, frogs and mammals that come to the waters edge.

• American Alligators have an average life span of 50 years in the wild.
