We were actually a bit surprised about how cool an experience it was. There was a lot to explore at Gatorland. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

I would love to live in florida one day.

Thank you for your thoughtful comments. We were unaware that the gators only get used on one show a day so that is good to hear. We tried to be pretty fair about the whole thing in our video. We mentioned (as you state) that the gators know their handlers - and we stated the gators seem to be willingly going along with parts of the show since there is no human who could make a full grown gator hold his mouth open if he didnt want to do so. I do like your comparison of taking cats to the groomer (or vet). You are right - it is very stressful and we do make our cat go. But we only do that because we think there is a benefit to the cat in doing so, even though one assumes the cat can't understand that. If someone was stressing out their cat just for entertainment and not for some good reason, that would likely irritate me. I kind of look at gator wrestling in that way. As we said in the video, the gators don't seem to be getting hurt physically but they are being stressed out for something that doesn't really benefit them. Add to that the fact that alligator wrestlers do occasionally get injured by gators if they decide to stop cooperating and I am just not sure it is worth it. We understand there are plenty of people who disagree though. I do hope the gators are being well treated and cared for (and didn't see anything that made me think otherwise). As we said in the video, while we found this show hard to watch, we loved everything else we experienced at Gatorland and would probably go again sometime... though we might skip the alligator wrestling show. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts with us.

We enjoyed seeing all of these animals up close. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching - and liking - and taking time to leave a comment. We always appreciate your support!

Yeah, that raccoon probably doesn’t realize how lucky it is that the door was locked to the gator enclosure. The place has really been built up over the years. We loved seeing the gators and other animals up close. Everything except the gator wrestling. Thanks for watching and commenting!

We had a great visit to Gatorland. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

It really was! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

Thanks so much for watching. We are glad you enjoyed our tour of Gatorland!

We had a great time seeing the animals of Gatorland. Thanks you so much for your kind words. We appreciate your support! We hope you are having a great weekend as well.

It really did look interesting x

We have driven by it numerous times and weren't sure we wanted to go. But we had an afternoon off on the most recent trip and really enjoyed it overall. We were glad we went!

@@trvlnthru it’s still one of our favorite places to go. I guess it brings back a lot of memories when our kids were little

We also had spent years hearing about it and never going. We were actually pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

Thanks for the added info! We enjoyed our visit to Gatorland.

Yeah, gator wrestling does seem like a very dangerous pursuit. I am surprised Gatorland’s insurance company allows it. LOL. But it really was big and had a lot of fun areas to explore. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

That little raccoon was adorable. It is probably in his best interest that he couldn't get into the alligator enclosure though. LOL. Gatorland was a lot of fun overall. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

It is a really cool place to check out actually. But, yeah, we’d pass on watching more alligator wrestling. Thanks for watching and commenting!

LOL. That is quite a memory. I suppose it is hard to keep track of large herds of kids on a field trip. But one should definitely make sure the kid whose arm they are grabbing is one from the group before the grabbing begins. Hope you also had some enjoyable memories of Gatorland too. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

Overly exploitive there with the wrestling and photo ops...🛡️

The giant poop eating rodents were something to behold. As were the food thieving birds. But overall, with the exception of the gator wrestling, we found a lot to explore and enjoy here. We really were expecting a place about a fourth of this size with just alligators to look at - and we knew about the alligator wrestling show. So we didn't think this was going to be a place we could recommend. But it turned out to be fun and we do recommend it - even if we wish they would find another way to show off their gators rather than wrestling.

Agreed. We skipped it for years and it ended up being a lot bigger and a lot more interesting and entertaining than we thought it would be! By the way… we have missed seeing your videos lately. Are you posting somewhere else or have you just been too busy to post lately? Whatever the case, hope you are both well!

It really was a fun place to spend the afternoon with some up close look at some animals. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yeah, I get it. We passed this place on the road in Orlando many times over the years and never went because we didn't think it would be our scene. We were pleasantly surprised with most of it though. Just being able to see the gators, and other animals up close was great. Obviously, we ended up not enjoying gator wrestling at all though. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

I am not sure there are many opportunities for career advancement in the gator wrestler field. So maybe it is good he didn't grow up to be a gator wrestliner. LOL. Yeah, I don't want to do a regular zip line. Then you put a bunch of gators under it? Never. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!

@@trvlnthru 😂🤣 yep we’re glad he chose the computer field and not gator wrestling 🤣😂

I think you would enjoy it. There was a lot to do and see here. But yeah - skip the gator wrestling. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment!

Thanks for watching, and for taking the time to Like and Comment!

@trvln_thru easy to do when you are awesome people making awesome content.
