A house for a Gatorland day on the south side of Orlando

01Gatorland

Gatorland calls itself the alligator capital of the world and has the numbers to argue it: a wildlife park of thousands of alligators and crocodiles on the south side of Orlando, with a breeding-marsh boardwalk and observation tower, gator-wrestling and feeding shows, a petting zoo and the Screamin' Gator Zip Line that crosses the marsh.

It is old Florida rather than a modern theme park, which is the charm: a few hours, not a full day, and a stop that pairs with SeaWorld or the airport side of town.

The table below has every home's drive time to Gatorland, SeaWorld, the airport and Walt Disney World.

02What happens here, and when

05Worth knowing

• Morning is the active time for the gators; afternoons they sleep.
• The zip line is a separate ticket and books its own time slots.
• It is close to Orlando International Airport, a natural last-morning stop before a flight.
