GatorWorld Parks of Florida is a 15 acre entertainment park in addition to being a rescue and relocation facility for alligators in Florida. The drive-thru park is located on State Route 44 near Interstate 75.

Overview
Don Buckner, the founder of Vac-Tron Equipment, founded GatorWorld in 2017 to rescue alligators from euthanasia and give them a sanctuary. The alligators are farm-raised or nuisance alligators that were rescued from neighborhoods and brought to the park instead of being destroyed. The alligators come from Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, northern Mexico and South America. GatorWorld is one of seven alligator farms in Florida open to the public and is home to over 400 alligators.

The operation has a gravel roadway that enables visitors to drive through the park to view alligators fenced in a natural habitat. The park features a petting zoo, alligator feeding stations, a bunny farm, and alligator interaction areas. The park is handicap accessible.
