Information you can follow.

Research here means checking information used in our visitor guidance and cultural writing. It does not mean that Apollonaut operates a laboratory, employs an academic research department or has completed original scientific studies.

For opening hours, shows, rules and admission, the first source is Gatorland’s own website. For the park’s history, we also used a general reference that cites its sources. All can be read directly through the links provided.

1. 01

   Start with the relevant source

   Use the venue for its own visitor rules and history. Use an identified reference for dates, figures and institutional facts.

2. 02

   Keep time-sensitive details dated

   Prices, opening hours, show times and eligibility can change. A past arrangement or old tariff must not become a current promise.

3. 03

   Separate fact from interpretation

   A sourced date is different from an editorial impression. Make the distinction clear in the writing.

4. 04

   Keep uncertainty visible

   If sources disagree or a detail is unverified, omit the claim or explain the limit. Animals move between habitats, so we do not promise that any particular animal will be on view.

A starting price, a venue admission price and the total charged for a booking are different figures. A useful comparison must identify the same access, visitor category, date, currency and included fees.

Our prices are in US dollars and include our service fee, so they are higher than the park’s own admission prices. We do not claim the lowest price or publish a market comparison.

• How our service works→

The aim is to make source links and meaningful updates easy to find. A material correction should explain what changed rather than quietly leaving contradictory information elsewhere on the site.

The history copy was checked against the reading links below on 10 November 2026. This date records that review; it is not a guarantee that future opening hours or admission rules will remain the same.
