“We’re honored that so many people in Central Florida voted for us in two of Orlando’s well-known reader polls,” said Mark McHugh, President and CEO of Gatorland. “We feel the love, especially after re-opening our doors in May following the temporary closure we all experienced here in our local industry. On behalf of Gatorland, our entire team and our new Social Distancing Skunk Ape, we say thank you.”
As a thank you to locals for voting for Gatorland, the park is offering 50 percent off deals for single day admissions through September, and a $30 off deal on the Screamin’ Gator Zip Line, so visitors can experience for themselves these award-winning attractions.
