Fudpucker’s Gator Beach

Destin, FL 32541
United States

Go behind the scenes with the GATOR TEAM in an all access once-in-a-lifetime adventure at Gator Beach:

  • You’ll help a professionally trained Gator Handler open the park for the day.
  • You will actually be a part of the GATOR TEAM and get hands-on experience helping perform some of the most vital and important responsibilities at Gator Beach.
  • You’ll learn how the amazing American Alligators who call this park their “home” are cared for every single day, and you’ll do it up close (but safely).
  • Your experience will be packed with some amazing information about these spectacular reptiles.
  • As the World’s Greatest Alligator Park, there is everything from a baby alligator exhibit to a real live alligator habitat with over 100 juvenile and young adult alligators.
  • By helping open the park, you will come away with an experience like nowhere else and it is guaranteed to not “cost you an arm or a leg”.

Team Composition:

  • There is a requirement that the GATOR TEAM must have two (2) participants to help the Gator Handler open the park. In the event that only one participant is scheduled on a given day, the Gator Handler will contact you the day before in order to reschedule your V.I.P. Tour (or, if necessary, to refund your payment).
  • If you are interested in a large party reservation (8-12 guests), then contact us at (615) 679-8483

Activity Highlights:

  • You will receive a personalized GATOR TEAM name tag to wear while you help open the park.
  • You will feed juvenile and young adult alligators, up close in their habitat.
  • You will help with feeding the “baby” alligators in their special habitat.
  • You will have a photo taken of you holding a live alligator.
  • You will always be safe while gaining a greater understanding of the amazing alligator.
  • Last, but not least, you will actually be paid for your help. In return for helping “open the park”, each GATOR TEAM Member will receive a voucher that can be applied to a meal upstairs at FUDPUCKER’S BEACHSIDE BAR & GRILL (and trust us – you will have earned it!)

Entertaining, informational, and unforgettable – and, to boot (not alligator, of course), you will be done by lunch, so you can spend the rest of the day telling your friends and family about this amazing experience!
