14501 S. Orange Blossom Trail (US 441)
Orlando, FL , 32837 Phone: 800-393-5297 Website Gatorland is a 110-acre theme park and wildlife preserve located along South Orange Blossom Trail south of Orlando. Founded 69 years ago by Owen Godwin on former cattle land in 1949, it has been privately owned by his family since then. Billed as the "Alligator Capital of the World," Gatorland features thousands of alligators and crocodiles, a breeding marsh with boardwalk and observation tower, reptile shows, aviary, petting zoo, swamp walk, and educational programs. The park is known for buying and rescuing nuisance alligators from trappers that would otherwise be killed for their meat and skin. The Breeding Marsh area of the park was used in the filming of the 1984 movie Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
This location has two penny machines. They are accessible only if you buy entrance to the park for $24. If you are a Florida resident, ask for the pass that is good for the family for the rest of the year. An alternate phone number is 407-855-5496.

Went on a trip January 2023, found three machines. They have moved some machines around the park.
Machine labeled 2 containing trespassers will be eaten, gator x-ing oh snap with gator head, and gatorland with gator head jumping up from water is found just inside park near where you can feed the young gators on a fishing pole.
Another with the tortoise, chin hold, Zipline over gators, and gator entrance is beside a photo booth where you can purchase photos they take of you beside a gator statue on the strip with the petting zoo, it is right beside the white wax gator statue maker and an identification tag maker.
Last machine I found a little is beside a photo booth where you can purchase photos they take of you beside a gator statue on the strip with the petting zoo, it is right beside the white wax gator statue maker and an identification tag makerThis contains a full gator body, a snake, the gatorland train, and a penny that says gatorland. This one can run a little short but didn't compromise the images terribly. Might have not lined things up well?
All the machines are dollar bills only (no quarters) penny is included. Alternatively you can pay with a credit or debit card. THIS AUTOMATICALLY COSTS 4$ AND INCLUDES ALL 4 PENNIES! KEEP CRANKING UNTIL THEY ALL COME OUT!
Token machine is 5$ per coin or all 4 for 15$. This is by the Zipline purchase place.
Ran all over the place trying to find more machines and could not find :( asked an employee who worked at the photo booth (literally beside the penny machine) and she had no idea what I was talking about. Happy penny hunting!
