It’s Hatching Season here at Gatorama, and while the babies are in the incubators, we thought we’d give you a little information to help make your Festival Experience everything it can be.

We have been active research partners with The University of Florida for many years. This year the results are in! As part of our mission to preserve the species continues, we are going to let Mother Nature take full control of The Hatching Festival this year, even down to the time of day.

Mother Nature is funny, she doesn’t like to be rushed and has yet to get a watch, so we will hatch no baby until it’s ready. Don’t worry, in all the years we have had the Hatching Festival, we’ve always been able to accommodate our guests. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the time printed on your hatch ticket.

In order to adhere to CDC recommendations, you will be hatching in small groups. That means your ticket time is actually a window (10-12 or 2-4). When you check in, you’ll be given a ticket for your hatching group. This way, you can enjoy the park and listen for your group to be called. Okee reports that it’s an egg-cellent presentation by Gatorama’s own Allen Register.
