This guy seemed to think it was fine to boat through a 100 or so of 'em. Not sure I'd have done it, but he came through fine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

The gators are intimidating, but they really never did seem aggressive at all. They're literally all over, and at the visitor center area they can be quite close to the tourists, with no barriers. I was a lot more worried about snakes, really. Having said all that, I wouldn't put a kid in the water near one I could see. Why risk it? Rumored giant catfish, though, sure, why not? ;-)
