Cool link, thanks AL! Monkey Jungle, Parrot Jungle, Serpentarium, Alligator Farm, Lion Country Safari, Cypress Gardens are not on the list...my childhood is intact.
End of 1975, we were living in Miami, having been in the states for less than a year. My dad regularly piled us into an old, beat up VW with no A/C and took us to as many attractions in the colorful Florida brochure as possible. Just a bunch of poor, wide-eyed refugees gorging on Americana, Florida style. Driving through Lion Country Safari, no matter how hot it was, we all yelled from the backseat for my parents to keep the windows rolled up.
