Florida's "Grandparent" Attractions- A History   

Cypress Gardens imageWhen America first discovered Florida, the meccas for tourists were quite different than those that now draw millions of visitors. Names that were at the forefront of tourists' minds were Cypress Gardens, Silver Springs, Marineland, Weeki-Watchee Springs, Ross Allen's Institute, and others. Florida's natural offerings were center stage and showcased for all to see. They have faded in importance or are no longer in existence as they were. Take a nostalgic look at Florida's past and visit the grandparents of Disneyworld, Universal, and Sea World.
