Florida: The Lost Attractions

If you say, Florida, was on most people's minds?

Orlando and Disney World.

But what happens when Disney, Universal and Sea World visit? Is it to do something else? How about visiting some of the smaller attractions - those who are lost in the shuffle tends.

Lost? Where did they go?

Before "The Mouse" has arrived in Florida, there were attractions that we enjoyed Floridians. Smaller, with little or no rides, but in highSatisfaction. Some of these sites dried up after Disney, but many of them adapted and flourished. Let's take a look at some of these survivors.

Central Florida

As you can imagine, many of these smaller attractions in the region of Central Florida, an easy commute from Disney. Some of these attractions include:



Busch Gardens: My personal favorite of all the attractions lost. Just in a full day exploring, it has an African safari theme. By hugeRoller coasters, water attractions, to a journey through an African savannah, there is something for everyone.

Gatorland: Gatorland I visited a million times as a child. Okay, maybe not a million, but it was a popular destination for school field trips BD (Before Disney). There are alligators in abundance shows and watch fun.

Cypress Gardens: This attraction lost time was really lost - it had closed its doors, with no intention of re-opened. But miracles happen,because Cypress Gardens is back and more wonderful than ever! It is more than a yard of the way - there are countless shows and even some rides.

North Florida

There are a ton of small sites in North Florida, and pretty much all of them reside in St. Augustine. Here are a few of them for your attention:



Fountain of Youth: More than anything historical, it is the site of the original fountain of youth - the one of legend. When you visit us,can drink from the spring waters. Does it work? I have to leave that to you.

Ripley's Believe It or Not: That was the first of Ripley's museums, and perhaps the best. are all kinds of oddities abound. It's fun and worth a visit.

Potter's Wax Museum: Who knows who you'll encounter this lost its attraction? From historical figures, celebrities, the wax is a great way to spend an hour or two.

Where are some others?

Lost can be attractionsfound throughout Florida, from the panhandle to the keys, you only have to know where to find them. For more information about this wonder Florida, visit http://www.great-florida-vacations.com/florida-attractions.html

As you might guess, many of these smaller attractions are in the Central Florida area, an easy commute from Disney. Some of these attractions include:

Cypress Gardens: This lost attraction really was lost for awhile -- it had closed its doors, with no intention of re-opening. But miracles do happen, because Cypress Gardens is back and more wonderful than ever! It's more than just a garden by the way -- there are myriad shows and even some thrill rides.

There are a ton of small attractions in North Florida, and pretty much all of them reside in St. Augustine. Here are a few of them for your consideration:



Fountain of Youth: More historic than anything, it is the site of the original Fountain of Youth - the one of the legend. When you visit, you can drink from the spring's waters. Does it work? I'll have to leave that to you.

Ripley's Believe it or Not: This was the first of all the Ripley's museums, and perhaps the best. All kinds of oddities abound. It is fun and well worth a visit.

Potter's Wax Museum: Who know who you'll run into at this lost attraction? From historic figures to celebrities, the waxworks are a great way to spend an hour or two.

Where Are Some Others?

Lost attractions can be found all over Florida, from the Panhandle to the Keys; you just have to know where to find them. For more information on these Florida wonders, visit http://www.great-florida-vacations.com/florida-attractions.html
