Gatorland:
The place opened in the 1940’s, along Florida’s second most traveled highway, so owner Owen Godwin Sr. thought it would be a perfect spot for a roadside attraction — and he was right. He opened the place under the name Snake Village, and re-named it Gatorland in 1954. Disneyworld, Universal Studios and Sea World would later decide to build their attractions just up the road. |
