Florida's First Tourist Attraction?
Ойын-сауық
What Was Florida's First Tourist Trap? That honor belongs to Silver Springs Park near Ocala which has been operating since before the Civil War! In this video, we cover the history of Silver Springs Nature Park and Wild Waters Water Park!

Thank you!
As a central Floridian, these videos have been a great reminder of all the history of where I live. Glad the park was turned back into a typical state park.

Wow, I had no clue it was an amusement and water park and for so many years! It’s cool that they still have the glass bottom boat rides still and that it is more nature focused again! Great info!

@@RuffLifeGraphics Sweet! I have some camping equipment I haven't had the chance to use yet, maybe I'll break it out soon for a nice trip to a spring. Thank you!
Florida is a faint memory of what it once was so many beautiful clean places I used to camp and fish are now housing developments truly saddens me

That might be the nicest compliment I’ve ever gotten on a video! Defunctland and BrightSunFilms both inspired me so much
