Defunct Roadside Attractions

The family vacation may not be quite the summertime staple it once was, but there’s still money to be made when mom and dad pack up the SUV and haul the kiddies off for fun in the sun.

Where there’s a dollar to be spent, there’s usually someone trying to figure out a way to get it. And when it comes to “unique” attractions, Florida seems to have been home to no shortage of offbeat themes.

A Wild West park with a porpoise show? A tribute to the SST? A fun stroll through tragic events in American history?

From LostParks.com, here are just a few of the gone-but-not-quite-forgotten attractions that once graced roadsides in the Sunshine State:

Floridaland

The Haunted Mansion

King Henry’s Feast

Masterpiece Gardens

The SST Museum

The Tragedy in U.S. History Museum

Weapons of the World

Xanadu Home of the Future
