Marineland

It has made great strides to return to a "tourist destination park"
If you have not visited it in the last 20 years, Go! You will enjoy it. The area has several good resturants to eat at, and some of the best seafood you ever tasted.
The Flagler county MetroJacksonville.com does not need to hear the. St. Johns, Duval county residents need to visit soon.
Do not buy shoes there!

I thought Marineland was long gone. Been awhile since I have been down that way.

While you're down there check out Washington Oaks State Park and Gardens. Very nice!

I can't believe it an incorporated community, with a population of 3!

Jason · September 23, 2009, 03:36:43 PM

Pretty neat huh! I think the whole town is about 2 or 3 square miles big.

They should grant residency status to the porpoises.

British Shoe Company · September 23, 2009, 08:24:26 PM

Oh Billy, Billy, Billy. Sea turtles need the status much more.

It is a great 1 day sabbatical!

Awards for saving the sea turtles were given out today, and we should thank the people who took the time to help the "Hero's in a half shell" live on.

Their web site lists hotels to stay at from Amelia Island down. Just how close are those restaurants? Last time I was down there to fish it was stil much less than it used to be.

Restaurant prices are lower in Flagler County, and they have quality restaurants. (not 5 diamond) like PVIC, or Amelia Island Plantation. & not ( 5 diamond prices either )

I absolutely hated this place as a child. It reminds me of a wanna sea world. It bored the heck of me. I hated those field trips. (ugh) $:-\$

Sorry Dude, but only a pajama clad, pinko, communist, gook, could hate Marineland. Granted the original version was "the real deal" and I think they royally screwed up with that was all bulldozed, the new one looking like a Walgreens without windows. The hotel and in park restaurant and trails are also history as is the old bus station.

Sea World might be a copy of Marineland on steroids but never the other way around, Marineland was a mature park and research facility before Seaworld was a spark in it's developers eyes.
