Greetings From Forgotten Florida Once upon a time, there was a land of beautiful mermaids, dancing dolphins, glass-bottomed boats and coral castles. Each winter, thousands of families from all over America were drawn there - seeking the promise of sun, beaches and adventure. They came south in station wagons, by bus and by train, to visit the legendary tourist destinations of the era.
This light-hearted documentary tells the wonderful (and sometimes wacky) tale of Florida's golden age of tourism - from the invention of Goofy Golf to the adventures of Jungle Jane, from Parrot Jungle to Cypress Gardens. You'll travel to Marineland, which opened in 1938 and is home to the world's first dolphin show. You'll meet one of the original Weeki Wachee mermaids. And you'll visit Panama City's Miracle Strip, one of America's classic amusement parks.
Join us for a nostalgic look back at this magical time and place in Greetings From Forgotten Florida.
Greetings From Forgotten Florida is a 2011 family movie with a runtime of 59 minutes.
