Odd Tourist Attractions at The Florida Everglades

So you want to Actually watch the Florida Everglades, huh? It's possible, of course, hire a guide or have a tour but in the event that you truly wish the time of your life in your Florida Everglades holiday, you have to make it a point to stop by a number of these more unusual attractions and there's a plethora of those! Here are recorded just some of the more unusual ones:



Monkey Jungle: Monkey Jungle is currently in Miami. It was established in 1933 when Joseph DuMond introduced six crab-eating Macaques -- Java monkeys from Southeast Asia -- right into a ten-acre Florida hardwood hammock. The reptiles flourished and multiplied so Joe enlarged to thirty acres. The actors are territorial by nature consequently, needless to say, they started attacking the vacationers. This wasn't a fantastic thing but Joe did not need to cage the reptiles....so he did the upcoming logical thing. . .he caged the vacationers. You will surely enjoy this odd attraction. Visit Southwest Airlines Reservations to fly with the cheapest airfares to Florida.



Parrot Jungle: Parrot Jungle is also in Miami. It was started by Austrian immigrant Franz Scherr in 1936. Scherr needed a feed store where he maintained several parrots that were close to Monkey Jungle. He was constantly making ideas to DuMond and DuMond eventually told him if he understood so much he must open his own Jungle. . .which is precisely what Scherr did. Among the main attractions was a"Parrot Circus," in which the birds could pull chariots and fly a rocket to the moon. The celebrity had been Pinky, a cockatoo that rode a very small Parrot Jungle bike along a high wire. Believe it or not, Pinky is still living now but she performs. Her successor is Nikki. Pinky is currently 80 years old. You are going to want to take home a photograph of yourself with five or even five parrots clinging to your arms. No Florida Everglades holiday would be complete without one.



Skunk Ape Research Headquarters: (Do not anticipate a massive facility.) You'll Find the Skunk Ape Research Headquarters in Ochopee, Florida. It's a rather small city in the Florida Everglades. You've heard of BigFoot from the Pacific Northwest, of course, along with also the Skunk Ape of the Florida Everglades is seemingly a remote cousin. Based on Dave Shealyitself appointed Skunk Ape Expert, "There has never been a documented case of anyone being physically assaulted with a Skunk Ape but there's a good deal of people who enter the Everglades which never come out" The Skunk Ape is seemingly a very stinky, hairy biped that resides in the Florida Everglades. You do not need to miss this one!



The Old Jail: This is a whole lot of fun if you enjoy being scared out of your wits. This older pink stucco prison actually WAS a prison that actually did home offenders until 1953 when it turned into a tourist attraction. You're awarded by large scary"offenders" (celebrities ). You do not need to overlook that the photo op of getting your picture taken from the birdcage"!
