Description
EVERGLADES GATORLAND RUINS
Off of a stretch of U.S. Highway 27 in Florida there sits the ruins of a once popular tourist attraction near South Bay, FL. Everglades Gatorland opened in 1959 and featured a gas station, food, a gift shop, and of course live alligators and other wildlife. Tourists used to come by the busload to this roadside attraction which remained popular through the 1970's until the theme parks gradually took away the business and U.S. Highway 27 became more of a roadway for locals rather than tourists.
UPDATE: Everglades Gatorland was eventually demolished in 2021/2022 and the land it once stood on is now being developed.
