That was my favorite Fla vacation spot. It was such a fun place!...and yes, I saw the monkeys. I saw my 1st Kodiak bear there. They are huge...and I loved feeding the giraffes and cruising in the glass bottomed boats. Great memories! I think it’s just a state camping place now and no one wants to deal with the herpes monkeys anyway...sigh
When I was a kid, we went to Silver Springs on field trips when I was in elementary school. Across the street there was an attraction called Six Gun Territory, it was like an old west cowboy town where they staged mock shootouts, etc.
