Have many happy memories of this place, circa mid-70s. But keeping them in captivity.

(20,253 posts)4. When I was a kid, we went to the Seaquarium on our school outings.
It was always a treat to get to go there, the Monkey Jungle, the Zoo and Matheson Hammock Park for a tour of the gardens and nature center with our bagged lunches. Sad to see an educational experience and childhood memories go by the way of Father Time.
