Monkey!57 viewsLook close. That is a rhesus monkey in the tree living in the Florida wilds. Originally brought into Florida as part of the attraction, they were put on an island. Little did they know, monkeys swim very well and escaped into the wilds. The theme park is on the edge of the Ocala National Forest.

Gator racing!57 views6 lanes with 6 gators. 25 cents a bet. You can bet on 2 gators max. In the background, they are throwing 4-5 inch foam dice. The 2 numbers that come up move 2 gators one space each or doubles moves 1 gator 2 spaces. They race down to the end and back. First gator to cross the line wins and all bettors on him share the proceeds (a little over a dollar each when I played). They have 8 races and for the last race the gators must speed back and forth across the track twice.

Why I went to Silver Springs56 viewsFor only $50 for a season pass, you can see soap hunks and music stars in concert. The pass provides free parking and free entry into the park and concerts. Bring your own chair, plunk it down wherever you want on the lawn under the trees in front of the amphitheater. Nearly any location provides a great view, lots of leg room, and wonderful sound. Buy a souvenir cup for $5.99 and get refills any day all season for only $1. Bring it back with you week after week.
