Jacksonville, Florida - Mini Golf Dinosaur
This shocking orange boi, relic of a long forgotten time (I'm guessing the '70s), rests on his huge femur cane and gazes west, perhaps away from the comet coming to kill him or bulldozers from the beaches. Either way. Evidence of fresh paint near his feet, a good sign!

- Port Orange, Florida - Ruins of Bongoland
If you appreciate gardens, this place is quite wonderful! The dinosaurs are an added bonus. They have weddings here, apparently, too. Many paths -- wear walking shoes. They have two donation boxes -- a red one at the entrance and one near the restrooms.

The absolute best kind of kitschy. This place is filled with endless giddy surprises of but wait... theres more!. The zoo exceeded our expectations. SO MANY ANIMALS! Definitely worth paying extra to see and feed them. They all seem healthy and well taken care of. The camel was my favorite. Besides the zoo... there's the dinosaur exhibit, taxidermy room, spooky mannequins, and more!
