Florida

Guidebook

A giant orange on a tower tops displays of sunshine living, space tests at Cape Kennedy and a free, live-porpoise show. View the Amusement Area Map Locate It: A7 The State Exhibit Hall contains exhibits of fine art and shows the life, sports and produce of Florida. Elsewhere are a full-sized Florida home and models of other houses. PORPOISE SHOW. Porpoises and seals perform in a stadium. The porpoises "sing" and play ball; the seals juggle and catch rings. SNACKS AND PICNICS. Visitors may buy light refreshments and take them to a nearby picnic area outside the pavilion. The description of this exhibit from the 1965 Official Guide Book A flock of pretty pink, though raucous-voiced, flamingos lends authenticity to Florida's palm-shaded Everglades exhibit. A few alligators are also included in the exhibit, but -- obviously -- they are kept in a separate pen, well away from the birds.
