Tropical Wonderland (previously Florida Wonderland) was an amusement park in Titusville, Florida at the intersection of US Highway 1 and Florida State Road 50 that operated from 1959 until 1973. It had numerous animal exhibits including monkeys and an elephant, an old west and Native American village, a train ride, and other attractions. The park was plagued with multiple animal escapes.[1][2] One escape resulted in the death of the park’s elephant when it was struck by a truck on US 1 in 1966.[3]
