Big Daddy Don Garlits Museum Of Drag Racing
It's a car museum for people who usually don't like car museums, because, well, dragsters aren't really cars. They're rocket bombs, fired horizontally. Crazy people -- like Big Daddy -- strap themselves into them and hope to survive. Don Garlits did this so many times, and he did it so well, that he was voted the #1 drag racer of the last half of the 20th century.
Monkey Jungle
When Joseph DuMond, an inquisitive animal behaviorist, released six monkeys into the wilds of a dense South Florida hammock in 1933, he didn’t realize his endeavors would help shape the attitudes of many in the primatological and zoological fields. The release fifty years ago of that small Java troop signified the beginning of the larger thriving troop that runs free at MONKEY JUNGLE today.
