Above is the famous "Toucan Sign" which was installed in the 1950's to direct visitors to Caribbean Gardens. Correct me if I am wrong Bob Cline, but did it stand on the corner of Goodlette Road and old highway 41? Due to structural damage during hurricane Wilma it was dismantled and the Toucan has been given a place of honor, below at the African Safari.

Wade,
That sign was down when I worked for them if I recall correctly. Great set of Pics. I loved the Chippewa Lake gift shop / Entrance. Been a long time since I saw anything from there.
Thanks.
Bob
