The Florida Attractions Association (1949 - Present) is a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to guaranteeing quality, fair pricing, and ethical operational practices throughout Florida's tourist attraction industry. Founded by several Florida attractions, including Cypress Gardens, Monkey Jungle, Parrot Jungle, and Silver Springs, today the Florida Attractions Association now numbers over 120 member attractions that range from major theme parks to zoos and aquariums, sightseeing tours, museums, and historical landmarks. Membership in the Association is very prestigious and member organizations commit to a Code of Practices that ensures hospitality, courtesy, integrity, and cleanliness. More by this mapmaker...
