Bensons Animal Park

Bensons Animal Park was the place to go in the early 80's. If you were a kid you went there, to ride the coaster, to see the animals, to have a good time. Then it closed. The rides disappeared the animals moved, the fun was over.

There's not much left of the old fun park, little to show how many thousands of families visited during the summer. The kids who visited the animals, ate ice cream and would remember the place for the rest of their lives. Only a few buildings, all alone in the woods . . a housing development, and some pavement mark it's former location.
