Marineland 1958 (or so...)

Just found this in some papers from my dad's trip to LA in the mid/late 50's.  The stuff he saved from this trip forms the backbone of my POP and Knott's collections.  I've posted POP stuff from time-to-time; maybe I'll dig into the Knott's next.

At any rate, this is from Marineland and provides a nice overview of the property, including a helpful map and show schedule.  On verso is a map to the location and some general information.

I went to Marineland once or twice as a kid; I don't have vivid memories of it, but I do wish I had trespassed on the property when it was intact but abandonned.

A nice flyer for Marineland fans...

I've never seen a Marineland item this old before, as far as I know! Cool...

AH...Marineland. I remember going there years ago...and POP too. I noticed on the map that the Harbor Fwy was once "US 6". I can remember seeing the signs with that number in downtown LA.

I wish I had done some trespassing too! I didn't even realize that a lot of it was just sitting there abandoned for years....until it was too late!

This is a very nice item. Thanks for sharing it. I miss Marineland!
