Benson's Animal Park 20 Years later

20 years after the long-standing zoo and amusement park closed, we visited to take stock of the place, what remained and what would only live in our memories. This video tells that story.

I used to work at Benson's during the mid to late 70s (I drove the train, LOL) thanks for the memories, kind of sad to see what has happened to it.

Thanks for posting the video.

They are thinking of converting it into a park. I think that would be nice - it's a lovely piece of land. You probably drove the train when I rode it! (Mid to late 70s I was there a lot).

Anyone else think that the new Bensons Park would be a good place for a haunted hayride type deal??
