Info
Africa USA was an African wildlife tourist attraction that was open from 1953 until 1961. The park was located in Boca Raton, Florida, on 300 acres (1.2 km2) of land near U.S. 1. Walt Disney was a frequent visitor to the theme park and considered purchasing it. Even though Disney's Animal Kingdom in Walt Disney World was hailed as a new concept, the idea had existed some 45 years prior in South Florida. Africa USA was chosen over Disneyland to appear on the cover of the August 1, 1960, issue of Life magazine.
