It boasts a rich history from its tourism days to its connection with two African American men who had a strong impact and influence over its 30+ year run. In this series, come and join me as I dive deep into the world of Rainbow Springs from its past history to its current present. This beautiful place will not disappoint.

    Very well done!
    I grew up near there, in Yankeetown, and went to Dunnellon High School.
    Before that, when I was 10 years old in 1970, I played Boy in a Tarzan movie that was filmed, in part on the Rainbow River.
    It was a South American production company and I’ve never seen the film.
    Great work on the video.

    Absolutely outstanding post and production!
    I met this fellow years ago. I was a kid in the early 60’s.
    I spent many trips on the glass bottom boats. I went to his house and did a shower interview. The tape was lost and I thought this piece of rich history was lost. Congratulations on your project and best wishes as you continue your productions!

      Aww man that’s amazing! You got to experience a piece of history nonetheless. I wish I could have experienced the glass bottom boats they looked like a lot of fun. The place is still beautiful and serene. Thank you so much for the kind words I appreciate them truly!

    Great video really well done! I remember this place very well when I was a little kid when it was an attraction in the 1960s i used to have a 8 mm movie of it that my mom filmed the submarine Boats were great there was also a big porthole window looking out the front in the movie I remember it showing looking out the big front porthole window a duck swimming on the surface from underwater. The monorail that looked like it was made of a big green leaf was cool too
