Are there any remnants of these places left?

Buena Vista? That's the name of the fecal coliform infested lake I always used to swim in when I lived in California.

Re: Buena Vista
The Exotic Animal Paradise was here, you were right about that - well, technically it was in Strafford. It actually closed officially on Oct. 1, 2006. I was there the day before and took some photos of the place. Unfortunately none of them really turned out good. The place already had an abandoned feel to it before it closed because it just wasn't attracting enough people, wasn't making enough money and therefore wasn't being taken care of.
However, it did not stay closed for long. It's already opened back up with a different owner and new name

Re: Buena Vista
I don't know if anyone posted a thread, but a group from the forum went out there the night they were rounding up animals.

Re: Buena Vista
In case anyone is interested, I went to Exotic Animal Paradise right before it closed and took lots of pictures. Unfortunately, I had some major camera problems and the majority of them did not turn out at all. But I did manage to salvage a few and you can view them HERE

I like the curious camel leaning in the window. Can just see him thinking,"Got any food in there for me?"
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

Damn! Must've closed that park down when someone sued 'em for the cost of a prosthetic after that zebra chewed a little kid's ear off.
