Description: This documentary tells the amazing story of one of America's most famous vintage roadside attractions, Aquarena Springs, located in San Marcos, Texas
My name is Bop Phillips and I grew up in San Marcos Texas.
I had the good fortune of working at Aquarena Springs Tourist Attraction from 1962 to 1972. It was a wonderful, magical place and those memories are still with me.
It’s hard to find an American tourist attraction more legendary than Aquarena Springs, San Marcos, Texas . For a time, it was second only to the Alamo as the Lone Star state’s most popular destination. Where else could you see a pig swim with mermaids, or Glurpo the Clown smoke underwater?
