Marineland is a seven-acre marine life theme park, which is located on the beach along A1A, 30 minutes north of Daytona Beach and 15 minutes south of St. Augustine. It’s the world’s first oceanarium, founded in 1937, and contains two large aquariums, a presentation studio and several other smaller exhibits. Marineland is not a theme park in the usual sense, however. There are no shows to watch the animals do tricks, but rather it’s a park that shows visitors how marine life learns, hunts and lives in their natural environment.
The 7 foot(2 m) marble statue of Neptune is located in Neptune Park, a nice landscaped area along the historic 1938 entrance to Marineland.
A news article mentions the Neptune statue in "Marineland celebrates its past while moving forward" (
