It was raining today and I was getting bored, so I decided to have some Tiki fun. I put together this post from my collection from the various tiki-themed amusement parks, bowling alleys etc. that flourished during the peak of the tiki period.

Let's start with the grand-daddy of them all, the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. There are lots of posts for this one so I will keep it brief.

A quick nod to the Tahitian Terrace as well

Other lesser amusement parks include Jungle Land in Storytown located in Lake George, NY. Are those Witcos by the door?

This is another Jungle Land at the Palisades Amusement Park in New Jersey.

You can see quite a bit of Tiki in the close up

One of my visual favorites, the Jungleland Queen and the Volcano on the Miracle
Strip at Panama City Beach, Florida

How about Sea World?

The towering A frame entrance.

The Hawaiian Punch Village areas.

Now on to one of my favorite subjects, tiki bowling.
The famous Kapu-Kai Tiki bowling alley in Los Angeles, CA (just got this killer card)

Here is the bowling alley at the Polynesian Gardens in Plantation Florida from another post by Bigbro.

Here are some Matchbooks from the Delta Bowl and the Kona Kove Lounge.

and the Tropic Bowl with the Outrigger Room

The famous Kona Lanes

The Tiki Bowling Lanes in Lancaster Ohio.

An ashtray from the Tropicana Lanes

Some other fun places.

The Tiki Hut Petting Zoo, Busch Gardens, Tampa, FL

Here are a couple cards from The Hawaiian Village located at the Windsor Hills Mall in Oklahoma City

The Hawaiian Queen Train

Trader Jacks Juice Bar

Another Tiki Train from the Newport Dunes.

And to close, Tiki Gardens.

Hope you had fun, feel free to add some more.
