Gatorade's Birthplace

🎟️ Attraction in Daysville, Gainesville, FL

Located in Daysville, Gatorade's Birthplace marks where the sports drink was developed in 1965 by University of Florida researchers. The beverage was originally created for student-athletes to replenish fluids and electrolytes lost during vigorous activity.

Something unique: Stokely-Van Camp acquired the rights to produce and market the brand in 1965 before PepsiCo eventually purchased it in 2001.
