Kissimmee, Florida travel advice
A short drive south of Orlando finds you in sunny, friendly Kissimmee. Here you’ll be near all the theme parks, but you’ll be away from the bustling crowds. Rentals will cost less than a stay in Orlando, so you’ll have extra cash to spend on park tickets and meals. This area also offers activities for those who love outdoor exploration, with exotic plants and animals in the local nature preserves.
Top attractions
The Florida theme parks are the major draw for visitors to the area. Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter draw millions of families every year.
The fun doesn’t stop as kids and adults alike can mingle with their favorite characters, feel the chills and thrills of amusement rides, and cool off in the area’s water parks. If the theme parks don’t meet your need for speed, spend an afternoon at Fun Spot America. With two unique go-kart tracks and 18 rides you’ll be dizzy with delight.
The
Museum of Military History offers exhibits that highlight the bravery and humanity of the men and women who have served in the armed forces. Genuine artifacts, military relics, photographs and memorable accounts by former soldiers are on display here.
For some Florida history, stop in to Osceola County Pioneer Village and Museum. This museum features many exhibits depicting life in the 19th century. The Pioneer Village has a general store, blacksmith shop, one room schoolhouse, and nature preserve.
Family-friendly activities
Strap on your hiking boots and take off on the
Shingle Creek Regional Trail. The trail offers a beautiful, natural environment for cyclists, pedestrians, canoeists/kayakers, bird watchers and other nature lovers. A wide variety of habitats on the trail include Lake Tohopekaliga waterfront and islands, a pristine cypress swamp, an orange grove and wild grasslands.
For a more cuddly experience, Green Meadows Petting Farm has over 50 acres of animals to greet and family rides. If you’re visiting during spring training, stop in to see the Houston Astros practice as Osceola County Stadium.
Of course, the options for fun aren’t limited to the parks. For golfers, Central Florida is a veritable paradise. With dozens of
award-winning courses within a few square miles, you should definitely pack your clubs when visiting. If your family prefers mini-golf you have plenty of options, too.
