Florida is America's backyard, the biggest, coolest backyard in the country. From the swing set (the mind-boggling theme parks of Orlando and Tampa) to the sandbox (hundreds of miles of beautiful beaches) to the wading pool (the mighty Atlantic Ocean and magnificent Gulf of Mexico), Florida is where the whole world comes to relax, to play, and to pretend for a week or two that grown-up cares have been banished from the world.
Florida for Families will push you on the swing, bury you in the sand, and splash you in the pool, but it will do more than just show you the things you already know. Florida is filled with very special places, hidden treasures that can make your vacation a one-of-a-kind experience for everyone in your family. For example:
● There's an aquarium about every three blocks in Florida, but we'll take you to a unique one where you can meet sick and injured dolphins and sea turtles being nursed back to health
● Zoos are everywhere, but why not go somewhere that keeps the humans caged up so the animals can run free
● You can visit the oldest house in America--or the building that's 400 years older
● You can talk with an astronaut, see real pirate gold, drive around the Daytona Speedway, or buy something at one of the world's largest flea markets and along one of its most expensive shopping streets on the same day
● Brave souls can ride a bicycle along a tightrope, nature lovers will marvel at a single tree that's wider than a football field, and everyone will love taking a boat ride among the alligators--as long as they keep their hands in the boat!
Florida for Families will show you all this and much more.
