Walt Disney World

A trip to Walt Disney World is a fun experience for tourists visiting Florida. The park was first opened in 1971, and the number of activities here has only grown over the years. You can see Epcot, Typhoon Lagoon Water Park, Magic Kingdom, Disney Hollywood Studios, or Animal Kingdom Park. In addition, multiple shopping areas and dining experiences specifically cater to adults. You will see there are many major attractions in Florida.

Everglades National Park

Florida is known for its Everglades, with 1.5 million acres of marsh and swamp. From crocodiles to panthers to turtles, you will find a variety of species in this ecosystem. The park is one of the largest in the country and provides a unique opportunity to observe these creatures in their natural habitat. The best way to see the Everglades is through airboat rides. There is also a walking trail where you can take a stroll if you have enough time on your hands.

Universal Studios

For many people, a trip to Universal Studios will trump their visit to Disney World. There are recreated sets based on movies along with fantastic theme rides. The place is also well known for its 3D and 4D-simulator rides. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter here is much larger than the one in California and includes Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. Harry Potter fans will experience a lifetime by roaming around the Hogsmeade village or boarding the Hogwarts Express.

Kennedy Space Center

The Kennedy Space Center is a spaceport for space exploration. The shuttle was retired in 2011 and has been replaced by Artemis as well as many private companies launching their respective vehicles. There are rocket launches almost every week from KSC and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. A lot of launches are to disperse satellites for communication purposes. We always tell people to use the Space Launch Now app that makes you aware of launches on the space coast as well as other launch sites around the world.

Castillo de San Marcos National Monument

Built by St. Augustine in the 17th century, Castillo de San Marcos is the oldest masonry fort in the U.S.A. During the 19th century, the fort was used as a military prison. However, today, the fort’s structure is also a testament to its strength, as it has endured many battles but never succumbed to any attacks.
