Mickey Mouse, spaceships and speed tracks…that’s the common perception of central Florida. But there’s a multitude of superb attractions for all the family throughout the middle of the Sunshine State. Some of the finest beaches in the world, picturesque nature trails, history waiting to be explored and you can even go fishing with manatees! Of course, Orlando, Cape Canaveral and Daytona have all the family fun you could ever wish for, so let’s go on a voyage of discovery…
OCALA & SILVER SPRINGS The city’s name is derived from an Indian word meaning ‘Big Hammock’ and Ocala certainly has that laid-back appeal. It is no more than a 90-minute drive to either the Gulf or Atlantic coasts and handy for all the theme and water parks around Orlando. Love horse riding? You’re in the right
spot as there are many farms offering you the chance to saddle up. The area is surrounded by rivers, lakes and hiking trails. The main trail in the Ocala National Forest is the crown jewel of the 1,500-mile Florida Trail system. Silver Springs is home to one of
Florida’s most popular attractions, the glass-bottom boat tours where you will get an amazing view of wildlife in the seven major spring formations. Waiting to be admired are alligators,
turtles and dozens of species of fish. You can also take in the local history and displays include a Seminole Indian village.
DAYTONA BEACH Speed fans know exactly what Daytona stands for…thrilling motorsport! Years ago, cars sped up and down the hard-packed beach, then Daytona International Speedway was built and now they roar round the track.
