When people think of vacations to Florida, they often focus on the variety of theme parks. While those are certainly worth a visit, there’s a wealth of attractions and entertainment throughout Central Florida. Kissimmee, which is ideally located for visiting both the parks and other local attractions, has plenty to enjoy for the whole family. So when you plan your trip, add in some free time for these great options and be sure you book one of the Fantasy World vacation villas in Kissimmee Florida for a truly comfortable and convenient stay.

Start your day off, while it’s still cooler, with some outdoor family fun.

If you prefer to get your thrills a little closer to the ground, put the pedal to the metal and check out Kissimmee Go-Karts! With the longest track in Central Florida, coming in at just under a mile, there’s plenty of track to enjoy for everyone ages 11 and up. Younger family members can still enjoy the thrill as a passenger.

Don’t miss out on the renowned flora and fauna that makes Florida so spectacular. Take in the scenery of the Everglades or other swamp areas on one of the exhilarating airboats. These boats are a fun and fantastic way of taking in the beautiful scenery of cypress trees and knees, lily pads, and other aquatic plants, as well as the animals that make their home there, including turtles, snakes, birds, and, of course, alligators. Boggy Bottoms Airboat Adventures includes packages that let you enjoy some Boggy Bottom BBQ while you’re out exploring.

This iconic attraction is a 110-acre theme park dedicated to gators, as well as other native animals, including the Florida panther and the Florida bobcat. There are also crocodiles, snakes, tortoises, and other animals to see and learn more about from the experts. Plus, there’s plenty of other fun to be had including a zip-line over the breeding pond and off-road adventures.

Finally, for a special day trip, don’t miss another iconic Florida attraction: the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. Adults will be thrilled to see the launch pads where numerous space shuttles took off, and visitors of all ages will love exploring the complex that includes rockets, IMAX films, museums, and even an Astronaut Training Experience.
