    Top 10 Attractions in Florida

    Florida isn't called the sunshine state for nothing. With golden rays all year-round, and being the second-largest state east of the Mississippi, a lifetime isn't enough to see everything in Florida! However, here are some pretty good places to start.

    • Walt Disney World

      1. Walt Disney World

      The happiest place in the world, Walt Disney World welcomes millions of national and international visitors each year, adults and children alike!

    • Miami Beach

      2. Miami Beach

      Discover this Atlantic beach and how its delights go past sand and sea: check out the Botanical Gardens!

    • Kennedy Space Center

      3. Kennedy Space Center

      An out-of-this-world experience devoted to all things NASA. Stroll the US Astronaut Hall of Fame, take a simulated shuttle flight, and visit the Rocket Garden.

    • Florida Keys

      4. Florida Keys

      The Keys are ideal for a vacation, whether you're looking for action-packed or relaxed. Key West, the biggest island, also holds the Ernest Hemingway museum!

    • 5. Tampa Theater

      This isn't just any old theater - it's on the US National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1926, it's a lovely place to visit today - and not just to catch a movie!

    • Busch Gardens

      6. Busch Gardens

      At Tampa's Busch Gardens, you can get white-knuckle thrills on rollercoasters and see animals like giraffes all within a few acres of each other.

    • Salvador Dali Museum

      7. Salvador Dali Museum

      Dedicated to the eccentric Spanish painter, the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg will enthrall art fans. Check out the permanent exhibition of his works.

    • Wizarding World of Harry Potter

      8. Wizarding World of Harry Potter

      Are you still waiting on your Hogwarts acceptance letter? In the meantime you can still go shopping on Diagon Alley, ride through Gringotts, and watch the Tri-Wizard Tournament.

    • Everglades

      9. Everglades

      As the largest subtropical national park in the country, the Everglades is a must-visit for all outdoorsy types. Spot animals like crocodiles in protected wilderness!

    • 10. Sea Islands

      Lesser known than the Keys, this chain of islands in the north of the state is a little more laid-back. Relax in the company of idyllic beach houses and white sands.

    Planning Your Visit

    • When should I go?

      Florida is one of the southernmost American states, so it will be warm throughout the year. If you are not a fan of hot and humid weather, it is best to avoid the peak summer months.

    • When do things open?

      Generally, most attractions open around 9:00AM, but there will definitely be lines at the most popular ones. It may be worth your while to have an early start when going to Walt Disney World, for example.

    • What should I wear?

      The most important thing is to keep yourself protected from the blazing sun - that means reapplying sunscreen, staying in the shade around midday, and drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration.

    -Everglades Holiday Park, The park is currently under construction so it felt a little Tiger Kingy like when we arrived, but everything was very professional when you got a closer look -Airboat Ride, we had a great guide that spotted multiple gators for us and informed us about everything, he circled back so both sides of the boat saw the wildlife multiple times. Some other boats just sped along though, so your luck really just depends on your guide. -Gator show, was a little rushed. Only like 10 minutes long, only 2 tricks performed but pretty informative. -Bus, Our instructions said to meet at Soundscape park, so we took an Uber from Bayside Marketplace to Soundscape, only to be informed we were picking up the other half of our group from Bayside Marketplace. That wasn't an option when we booked our tour. The bus was cold like all the other reviews say. I'm pretty sure our bus driver left people behind since they weren't back to the bus in time. So pay attention to the time.

    From Miami: Half-Day Everglades Airboat Ride & Wildlife Show Reviewed by Preston, 1/11/2021

    Experience really good and the instructions on board were excellent, but the “office” is really a mess, very unorganized, lots of people who do not have reservations. I think they should have a specific line only for the reservations. My reservation time was 2:15pm and I ended up going around 4:30pm - long waiting time for someone who actually has a reservation. Also, if something like weather or other thing changes they don’t give you a refund, you must choose another attraction or come back another day (which is not a good option considering that not many people will come back). I think they should consider giving a refund if the person decides to.

    Miami: Parasailing Experience in Biscayne Bay Reviewed by Anonymous, 1/8/2021

    Great experience. Loved the wax statues. There were safety protocols in place, but as the quantity of guests increased people began to ignore the rules. We finished our tour and got out. Overall, I really enjoyed the displays.

    Orlando: Madame Tussauds Reviewed by Anonymous, 1/8/2021

    Such a great time thanks to Miguel, who was our tour guide guy. He taught us how to ride the Segways in no time. Super informational on the history of Ocean Dr. And definitely made our tour fun! Thanks again Miguel!

    South Beach Art Deco Segway Tour Reviewed by Cedric, 1/9/2021

    Tour is great for general introduction, immersion and complete sensory discovery of the Everglades and it's flora and fauna. Guide was very knowledgeable, informative and conversational.
