Different things to do around Haines City area?
We are staying at Southern Dunes next August, never stayed here before only ever been to Mannys in this area and nothing else. Any recommendations of places to visit or restaurants to try would be gratefully received.

Bok Tower Gardens... a beautiful and relaxing place away from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks. Take a picnic and eat while listening to the carillon.

The community outdoor pool at Lake Eva is really great, especially for kids. It has a whole water play area and slide. Not expensive at all, lovely sun loungers and really clean. Lovely half day out.

Posner Park also has a cinema. North on the US27 is Lake Louise State Park which is a great open air space and further up the road Lakeridge Vineyard which offer tastings. On the way into Claremont is a tower dedicated to (think from memory as it was a few years ago we went) the orange growing industry. You have to pay to go up but the day we were there you could see for miles.
