What are your must do's outside of the parks
Hi,
In 2023 we are hoping to go back to Florida. We are debating whether to do a trip without parks as we have not done this before. What are your must do's or recommendations? We plan to have a car this time and looking at staying various places depending on what we plan. So far I have (its not a lot!): Airboat ride (not sure where yet) Go to see some alligators Visit winter gardens Visit celebration Trip to Kennedy space center Might add Busch gardens on as never done that before

Have you thought about Discovery Cove? It's a fantastic place. Went back in 2014 but have booked again for this April 🙂

If you’re looking for different experiences, how about Kissimmee Rodeo, Circle B Bar reserve, Amazing Animals, Silvermoon drive in or Wekiwa Springs canoeing?
Even the museums in Orlando are great! |

I will look into Discovery Cove, we did go in 2013 but our DD does not remember it. It was such a lovely day when we went before.

Rifle range ? Helicopter flight (doesn’t last long though). Busch Gardens then on to Gulf coast for an overnight stay, such as Clearwater and ride on the seascreamer (other boats available !). A couple of hours drive to St Augustine. Fun Spot, Shopping (this gets my vote !).
I’d like to do this but need to check weight limits first so I don’t embarrass myself 😱 iflyworld/orlando/ Edited at 12:33 PM. |

For simple leisurely strolling and sitting stuff as opposed to "action" things.
Winter Park for scenic boat ride and Morse Museum (for Tiffany glass). Harry Leu gardens about 5 miles from WP so could do on same day. Scenic lake and canal ride at Mout Dora. Bok Tower and gardens. You've mentioned Celebration. If your 2023 trip is over Christmas you must go and tour the houses at night. Mick
