Sunshine State. You’ll have an unforgettable time and it will make your stay in Florida even more fun.
Snorkel Biscayne National Park
Do you and your kids love sea life? Biscayne National Park is ideal for getting an up-close look at life under the sea with a snorkeling expedition! Located near Miami, Biscayne Park is home to all kinds of sea life that you can get a glimpse of a snorkeling adventure, including:
- Sea turtles
- Stingrays
- Dolphins
- Tropical fish
This great outdoor Florida experience will give your family an educational taste of aquatic life in and around the subtropical waters of Key Biscayne. It will create some very colorful memories that you and your loved ones will never forget.
Fish the Deep Sea or Shallow Lakes
If your family prefers to hook and reel in fish instead of just looking at them, Florida is the ideal place for that too. There’s no better place for a deep-sea fishing expedition than Florida, where you can catch trophy fish like king mackerel, mahi-mahi, or even swordfish. (And once you’ve hooked it, turn your swordfish into something special with this delicious recipe.)
Or, if you prefer a more relaxing fishing experience, you can also fly fish! Florida in the summer is one of the best fly-fishing destinations, with locations all over filled with tarpon, redfish, and snook.
Explore the Everglades
Camping is one of the best ways to bond as a family and enjoy the great outdoors, and one of the best places to do it in Florida is Everglades National Park. The Everglades is a must-visit for any nature lover, as it’s filled with exotic animal and plant life you won’t find anywhere else. There are numerous ways to explore and have fun at the Everglades, including:
- Hiking
- Biking
- Kayaking
- Canoeing
- Wildlife viewing (including alligators!)
Tube Kelly Park Rock Springs
Is your favorite ride at a water park the lazy river? If so, don’t miss the opportunity to explore and experience Florida’s natural lazy river at the Kelly Park Rock Springs. Located just outside Orlando, the warm and comfortable streams of Rock Springs are the ideal place to relax and enjoy Florida’s beautiful weather, lake region, and stunning nature. Just make sure to bring a tube and get there early because space is limited.
