Florida

Florida teems with places to go, things to do – and in such vast variety that nobody’s passion is denied. More than 100 years before the Pilgrims rocked Plymouth, the first Europeans set foot on American soil in “La Florida.”

Authentic Florida. That’s what you’ll discover when you vacation in the downtowns and small towns of the Sunshine State. So fill your next Florida vacation with local color and explore the Sunshine State like the locals do.

Family adventures are right around the corner in Florida’s downtowns, where some of the best museums and interactive science centers are located. Beaches, zoos, aquariums and theme parks are just minutes from Florida’s downtowns and small towns– making them the perfect starting point for your next Florida escape.

Follow nature’s path to discover Florida’s hidden splendors and escape in true solitude amidst landscapes of great beauty and diversity. When it’s time to see Florida’s great outdoors, lace up your hiking boots and head to trails that take you from one end of the state to the other. That’s the beauty of Florida’s “must-do” hikes: minimal commitment, maximum benefit.

Hit the greens 365 days a year, if you’re so inclined. That’s only one advantage Florida has over most other golf destinations in the U.S. The Sunshine State’s unique peninsular location provides a watery bonus (or curse, some would say): Dozens of holes within clear view of the shores, bays and inlets of the greatest water hazards in the east – the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.

Most of Florida needs no introduction. Its fame as a family destination for theme parks resounds around the world and draws visitors from every corner of said world. But this larger-than-life playground has more to offer than what lies behind turnstile gates. Visitors of all ages find shopping on scale with its other attractions as well as museums, sports, performance arts, green oases and outlying towns and neighborhoods with their own distinct personality.

Welcome to Florida. Be a kid again.
