Florida may be known for it’s theme parks, but did you know Florida is also the “Fishing Capital of the World?” Less than 15 miles from the All Star Hospitality Center, there are some of the best freshwater fishing lakes in the country. Throw in a line along many of the public-access piers available along the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes, or take a guided tour in your search for “the big one.” You can also find that many tour operators offer eco-tours and nature tours as well as guided fishing excursions. Also, less than an hour from All Star’s Hospitality Center you’ll find ocean fishing piers, fishing charters, and places to surf-cast all along the east coast of Florida. Called the “Space Coast,” there’s plenty to do and see so while the fishermen in the family go off on the charter. The rest of the group
can tour the Kennedy Space Center, get some sun on the famous “Cocoa Beach,” do some surfing or swimming or shop at the world-famous Ron Jon Surf Shop that’s open 24 hours a day!

Gatorland is a one-of-a-kind, protected conservation habitat where you’ll find unexpected adventures around every corner! Well-known as the Alligator Capital of the World, Gatorland’s 110-acre theme park and nature conservatory is located in Central Florida at the head of the Florida Everglades. Once you have experienced Gatorland, you’ll want to come back again and again! Locals love Gatorland’s Nature Walks through undisturbed conservancy areas and the wide variety of animal exhibits you won’t find anywhere else. Little ones can pet baby goats and have nectar-loving birds literally eat from their hands and perch anywhere there’s an available cup of nectar! And, of course, there are gators! Lots of ‘em! Small ones, big ones, hungry ones and not-so-hungry ones. There are even gator replicas to climb on for that photo op the kids crave! Be sure to catch the animal shows that offer fun and entertainment but also help to educate all of us about the animal world and how we can help preserve it for future generations.

While the theme parks beckon many travelers, there’s a part of Florida many rarely see…and it’s closer than you might think. The Kissimmee area offers a wide variety of eco-friendly adventures perfect for the whole family, from Eco Safaris by swamp buggy or horseback to scenic airboat tours of the wildlife-filled wetlands. If you prefer your wildlife at a distance, the Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens in Sanford might be a better choice. Go wild this summer and check out Florida’s natural wonders.
