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!

The parks are great for non-stop fun and excitement, but there’s another side of Orlando that offers visitors the chance to see the beautiful, natural side of Florida. A popular alternative to the hsutle and bustle of the parks is a visit to Florida’s wetlands on an airboat tour. There are many areas you can visit on an airboat, but the closest one to your All Star Vacation Home is Boggy Creek Airboat Rides…about 14 miles from most of All Star’s homes. Florida’s wetlands are a cornucopia of various shore birds, turtles, fish, critters and of course, alligators. The tour boats glide effortlessly over the marshlands at speeds of up to 50 mph, but your tour guides stop often to point out the many different areas of interest or that local alligator sunning on the shore! Special group tours are available and you can book an evening sunset tour as well. It’s a different experience for everyone and may even be one of the highlights of your visit.
