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.
