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!
