Florida is widely recognized for its diverse tourist attractions like Disney World and popular vacation spots, including Miami. It’s no wonder that there has been a 12.9% increase in tourists who fly to Florida annually.

Seeing these benefits, you can plan a trip to this state. Florida has something for everyone, from the greatest places to see to thrilling, adventurous activities. Here are a few you can consider. 

  1. Board a glass bottom boat

Since the 1870s, tourists have been drawn to the historic glass bottom boat rides on the Silver River in central Florida. The pristine waters fed by springs, the nearby marine life, and the artifacts from the Spanish and native American cultures draw tourists. You might even spot remnants of the Hollywood underwater film industry at the park.

There are two options: a 90-minute excursion accessible Friday through Monday or a 30-minute boat ride that runs all year. Unsurprisingly, Florida is one of the most popular boating cities in the US.  

  1. Test your wild side at the Orlando Tree Trek

Orlando Tree Trek’s outdoor ropes courses are extremely enjoyable. You can test your strength and capacity on one of the ropes courses or go on a 400-foot zipline. The courses are separated into four color categories based on their level and difficulty. Orlando Tree Trek is enjoyable for the whole family because it offers two kid-friendly courses. 

  1. Visit the winter park

Winter Park, located just north of Orlando, is a world apart from the busy metropolis. Wander through the Park Avenue neighborhood surrounded by trees and explore many well-known eateries and shops.

The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art and the Rollins Museum of Art are other landmarks in the city. There are over 70 parks to explore for outdoor enthusiasts. The one-hour guided tour travels around three lakes in the Winter Park chain of lakes, providing views of the magnificent homes constructed along the shoreline and a chance to observe wildlife in the area. 

  1. Explore the Devil’s Den Spring

Visit  Devil’s Den Spring to explore a different realm. Scuba diving and snorkeling allow visitors to explore this privately owned underground river. This experience is unique due to the crystal clear waters and underground sections. Devil’s Den is presently available to the public. 

  1. Go to the Kennedy Space Center

With five mission zones spanning 144,000 acres, the Kennedy Space Center offers interactive exhibits, 3D simulators, and sights on space exploration and human space travel’s history.

This vast complex is best explored during an 11-hour small group VIP excursion. You will receive transportation to and from your accommodation, a scenic bus tour highlighting the iconic sights, and other benefits under a space specialist’s guidance. 

  1. See the tarpon spring sponge docks

Tarpon Springs, also referred to as the sponge capital of the world, has a distinctive past and a strong Greek legacy.

The natural sea sponges that the saltwater fishing community is famous for were collected by divers from the Gulf of Mexico in the late 1880s. By 1905, more than 500 Greek divers operating 50 boats were employed in the sector.
