Family Fun
Family vacations are all about huge grins, frequent hugs, and lots of laughter. It’s one spectacular day after another of snapshot moments as your family shares the best of times together.
Kissimmee is at the heart of everything that’s Florida and should be the center of your family vacation. With Kissimmee as your hub, your family can easily achieve all (or very close to all) the “must do’s” on your vacation wish list.
For a Central Florida vacation, theme parks are generally at the top of the list and all three of the major park resorts, Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal Orlando® Resort, and SeaWorld® Orlando are easily accessible from throughout the Kissimmee area. While the theme parks provide day-long sources of fun, many other adventures await your family in Kissimmee. We call them Kissimmee Treasures because you will find a treasure chest of special moments and memories just waiting for your family. Enjoy one of Central Florida’s oldest family attractions at Gatorland, the “Alligator Capital of the World.” After seeing hundreds of gators, you’ll enjoy the thrill of seeing just one in the wild. You can seek that goal several ways – with the wind-in-your-face thrill of an airboat ride, the whoosh of a zip line safari or a the bounce of a cracker coach swamp tour at Forever Florida. There are more attractions and activities throughout the Kissimmee area than you can cover in just one vacation. That’s why we invite you to return often to Kissimmee, the heart of Florida.
Getting to know the “real” Florida, enjoying outdoor activities, the lakes, the wildlife, is one of the greatest joys of a Kissimmee vacation. There is an abundance of trails for hiking, biking, or horseback riding; and you just might want to wet a line and test your skills against the wiley bass of the world-renowned Kissimmee Chain of Lakes. Professional fishing guides help assure you’ll find just the spot where the fish are biting. The thrill of seeing your children, or grandchildren, reel in a lunker bass, or see an American bald eagle in flight for the first time, happens just once. Such lifetime memories await your family when you vacation in Kissimmee, the heart of Florida.
Hit the Links …
If your family’s idea of enjoying the great outdoors leans more toward manicured greens, rather than the wild variety, Kissimmee is just right for you. With championship golf courses designed by legends of the game, and with three acclaimed golf academies located here, you will need to bring the family again and again to meet the challenges.
… and the Malls
Shoppers especially take delight in a Kissimmee vacation. The Kissimmee area could easily fill an all-shopping vacation, should that be your fantasy. The range covers the full gamut from very upscale boutiques and department stores at the Mall of Mallenia to massive flea markets that include large farmers’ markets. Bargain shoppers absolutely cannot pass up major outlet centers; antiquers need to head to the historic downtowns of Kissimmee and St. Cloud and Celebration offers more upscale shops and boutiques.
Evening Events
As the sun heads to the west, your family will want to head to one of our fabulous dinner shows. Each provides a uniquely different experience and a fabulous evening’s entertainment unlike any other. If it’s Friday or Saturday night, head to Old Town for their popular car cruises – the Saturday Nite Cruise® features classics; and Friday night new cars and customs. Live entertainment creates a festive street-party atmosphere throughout the shopping, dining, and entertainment complex.
Vacation time is family time, and we invite you discover your family’s heart’s desires in Kissimmee, the heart of Florida.
