Kissimmee Treasures

How do you define fun? Is it something that makes your heart race from the sheer thrill of the moment, like speeding down a vertical drop on a rollercoaster track? Or is it a more sedate pursuit such as a leisurely walk in the woods spying wild flowers and enjoying nature’s symphony?

Spend the day soaking up all the sopping wet fun at the area’s famous water parks. You’ll feel your heart race on adrenaline-pumping water slides, and slow down again as you float down a lazy river with the kids splashing along by your side.

Back on dry land, indulge your need for speed in a fast-paced go-kart race. Issue a challenge for the first hole-in-one at a creatively themed mini-golf course. Get an up-close view of a 500-pound alligator that can reach lengths of over 11 feet. For a truly unique vertical thrill, soar above it all in a hot air balloon for a rare bird’s eye view of Kissimmee’s sights and scenery. For a more horizontal airborne experience, try flying a vintage WWII fighter trainer. It is the real thing, not a simulator.

Kissimmee's Old Town offers something for everyone—lots of things, in fact. Enjoy a delicious meal at any of eight restaurants, climb aboard 18 exciting rides, and shop to your heart’s content at 75 specialty shops. The Saturday Nite Cruise is a 19-year-old tradition that is a must to see restored classics; and the Friday Nite Cruise features newer cars.

So go ahead. Live in the moment, and have all the fun you can handle while you’re visiting Kissimmee.
