Motorcoach
With its wealth of attractions and activities for visitors of all ages, Kissimmee is a popular destination for group motorcoach travel. Your team at the Kissimmee CVB can help you design tours that are uniquely tailored to the interests of your motorcoach tour clients. We can also help you find group accommodations, dining or catering options, group discounts, and other logistical details, and offer guidance on bus parking and motorcoach regulations in the Kissimmee area. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
If group members enjoy walking tours, plan a stroll through Kissimmee’s historic downtown district, where war memorials and colorful murals depict the town’s colorful history. They can also compare their travels at the impressive Monument of States, built of stones from every state in the U.S. and many foreign countries. Nearby St. Cloud is “The Friendly Soldier City,” where Veteran’s Park pays tribute to all veterans who have served our country. While in St. Cloud, plan a visit to East Lake Toho. Your clients can relax on the beach or visit several tranquil fishing spots.
Your clients can also take advantage of our beautiful weather by spending the day fishing on Kissimmee’s Chain of Lakes, world renowned for bass fishing. In fact, Lake Toho, located in downtown Kissimmee, is a favorite destination for avid bass fishermen from around the world. There is also the opportunity to fish for barramundi, the legendary Australian sportfish, in Kissimmee. If group members are seeking a unique angling experience, arrange for them to spend an adventurous day fishing for these ferocious fighters.
For the baseball fans in each group, plan visits for February or March when major league teams return to Central Florida for spring training. These Grapefruit League games are just as exciting as regular season games — maybe more so — because group members are even closer to the action. For more great spectator action, plan group motorcoach tours around Silver Spurs Rodeo’s twice-yearly performances in Kissimmee. A popular Osceola County tradition since 1944, the Silver Spurs Rodeo offers high-energy displays of bull riding, steer wrestling and barrel racing — and it’s the largest rodeo east of the Mississippi.
Shopping is a favorite activity for many groups. Plan a visit to downtown Kissimmee, Celebration, or nearby St. Cloud, where your clients can browse the charming boutiques and vintage shops selling trendy and classic clothing, home furnishings, antiques, collectibles, and so much more. If they can’t resist a bargain, plan a visit to Prime Outlets, Orlando Premium Outlets, and Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores, for premium and designer items at reduced prices.
You may feel that no visit to The Heart of Florida would be complete for your clients without planning visits to the legendary parks — theme and water — this area is known for. Afterwards, keep the entertainment going after dark with a visit to one of Kissimmee’s famed dinner shows. Themed dining entertainment got its start right here, and no place does it better.
