Attractions

So many of Central Florida's attraction are a short drive away from Kissimmee. 

Kennedy Space Center is more than an interesting place to visit, it’s living proof that humanity can reach higher and farther than we think. Kennedy Space Center is home to much of the activity that promises a new era of space exploration; one which will herald America’s return to the moon and perhaps even the first manned mission to Mars. Your physical self may remain earthbound, but your spirit will soar through Kennedy Space Center as you get up close and personal with the actual rockets, space capsules, and other equipment that have made space exploration possible. The full-day experience is packed with exhibits, movies, the new Shuttle Launch Experience ride, and the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame®. You’ll come to believe that the “sky isn’t the limit, it’s just the beginning.”

Fantasy of Flight offers an incredible immersion into the history of flight. Even those whose pursuits are more grounded will delight in this spectacular private collection of aircraft - including a vintage B-17 and P-51. Interactive exhibits, flight simulators, daily flight demonstrations, and guided tours will inspire the imagination in everyone. And you don’t have to fly there from Kissimmee. It’s just a short drive away.

To experience Old Florida at its most tranquil, head to Bok Tower Gardens, a National Historic Landmark, or ride a glass-bottom boat the through the world's largest artesian spring formation in the world at Silver Springs.

Discover new animal species (and how to protect them) at Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens or Buscsh Gardens, where you can also encounter SheiKra, a fierce, floorless, blazing-fast thrilling roller coaster.

All this and more is within your reach when you vacation in the heart of Florida.
