Florida is a Great Winter Vacation Destination! Amy Smith, February 20, 2017January 31, 2024 Baby, it’s cold outside! If you’re like me, you are ready to see the sunshine again! We all know that Florida is home to Disney World, Sea World, and Busch Gardens. However, there is so much more to see in the state. Florida is a great winter vacation destination! Here are a few of my bucket list places to visit: Billie Swamp Safari – Billie Swamp Safari is located on the Indian Reservation of Big Cypress Seminole. The safari is set on 2,200 acres of Florida Everglades. The highlight of the safari is the Swamp Buggy Eco Tour, an hour adventure through the swamp in a swamp buggy, where you get the chance to experience close-up views of wildlife such as alligators, deer, and bison. Butterfly World – Butterfly World is located in Coconut Creek, Florida and was established in 1988. It is the world’s largest butterfly park, which houses approximately 5,000 live butterflies. There are several exhibits at Butterfly World including The Insectarium which houses insects such as moths, beetles, butterflies, and scorpions, and the Tropical Rain Forest Aviary which houses butterflies, tropical plants, free-flying birds, and a waterfall. Daytona Lagoon Waterpark and Family Fun Center – The Daytona Lagoon Waterpark and Family Fun Center is a waterpark and family entertainment center located in Daytona Beach. The park opened in 2005 and features 12 rides and 2 mini-golf courses. Water rides in Adventure Mountain, Castaway Bay and Blackbeard’s Revenge and dry rides include the Rock Wall and Grand Prix Go-Kart Raceway. The Kennedy Space Center – The John F. Kennedy Space Center is located on Florida’s east coast. It is the home to NASA’s space launches since 1968 including Apollo 11 and the Space Shuttle Endeavour.

My boys’ grandparents moved to Florida last fall and I’d love to visit with them of course. There are so many fun attractions near where they live.
I think Florida would be a great place to visit in the wintertime. I would love to get away from the snow.
We just got back from visiting the Kennedy Space Center. It was so interesting and great to get out of the cold here for a few days.
