Florida is known as the sunshine state, so that should give you some indication as to why a lot of people go there – it’s not just sunny; it’s hot if you go at the right time of year and if you’re looking for somewhere warm to relax and forget about the real world for a while, Florida could certainly be the answer.
But there’s actually more to the state than ‘just’ good weather, so let’s take a look at what other reasons you might have for taking a trip there.
Theme Parks
We can’t mention Florida without talking about the theme parks that call it home. Firstly, there’s Disney and its parks, which include the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Typhoon Lagoon, and Animal Kingdom. Then there’s Universal and its three resorts (Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, and Volcano Bay). And those are just the ones in Orlando – go further afield, and you’ve got plenty more to choose from, including Tampa’s Busch Gardens and Legoland in Winter Haven – and the list goes on.
If you love theme parks and you want to spend your trip having fun, then Florida is definitely a place you need to visit. The only thing is, there are so many options you’re probably going to need more than one trip to get it all done.
Great Food
Florida has a thriving culinary scene, and there are plenty of options, no matter what type of food you like best. Just take a look at the news, reviews, and information online, and you’ll soon get an idea of exactly why Florida is renowned for offering fantastic food that visitors and locals alike love.
Among the many different types of food that Floridian chefs love to cook with is plenty of seafood – Florida has some great beaches, so you can rest assured that the fish is as fresh as possible. Plus, because Florida has a lot of different cultures all living together, you’ll find there are many fusions of flavors, from South American to Caribbean to European, and more. It’s exciting to try all the different options available to you when you’re visiting the state.
Ideal For Sports Lovers
Something else that Florida has in abundance is sporting teams that include basketball, football, soccer, baseball, and ice hockey. There are also lots of different sports stadiums (including some really well-known ones like the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami or the Amalie Arena in Tampa). Added up, that means that any sports enthusiasts will always be able to find a game or match to watch when they’re in Florida.
Before you book your trip, take a look at who’s playing who, when the game is happening, and where in Florida it’s taking place. In that way, you can make sure you don’t miss out on anything you want to see, and you can really get into the spirit of whatever game it is you watch.
So Much Nature
When you think of Florida, you might think of all the things we’ve mentioned above, but you might not think of nature. That’s a shame because Florida has a lot of it to enjoy and explore!
The most famous natural wonder in Florida is the Everglades, a huge swampland that’s home to alligators, marsh birds, and much more. Take a trip on an airboat to really see all these things up close, and it’s something you’ll never forget.
