In Florida, there is an almost infinite number of things to do, suitable for all ages. Among the most well-known attractions are the large Disney parks in Orlando. These can be reached from the house by car in about two and a half hours. An absolute insider tip is Busch Gardens in Tampa. In addition to great roller coasters, it offers a Serengeti Park, where rhinos, zebras, giraffes, etc. can be observed either from a gondola or a steam train in the wild. Not only is there less of a crowd than in the Disney parks in Orlando, it can also be reached in less than an hour and a half. Legoland Florida with its huge water park is about two hours away from the house.
Furthermore, the crossing of the Skyway Bridge (on Interstate 275), with a total length of 6,663 meters and a height of almost 60 meters above the sea, is worthwhile. Anyone who has ever wanted to watch a baseball or football game live has the opportunity to fulfill this dream in Tampa. The Tampa Bay Rays are in baseball and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are among the top teams in the National Football League.
For nature lovers there are of course a variety of options - the "Edison & Ford Winter Estates" park for example. Thomas Edison built this park, where a laboratory in which he researched, among other things, the light bulb can be visited. The Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve is also worth a visit. This park has a size of over 14 km² and offers a variety of animals that can be observed in natural surroundings.
