A relatively new theme park, LEGOLAND opened in 2011 and is the largest LEGOLAND theme park in the world. There are more than 50 rides and attractions in the park, making it the perfect destination for anyone who has ever had a love of LEGO.
The park has been built around botanical gardens Cypress Gardens, so there are things to experience which aren’t strictly LEGO, while there are some pretty impressive feats of engineering using LEGO, such as the LEGO Statue of Liberty!
SeaWorld
SeaWorld is much more than just a theme park as it is home to a huge marine-life based zoo, and it is one of the most visited theme parks in America. The rides are nothing short of amazing thanks to the use of real sea life as part of the journey, whilst using some of the most advanced technology to make the rides nothing short of unforgettable.
Turtle Trek is one of the newest rides and exhibitions which is sure to astound anyone who steps on board. Sea turtles, West Indian manatees and American alligators all feature within the ride, though the highlight is a 360° dome showing a 3D film of the journey of the average sea turtle!
Walt Disney World
Of course, one of the main highlights of vacationing in Florida is Disney World, which is the most visited complex in the world. It is home to 24 themed resorts, four theme parks, two water parks and many more entertainment locations, meaning it’s something which is bound to fill up your entire holiday!
Kids and adults of all ages are sure to love the many different parks, especially Magic Kingdom, the very first park to have been opened here. Of course, if you’re looking to take a break from the Disney side of things, the resort also houses five golf courses, as well as catch-and-release fishing excursions, watercraft rentals, bike rentals, and firework cruises!
