Florida Food & drinks

If you ever find yourself in southern Florida, Everglades National Park belongs on your itinerary for a couple of reasons. One, its mosaic of mangrove forests, cypress domes, and sawgrass prairies makes it a unique landscape worth exploring. Two, the park is rich in wildlife, from alligators to wading birds. And three, the boardwalks and boat tours make it easy to experience the park’s beauty in full, no matter if you’re here for a day or as part of a longer Florida road trip.

Summer in Florida checks all the boxes for a vacation destination. In Orlando, world-famous theme parks bring extra thrills and family fun with extended seasonal hours. Further south, the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden bursts into bloom, with evening concerts turning the gardens into a summer stage.

When you want to escape the colder months, one of the best ways is to spend winter in Florida. Whether you celebrate the holidays by touring Christmas lights in St. Augustine and ringing in the New Year on Miami Beach or relax on the beaches of Fort Lauderdale, Florida is a great place for your winter vacation.

Glide through fresh springs where you can count the scales on the fish swimming right below, or sail through mangrove tunnels where skylines peek through the jungle. Kayaking in Florida puts you at water level with some of the clearest freshwater springs on earth, giving you a new perspective of the Sunshine State.
