5 Reasons You Need to Book a Family Holiday to Florida
When I think of Florida I think of sunshine, sand and giggles. I imagine us jetting off and having the most epic adventure together as a family. You can book your very own holiday with Ocean Florida and make all your Florida dreams come true! But, for now, read on to find out WHY you should book…
1. Beaches
The beaches in Florida look absolutely amazing. We can lose a day on the beach, splashing in the sea and discovering new creatures in cavernous rock pools. Simple sand play can last hours, and of course, there’s always the must-have ice cream whilst chilling in the sun together. Florida has so many fantastic beach options, from Miami Beach to Cocoa Beach, your family will be spoilt for choice.
2. Walt Disney World
How can you visit Florida and not go to Disney World?! That would be crazy. I don’t know any family that wouldn’t love to visit Disney World, a place of magic and pure wonder for the whole family. With its own theme park, water parks, shops, restaurants, entertainment and character meets, it’s totally the place to be!
3. Universal Studios
From Harry Potter to their Volcano Bay Water Theme Park, there’s so much to see and do at Orlando Universal Studios. You can even buy a Universal Express Pass, allowing you to skip the queues at most of their rides. George used to be quite obsessed with Harry Potter, so I imagine this would go down quite well if we were to visit!
4. NASA Kennedy Space Centre
If you’re keen to learn something and dig into history as a family (who isn’t?!), then NASA’s Kennedy Space Centre is the place to go! With rockets and space shuttles, there’s lots to see and do, and you can even take part in a Shuttle Launch Experience! This really sounds like something we’d love to do as a family, so many learning experiences and history all in one place…
5. Everglades National Park
This place looks simply beautiful. It’s the second largest park in the country, with marshy and swampy areas covering 1.5 million acres. You can explore the park with guides, bird watch, cycle, hike and more. It looks like the most idyllic way to spend a day together as a family…
Well, there you have it. My top 5 reasons to visit Florida with your family. As you can see, there’s so much to do you’ll be spoilt for choice! There’s literally something for everyone, from adventure to relaxation, history to thrill seeking, you won’t want your holiday to end!
