Mama, we all know summer vacation memories can last a lifetime, and Florida has all the ingredients for the perfect family trip. Sunshine, beaches, theme parks, outdoor and indoor adventures = everything your family is looking for in your next vacation.

1. Florida Is for Families

The Sunshine State was practically designed with family vacations in mind. Theme parks, beaches, waterparks, zoos, and museums — there’s family-focused fun both indoors and out.

2. The Sunshine State Has Something for Everyone

Whatever adventurous activities you and your kiddos are into, Florida has them. Get aquatic at the Mermaid Academy at the Hyatt Grand Cypress in Orlando. Have your herd meet a herd of elephants at ZooTampa. Swim with manatees or dolphins, or explore any of Florida’s fantastic state parks.

3. Exciting to Explore — From Coast to Coast

Every part of the state has something unique to offer your family. Enjoy some of the most beautiful beaches in the world in Northwest Florida. Check out big cities like Jacksonville and Daytona Beach in the northeast. Make magical memories with your kids in Central Florida’s Disney World. Relax in the warmth of South Florida’s balmy temperatures and tropical flora and fauna.

4. Adventures for the Body and the Mind

There are plenty of opportunities to run, swim, and play in the Sunshine State of course, but there are also ways to flex different muscles. Engage your imagination on pirate cruises around Fort Myers, build dreams at Legoland, act like a space cadet at the Kennedy Space Center, or explore the children’s section at Daytona’s Museum of Arts and Sciences.
