Florida Vacation Hot spots

This will also be a very exciting experience for the kids. There is no wondering why this is a favorite location for tourists from all over the USA and the world.

Kennedy Space Center: Orlando is as much about science and technology as it is about fun. Here, you will be able to personally tour NASA’s space launch area, get some spaceflight simulator drills, enjoy some “space food” and perhaps even witness an actual launch of a space mission. It is a place you would not want to miss both for the fun and the education.

Silver Springs: Ok, may be the springs are not actually silver in color, but it is close. The silver springs is a natural spring stretching for about 350 acres of water. You can take a ride in one of the glass bottom boat, enjoy the natural underwater life below and wonder at the sheer spectacle of nature.

Orlando Science Center: This is another place you don’t want to miss whether you are here alone or with the kids. In addition to the fun you will be having, you also get a rare chance to engage in some scientific activities that you would have normally being unable or disallowed to try elsewhere.  There is also the refractor telescope, the largest of its kind in the whole of Florida, where you can enjoy a natural and rare view of the stars at night-something most city-dwellers would only dream of.

It is also aligned with more than 100 exhibits that will give you not just a good time, but also carve long-lasting memories for you. Enjoy the fun and interaction that this icon affords you.

Summer is often the easiest time to take a vacation, but it’s not always the most affordable time. If you want to extend your vacation spend, consider some of the benefits of off-season travel.

• Lower cost. With the majority of people vacationing during summer, the demand and the prices are higher during those peak months. If you wait a bit longer, demand is down, and often, so are prices.
• Less crowded. Fewer fellow tourists mean shorter lines and the ability to explore attractions at your own pace.
• Better weather. Favorite summer hot spots are cooler and winter destinations aren’t yet freezing cold, so you enjoy the visit without extreme temperatures.

So where can you go to enjoy an off-season trip and get more for your money? Here are just a few ideas from the travel experts at Country Inns & Suites. [Read more…] about Fall Travel within the USA
