Best Attractions in Florida (that aren't theme parks!)

Best attractions in Florida extend far beyond the overcrowded famous theme parks everyone already knows. This Sunshine State offers a treasure trove of unique experiences, waiting to be discovered by adventurous travelers like you.

What’s that place in the photo above, you ask? It’s the Florida Skunk Ape! And while it may not be considered among the “best” attractions in Florida… it IS a UNIQUELY Florida thing to GO-SEE-DO!

Florida has something from everyone: art and museums, history and culture, outdoor adventure and wildlife, beaches and parks, plus some fantastic ghost tours too!

Ditch the crowds and get out and experience real Florida! We’ve got some suggestions…
