They don't call Florida the Sunshine State for nothing! Florida has a wonderful climate that makes it an ideal all-year-round holiday destination.
Everyone knows Florida for the theme parks and they certainly are fantastic fun for kids of ALL ages. However, there is another side to Florida. There are beautiful nature parks that you really should visit and some fantastic beaches within easy reach.
Highlights include the Blue Springs and Wekiva Springs State Parks, sunset dolphin cruises at Clearwater Beach on the beautiful Gulf Coast, and the Kennedy Space Centre at Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic Coast.
The theme parks - need we say more?!
Disney - (nearly) the original and by far the biggest. Includes a permanent - and unmissable - Cirque du Soleil show.
Cypress Gardens - opened in 1936, it was Florida's first attraction park and still retains a old-fashioned charm.
Universal Studios - fantastic film-based fun and great rides at Universal and Islands of Adventure.
Sea World - a marine life park, fun shows and rollercoasters - don't miss the jaw-dropping Shamu Show.
Busch Gardens - 40 miles east of Orlando in Tampa, Busch Gardens combines a beautifully presented zoo with some of the biggest and best rides anywhere - dare you face the awesome SheiKra?
Florida is of course a golfers' paradise and we are fortunate to have some of the finest courses right on our doorstep - the Greg Norman designed Champions Gate just 5 miles down the road and the Reunion Golf Resort with its three courses designed by Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus only 8 miles away.
