Embrace the Wild: A Day in the Everglades

Kissimmee, Florida, is a treasure trove of outdoor adventures, and what better way to kick off your spring preview than with a thrilling airboat tour through the Central Florida Everglades? On February 23rd, from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM, you can embark on a Wild Florida Adventure that promises an unforgettable encounter with nature. Glide through 100,000 acres of protected swamps, marshes, and rivers, where the only signs of life are the vibrant wildlife and lush vegetation.

The airboat ride offers a unique perspective on Florida’s natural beauty, with opportunities to spot alligators, birds, and even the elusive Florida snail kite. As one recent visitor raved,

“The richness of nature! What a great experience! Travelled from Orlando with Gray Line, with Mauricio our driver. Then picked up the 1 hour airboat ride with Captain Wayne. It was so much fun, and Captain Wayne was great at spotting alligators and a huge variety of birds (the Florida snail kite was my favourite!) and positioning the airboat so photos could be taken. Ear defenders were provided, which was great, especially if we were heading across Boggy Creek at speed! That’s a lot of fun.”

With transportation from select Orlando locations included, this adventure is as convenient as it is exhilarating. Don’t forget to dress warmly, as the airboat can get chilly at full speed!

Family Fun at Fun Spot America

After a morning in the wild, it’s time to switch gears and head to Fun Spot America for an afternoon of family-friendly excitement. Open from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM on both February 22nd and 23rd, this theme park is a haven for thrill-seekers and little adventurers alike.

Race along Orlando’s only wooden roller coaster, ‘White Lightning,’ or test your courage on the 250 ft SkyCoaster. For those with younger children, the Kid’s Spot offers milder fun with rides designed just for them. As one enthusiastic visitor shared,

“Fun spot was actually fun. Marie Collins provided excellent service at windows 4. Rides and arcade were fun and pizza was delicious. Family and I had lots of fun.”

With unlimited rides included in your pass, you can enjoy endless fun under the warm Florida sun. And don’t forget to check out the arcade, where more than 100 new and classic video games await.

Kissimmee’s weather during this weekend is ideal for outdoor exploration, with temperatures ranging from a comfortable 57°F to 71.5°F. The partly cloudy skies and minimal chance of rain make it perfect for both the Everglades adventure and a day at the theme park.

Whether you’re gliding through the serene waters of the Everglades or feeling the rush of a roller coaster, Kissimmee offers a spring preview that’s both thrilling and family-friendly.
