things to do

If thoughts of Florida bring up memories of Disney World and Daytona Beach, you will need to give it another visit. Florida has more to offer than just central Florida attractions. South Florida has a number of family-packed vacation spots that will leave you and the kids wanting to head back for more. Fun-filled and adventure soaked, these are the stuff vacations are made of. Don't settle for boring holidays with limited excursions.

We have collected a selection of some of the most adventurous outings to take with your family and have rated them either MILD or WILD.  Families with younger children or the more cautious explorers would enjoy the milder activities while families with older or more adrenaline charged members can take a chance with something more wild.

Blessed with a lush tropical landscape, world class beaches, and abundant sunshine, Miami can sometimes be a prisoner of its own image.

Rest assured, you and your family will never run out of options when it comes to destinations that combine leisure with a rich cultural exposure.
