From the Caribbean heat of Miami Beach to the exuberant family fun of Orlando, the state of Florida is one of the nation’s most diverse vacation destinations. Even more importantly, it’s also one of the most diverse ecological destinations, with regions comparable even to South American rainforests.

There’s nothing sadder than a golfer with frozen balls. Grab your clubs and head some place warm for the winter, some place where the bright green beauty of summer never goes out of style, some place like Cocoa Beach, Florida on the Space Coast.
The golf courses of Cocoa Beach and surrounding areas welcome golfers novice-to-pro [...]
Your town may not be straddled with snow yet, but you know it’s coming. What you may not know is that while you waste a gallon of gas every morning “warming up” the car, there’s a place in this country where the people still look forward to weekend trips to the water park. In fact, [...]
Now here’s a cool one. Forget your cushy bus tours, sleepy Segway strolls and caviar cruises, we’ve got a tour that’ll really give you something to talk about. Something to get you back to nature … so close, in fact, it could bite you (but it won’t).
Ride-the-Wind Airboat Adventures is one of the best tours [...]

With names like Leave it to Cleaver, Lights Camera Hacktion, and Horrorwood Die-In, it’s pretty obvious where Halloween Horror Nights at Universal [...]
This is no auto show; this is the 2009 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. With 49 blockbuster events under its belt and the big five-oh coming up in just a couple months, what better time to start making plans to attend the largest public boat show in the world?
I can’t decide what caused us more trouble, putting the Columbus Zoo ahead of San Diego in our Top 10 Zoos in America feature, or putting the Lion Country Safari all the way up at #3.
