This is the last in our series of travel videos – for now, at least. We have uploaded quite a few of these in the past several months. Each one is full of the places that you – the community – think we should visit if we should ever travel to your hometowns. This last installment is a list of places you don’t want to miss if you ever happen to find yourself in Florida!
Daytona Beach – This is likely one of the most famous beaches in the US. It’s a beautiful stretch of sand, with so many different things to do you won’t know where to start. Daytona International Speedway – Daytona is the home of one of the most-loved race tracks in the country. It’s a super speedway, which means it’s a much larger and faster track than most. It’s also where racing legend Dale Earnhardt died during the last lap of the Daytona 500 in February of 2001. Bucca di Beppo – This is one of the best Italian restaurants on the face of the planet. There are locations spread around the country, but you’ll find one right in Daytona Beach, as well. Ponce de Leon Lighthouse – Completed in 1887, the Ponce de Leon Inlet Light Station was built when the area was known as Mosquito Inlet. After decades of restoration by the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse Preservation Association, it stands today as one of the best preserved, most complete Light Stations in the nation. Congo River Mini Golf – Travel to a world of excitement… from high atop giant waterfalls and rocky summits to the depths of mysterious caves, Congo River Golf delivers the best in family fun! Jacksonville Zoo – Escape to the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens for the only walking safari in Northeast Florida. Discover the earth’s wildlife through interactive and educational experiences. A true family adventure, the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens is growing and changing daily and is dedicated to the consistently improving. Jacksonville Museum of Science and History – This is a very interesting museum consisting of loads of historical content, including Dino- Raur. Dino-Raur is a dinosaur exhibit with “real” moving, and noise making dinosaurs. Water Worlds is another exhibit, where you get a glimpse into three different coral reef tanks and two freshwater tanks. Veterans Memorial Park – Visit the beautiful wall, dedicated to the Veterans of the United States Armed Forces. It’s a somber place, and one that will make you want to just sit and reflect quietly. A moment of silence is always called for here. Atlantic Beach – Atlantic Beach is another awesome place to visit, filled with activities for young and old. Cheer your Favorite Team – Florida is home to many professional sports teams, including the Miami Dolphins, Florida Marlins, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (just to name three!).
