Kissimmee quick – Orlando’s lip-smacking holiday destination
Imagine a place where the sun shines for 232 days of the year, you’re just a few miles from the world’s greatest theme parks, and you can come face-to-face with some of the most spectacular natural beauty in North America by just stepping outside your hotel. Welcome to Kissimmee, (pronounced ‘ki-simi’) where you can bump into Mickey Mouse around the corner, or hop on an airboat to buzz around Shingle Creek Regional Park and say hi to the ‘gators’. It’s a great mix of charming ‘Mom and Pop’ America, quality entertainment, and raw nature at her very best. You’ll also get that typically warm Floridan welcome everywhere you go, and giant breakfasts that’ll make your eyes pop!
Sure, a lot of people book Kissimmee holidays as a great base for ‘doing the theme parks’, but there’s so much more to this part of Florida than just the Magic Kingdom Park and Epcot. You’ve got retro-style shopping, 1950s American Diners, hiking trails, traditional fairgrounds, and wonderfully-named beauty spots like Boggy Creek (which is so much better than it sounds — trust us). Whether you’re looking for an all-inclusive Florida holiday, a chance to experience the ‘real’ America, or are taking the kids to Walt Disney World Resort for that once-in-a-lifetime experience, Kissimmee is definitely right at the top of our Florida favourites list.
This is the ‘cool’ part of the year, although you’ll still be looking at average temperatures of around 15-20°C. That starts to climb as you enter into the spring months, making April in particular a popular time for visitors.
Florida’s summer months are hot, hot, hot! Expect the thermometer to climb up to the mid 30s °C, although the cooling effect of the Atlantic Ocean currents takes the edge off the heat, making it perfect for lazing about by the pool or spending the day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Every weekend you’ll see some concourse-quality classic cars parading through the old town. This is a real treat for petrol heads.
Don’t worry, there won’t be any alien invasions this time around, but there will be plenty of fireworks! This is the big one for Americans, and they love to celebrate in style. Head to Lakefront Park for a more ‘vintage’ experience.
Not simply a museum, but a workshop where WWII planes are brought back to life. Go on a guided tour and see some of the world’s most iconic planes being restored.
The region surrounding Kissimmee is one of the South’s most important eco-sites. Get to grips with the ‘locals’ at the Forever Florida Eco park. You can trek through on horseback, or really get your adrenaline pumping with a zipline safari through the treetops.
You knew we’d get back to Boggy Creek eventually, didn’t you? This amazing spot is slap-bang in the middle of the Florida Everglades, and you’ll get the chance to meet turtles, birds, and yes, ‘gators too. (Not too ‘up close and personal’, obviously…)
It’s rootin’ tootin’ fun at this authentic rodeo experience. This is true Americana at its most exuberant best.
