Florida’s other theme parks
Outside of Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa is the next largest theme park attraction, but next year Legoland will open in Winter Haven, Florida, which is located between Orlando and Tampa. This will be the only Legoland theme park east of the Mississippi River, which is bound to attract millions of tourists. Legoland will replace Cypress Gardens, a pre-Disney attraction that featured Southern belles and a beautifully manicured botanical gardens.
Florida's other theme parks capitalize on the state's natural wonders. Silver Springs, located just outside of Ocala, has been attracting tourists with glass bottomed boat rides since the late 19th century. Closer to the Gulf Coast, Weeki Wachee Springs State Park started out as a post-World War II roadside attraction before officially becoming a state park on 2009. Weeki Wachee is best known for its underwater mermaid shows, and has the only water park fed by an underground spring.
Whether you crave natural wonders or the latest in roller coaster technology, there is something for everyone when they visit Florida.
