You can paddle the river here at a calm leisurely pace. Canoes are available for rent on the spot.

The river is narrow, shallow and slow moving. Wekiwa Springs State Park has trails for hiking, bicycling, and horseback riding. Camping is also available.

This is a place that is sure to stir the imagination of kids as well as adults.

Everyone will have fun watching the 14 trains and 3 trolleys that are constantly running across the huge track layout.

There is over 2,000 feet of track that winds around and through snow capped mountains, a 300 square-foot lake, farms and city areas, tunnels, water falls, lots of bridges and a coal mining tow.

The museum has a fun scavenger hunt that makes for a lot of fun as you search the museum for answers to the 20 hunt challenges.

A great way to see the gardens is an electric boat tour through the tropical canals. Splash Island Water Park is a new addition which is a water park for the kids. Cypress Gardens has made a number of changes over the years and there very well be more changes coming. So be sure to check out what's new if you decide to visit.

Boardwalks and mulched walkways lead around to view the primates, cougars and leopards, venomous snakes, reptiles and other animals. A favorite spot with kids is the Animal Adventure Children's Zoo area. Here they can have fun feeding the llamas, goats and cows. The kids can also cool off and play in the water at the Wharton-Smith Tropical Splash Ground.

The center is located in Maitland which is a few miles north of downtown Orlando. Hundreds of birds come through here every year and receive the help they need to recover whatever medical disaster has befallen them. Watch the birds practice their flying skills. Take a self-guided tour of the facility and various visitor exhibits. This is a great way to see these wonderful birds in a way that in not possible in nature. It’s a fun and educational vacation idea.
