Split Oak Forest Mitigation Park, which is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail, is a 1,800 acre area that was purchased to help protect the Gopher Tortoise. The park also is used to show visitors the positive effects of prescribed burns. Split Oak Park has four main hiking trails: the 5.3 mile long North/South [...]
As I mentioned in my Geocaching post, my family and I found a cache (Kissimmee Army Airfield – Pre WWII) near the Kissimmee Gateway Airport, and from it I learned that this particular airport had been a Pre-WWII military base. As we were leaving the cache that day I noticed a sign along the side [...]
The Orlando Science Center offers four floors of fun hands-on educational exhibits, movies, laser shows and Florida’s largest publicly accessible refractory telescope. This is my absolute favorite place to take my daughter on days that are either rainy, too hot or (don’t laugh) too cold for us native Floridians! The best part is that my [...]
Let’s face it, Florida is HOT. We all know it and we all deal with it, mostly by spending our days in the pool! While I do have a pool in my own backyard, sometimes it is just more fun to go to a place with slides and a splash area.
Step back in time and explore with your family what life was like in the late 1800′s at Peghorn Nature Park and Trail! This beautiful 58 acre park has been preserved to show visitors what wild Florida was like back then. The park features native plants and animals, as well as a Cracker Village consisting [...]
The Brevard Zoo is located in Melbourne, FL and is a one hour drive East from Kissimmee. It is a place that is near and dear to my heart, because the Rotaract Club that I belonged to in Junior High School was one of the many community groups that helped build it!
What child doesn’t like pizza or hot dogs, ice cream and a playground? Pure Magic is the ultimate child-friendly restaurant in Kissimmee! Where else can kids just be kids, run around, climb, write on the tables and floors and be rewarded with ice cream for it! Pure Magic, however, isn’t just ANY ice cream, it [...]
Ok, so after reading my intro, I’m sure many of you are thinking, “What in the world is Geocaching?” Geocaching is a scavenger hunt using a GPS and coordinates to find hidden containers placed all over the world! The containers can be very tiny, like the size of a bolt, all the way up to [...]
Hello everyone, my name is Brenda Sullivan and I am a native Floridian who at different times has called the East Coast, Panhandle and Central Florida home! I am originally from Merritt Island, where I grew up loving the beach life and living so close to Kennedy Space Center that the windows and anything hanging [...]
When I set out on my week in Kissimmee to find some things for a group of guys on vacation, I worried a little that it might be too difficult. But I was wrong. I found plenty. Because of time, money and scheduling, I couldn’t do it all. Here’s some things you could add to [...]
Warning: The televisions at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Kissimmee may cause screen envy. Inside and out, the walls are plastered with at least 50 HDTVs of various sizes, most prominently a pair of 220-inch movie-type projection screens. You heard right. That translates to more than 18 feet from corner to corner. This Buffalo Wild [...]
When your vacationing group of guys is ready for a night on the town, head on over to hit the clubs in downtown Orlando. (Not those clubs; That’s another website!) I’m talking about the nightclubs, bars and pubs that contribute to a thriving weekend nightlife in O-town. And if you’re unfamiliar with the area, you [...]
