Camping In Florida

Explore Florida’s Landmarks

Coral Castle
A garden like no other, this eye-catching collection of sculptures made from hand-carved coral was created over 28 years by one man, Ed Leedskalnin. Mystery revolves around this sight as it’s said that no one ever saw Ed carving the coral. So how did he do it? Those secrets may never be revealed, but you might have some guesses of your own after exploring this unique destination in Miami.

Kennedy Space Center
You may not ever get the chance to visit outer space yourself, but you can a sense of what space travel is like with a visit to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral. Here, visitors of all ages can play astronaut, conduct a virtual spacewalk, create sonic booms, glide down the re-entry slide, land an orbiter, and more. There is even a shuttle launch experience simulation ride for those looking for a thrill.
