Enjoy classic American fun at nearby Old Town Kissimmee, which offers unique shopping and dining options, attractions, and perhaps best known for its year-round events.

Adjacent to Old Town, Fun Spot America is an old-school theme park with a carnival-like atmosphere offering roller coasters, kiddie rides, go-karts and arcade games for a smaller price tag than most Orlando theme parks.

Although Orlando and its many amusements are close by, you don’t have to go far from home to have a great time! From breakfast foods to BBQ, pizzerias, Asian, and even Caribbean cusine, dining options are available for most palates. And, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention nearby breweries such as Grove Roots Brewing Company in Winter Haven and Swan Brewing in Lakeland, as well as the True Blue Winery right up the road in Davenport.

Lake Eva Community Park is a great destination with a myriad of activities and events. The park is home to an aquatic center, event center, bandstand, tennis courts, basketball courts, and even a walking trail that runs along the shore of Lake Eva - you can even fish the waters or relax on the lakeside beach! The park is host to the IRONMAN Florida 70.3 each April, puts on one of the best fireworks shows in Central Florida every 4^th of July, and offers great events for foodies such as the annual Chili on the Ridge, annual Ribs on the Ridge, and Food Truck Friday’s during summer months.

Golf enthusiasts will enjoy nearby Southern Dunes Golf and Country Club, a top-ranked Florida golf course with dramatic hillside topography unique to our state. The club even features a great restaurant offering up breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as a full bar.

And, Posner Park Shopping Center is just seven miles up the road, offering excellent shopping including Target, Dick’s Sporting Good, Books-A-Million, and PetSmart, a variety of dining, and entertainment at the upscale Cinepolis IMAX movie theater.
