Visit Central Florida's Lakes Country, where the sun is always shining and the possibilities for vacation fun are endless. Home to 554 lakes, this is the perfect base for all your Sunshine State adventures. You'll find that a day at the beach or at one of the world's most famous theme parks is within easy reach. Some like to refer to central Florida as "land of the Mouse," often referring to Florida's largest attraction, Walt Disney World. There are plenty of attractions throughout central Florida, but there are also plenty of places for nature travelers to explore. Part of Ocala National Forest lies here, and Canaveral National Seashore and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge are 2 other national natural treasures. And lakes seem to be everywhere. Central Florida is also the site of both the migratory and non-migratory flocks of endangered whooping cranes. And dolphins are seen from the beach almost every day around Cape Canaveral and Tampa Bay/Clearwater areas. From the depths of the ocean to space exploration, from nature to modern technology, Central Florida is a non-stop entertainment destination.
