There are
lots of great reasons to stay a few nights in
Kissimmee,
FL
one of them being that it’s
Florida!
The city of
Kissimmee
has been around for a little over 100 years but the land that is
present day
Kissimmee
was a major cattle ranching and citrus groves area. The history
of the area is a great accent to the major theme park
attractions. Not only is
Kissimmee
well known as a tourist destination, but a natural wonder as
well!
Kissimmee
lies at the beginning of the
Kissimmee River.
This is a slow moving river that drains in to the
Florida
everglades. In the early 70’s the C-38 Canal was dredged to
increase the flow of the
Kissimmee River
to
Lake Okeechobee.
This in effect killed about 90% of the wild water fowl and other
animals that called this mystical place home. In 1992 the state
decided to restore the river to its original form and eliminate
the canal. The process has been underway for over a decade and
the river is really coming back around. The original animals
that once lived in the area have now increased by 45%! That is
just one of the many natural wonders in
Florida. |
Just north of
Kissimmee
is the
Weikiva
State
Park.
Here you can camp, hike, or canoe down this long and winding
river that is fed from a freshwater spring. If you stay in a
Kissimmee
hotel you have access to all of these hidden little treasures
plus all of the normal tourist activities. Staying in
Kissimmee
you will be only 40 minutes away from
Melbourne Beach,
FL
on the Atlantic side and only one and a half hours from
Clearwater Beach,
FL
in the
Tampa
area.
Kissimmee
is also conveniently located only 10 miles from the
Orlando
International
Airport
and only 40 miles from Port Canaveral in
Cocoa
Beach!
This means when you stay in
Kissimmee
you have the ability to go anywhere in the world (if you have
the money)! Really there is no need to go anywhere else but
Kissimmee.
With so much to do, you will never be bored. The only thing you
will be wondering is what to do next!
There are several hotels that are just waiting to give you
some of the best hospitality that they can offer. Since
you’re in the southern
United States
you can get some freshly picked citrus that was on the tree
just days ago. I could go on for days and days about the
wondrous things that
Kissimmee
has to offer, but why don’t you just see it for yourself?
That’s the only way you are going to believe how much there
really is to do here! So, upon planning your next vacation,
keep in mind that there is a place in the world where
excitement is endless and the memories are priceless!
