Manatees, the Gentle Giants
Manatee Encounter
One of the only places it is legal to interact with manatees is Crystal River. Even here, you must remain on the surface, not chase the manatee and only touch with one hand. Sometimes the manatee comes to you and wants to be scratched.

FUN IN FLORIDA YEAR ROUND
- Mount Dora Events
- Mount Dora, FL settled on a lovely lake is the hub for winter activity. Check out the website for all the activities. You will love to shop in this quaint town.
- Downtown Disney
- If you can't afford to visit Disney World, then head to Downtown Disney. This is such a fun experience for everyone. There is daily entertainment and lots of restaurants. If you have children with you, and you don't want to spend a fortune for lunch, there is a McDonalds there which is excellent. Close by is the Lego shop with fascinating Lego characters built entirely of Lego blocks. There is a great play area where kids can race cars, climb through the play area, and of course, build with Legos.
Once Upon a Toy Store is a fabulous toy store with exciting displays, and of course, every kind of toy you can imagine. Yes, they even have the old stand-bys like Lincoln Logs and Potato Head along with all the Disney character toys. Outstanding mono-rail set up for kids to run too.
Check out the automated alligator and live birds at the Rain Forest Cafe. This is such a fun place to spend your day and/or your nights. - Celebration, FL
- Yes, Celebration, FL began its life as a planned community by Walt Disney. It is located near the Disney attractions. The neighborhoods are perfectly groomed and the feeling is as if you stepped back into an Andy Hardy movie. The Town Center not only is a beautiful setting on the lake, but it has a lot of great stores.
LAKE PLACID, FL
Town of Murals and Caladiums
Lake Placid, FL, located at the southern end of Highlands County on US Rte. 27, is delightful discovery. Located smack in the middle of citrus, cattle, and caladium farms, the small town has lots to offer visitors to this unique area. The 29 sparkling fresh water lakes are active centers for fishing, skiiing and boating, plus great sites for picnicking and hiking.The main draw to the area is the extensive collection of murals in the downtown area. Go to the Chamber of Commerce Welcome Center on Oak St. to ask the friendly volunteers to help you. There is a 10 minute video on the murals and the original art collection can be viewed there. It's an easy walk around the town to see most of the murals. Get the $3.00 book with all the murals illustrated and information on the locations, artists, and the paintings.
Drive outside the city to see the fields of caladium plants where the landscape is alive with bands of colorful leaves stretching across the countryside. The Caladium Festival is held every August when the plants are at their peak of glory. The owner at Fancy Leaf Caladiums at Happyness Farms was friendly and helpful with all of our questions about these gorgeous plants who have no pests and require no insecticide treatment or fertilization.
Two interesting residents of this town--Dr. Melvil Dewey who invented the Dewey Decimal System for libraries loved the place so much that he spearheaded a movement to re-name the town to Lake Placid after Lake Placid, NY.
Presently Keith Stokes, aka Toby the Clown, established the Clown School in Lake Placid so that now the city claims to have more clowns per capita than any other town in Florida. Maybe that's why the residents are cheerful and friendly.
Escape to Lake Placid for a relaxing and rewarding day away.
