Outdoor Excitement in Kissimmee
In addition to the theme parks, Kissimmee offers beautiful outdoor areas to explore Florida's natural side. Experience the thrill of an airboat ride through the Central Florida Everglades. Breeze across the water at exhilarating speeds and spot local wildlife like alligators, eagles, and snakes.

At this 110-acre theme park, you can view the massive reptiles from safe boardwalks and also enjoy exciting shows like the Gator Jumparoo.

This scenic lake is considered one of the top birding locations in Florida, with over 250 species spotted. Pack your binoculars and cameras to catch a glimpse of great blue herons, limpkins, and perhaps even a bald eagle. Lake Toho is also a popular fishing destination, so anglers will feel right at home here.
