obviously covid may change or delay anything on this list but we can still dream
number 10 legoland florida like the other theme parks on this list lego land closed for roughly
two and a half months in 2020 due to the covid19 pandemic the park will continue to practice
social distancing going into 2021 if you have children between the ages of 2 and 12 legoland
is the definition of family friendly fun while primarily aimed at kids any parent who grew up
with lego will appreciate the park's inventive architecture and rides from the second you walk
through the entrance constructed of lego bricks you'll feel like a kid again the florida resort is
introducing a new attraction called brickbeard's water sport stunt show which incorporates fly
boards and water skis we can't think of a better way to commemorate the park's 10th anniversary
number 9. sea world orlando when most people think of sea world shamu the killer whale and other
aquatic creatures immediately come to mind no visit would be complete without getting soaked at
shamu stadium or the dolphin theater while you'll come for the animal presentations you'll stay for
the ocean themed thrill rides in spring 2021 seaworld orlando plans to debut the icebreaker
the park's first quadruple launch roller coaster with a 93-foot vertical drop this arctic theme
coaster will be the park's tallest to date it's also the steepest drop in florida of course
if you're in the mood for an old classic there's always the mako roller coaster throughout the year
we can also expect seasonable events like electric ocean seaworld spooktacular and seaworld christmas
celebration number eight saint augustine saint augustine is a treasure trove of rich history
attracting more than a few pirates back in the day while you won't find many scurvy sea dogs
plundering the city now there's plenty of jolly old fun to be had at the pirate and treasure
museum for a deeper dive into the city's history head over to the lighthouse and maritime museum
ascending to the top of the lighthouse you'll be treated to a stunning view of anastasia island
the crown jewel of saint augustine is located on matanzas bay's western shore there you'll find
castillo de san marcos america's oldest masonry fort and since florida is known for its crocs
and gators you'll want to get an up-close look at the alligator farm zoological park
number 7 panama city hurricane michael took an especially devastating toll on panama city in 2018
while the road to recovery has been arduous panama city and the rest of bay county are
showing progress you can show your support for the city by helping to boost tourism in 2021
panama city beach is the obvious go-to destination the beach lives up to its radiant reputation with
white sand that could easily be mistaken for sugar whether you're looking to sail snorkel or get some
rays this beach's backdrop is peerless speaking of which round out the day shopping at pier park with
124 stores numerous restaurants and an imax movie theater no lifestyle center in florida can compete
number six key west florida is one of the top destinations in the u.s for snorkeling and scuba
diving key west has added underwater scooters to that list allowing visitors to explore reefs in
style while there's much to experience under the sea there's just as much activity bustling above
the surface smathers beach is one of several spots where you can either get a florida tan
or seek shade under a palm tree beyond the ocean take a tour of the historic duval street where
you'll find landmarks such as mallory square keep in mind that the port of key west is a favorite
among cruises what's even better than a trip to the key west a cruise to the key west naturally
number five naples florida features more golf courses than any state in the u.s and naples has
been described as the gulf capital of the world with almost 90 18 whole courses to choose from
you can see why it only makes sense that a city by the beach would provide the perfect backdrop
for hitting a few golf balls even when they land in the water it's hard to complain when you're
surrounded by such tranquil scenery outside of the golf and country clubs naples is one of the
few cities that has a truly attractive swamp don't believe us take a tour of the corkscrew
swamp sanctuary and see for yourself you know you're in paradise when even the swamps have class
number 4. universal orlando this theme park's 30th anniversary had the misfortune of falling
in june 2020. chances are you weren't able to celebrate this landmark but that doesn't mean
you can't make it up later in 2021 we'd recommend spending the day splashing around at volcano bay
and taking a stroll down the universal citywalk at night between the wizarding
world of harry potter and the jurassic park river adventure though the islands of adventure
remains the premier destination the adventure is going to be taken up a notch in summer 2021
with the arrival of the veloci coaster given the epic scale of the jurassic world movies
it makes sense that the velosi coaster would aim to become the tallest coaster in florida as well
as the fastest number three miami beach chances are that if you're in florida you're there for
the legendary coastline south beach provides the ultimate coastal experience with turquoise water
shimmering sand and no shortage of activities while you'll obviously want to spend the day
in the sun don't sleep on miami beach's art deco historic district when night falls you can explore
landmarks like the colony hotel which looks even more ravishing when illuminated with restaurants
clubs and cabaret ocean drive in general is where the nightlife's at the following morning head over
to lincoln road for a day of shopping and dining we can't think of a spot that better encompasses
miami's lively yet laid-back atmosphere number two walt disney world after the craziness of 2020 we
could all use a bit more disney in our lives the most magical place on earth is hoping to introduce
several new attractions in 2021 the tron light cycle power run which made its debut in shanghai
disneyland is currently under construction at the magic kingdom's tomorrowland remy's ratatouille
adventure a 3d dark ride that originated from disneyland paris is migrating to epcot in the
foreseeable future epcot will also see the opening of guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind an
out-of-this-world rollercoaster the addition we're most excited for isn't a ride but a hotel staying
at star wars galactic star cruiser it'll feel like spending the night in a galaxy far far away
number 1. everglades national park to get to the root of what makes florida so special you need to
experience this tropical wilderness first hand when the sun rises and a streak of yellow light
hits the water as birds soar in the morning sky you'll understand why the everglades national park
tops this countdown becoming a world heritage site in 1979 the park is home to the western
hemisphere's biggest mangrove ecosystem it's also one of the most fragile ecosystems in the u.s
as long as you treat the plant and wildlife with the respect they deserve though you can
enjoy a tranquil day canoeing or a heart racing day aboard an airboat either way the everglades
captures florida at its most enchanting do you agree with our picks check out this other recent
