Kissimmee Vacations

Located in central Florida, Kissimmee has become a popular destination for those seeking a more relaxing and peaceful vacation than can be found in nearby Orlando. That said, those who are interested in visiting the massive theme parks in Orlando often choose to stay in Kissimmee because of its close proximity and affordability. Water enthusiasts love being able to visit both East Lake Tohopekaliga and Lake Tohopekaliga. Both lakes are located within ten miles of the city limits and offer extensive boating, fishing and camping opportunities. The tourist population of Kissimmee swells during the spring when baseball enthusiasts flood into town to watch the Houston Astros conduct their annual spring training at Osceola Country Stadium. Those who are interested in learning more about the history of the region should be sure to make a stop at the Osceola Country Historical Society. Its premier exhibit is the Pioneer Village and Museum, which allows visitors to see how life existed in Kissimmee during the 19th century. Vacationers interested in juicing up their adrenaline should definitely make the short drive to Zip Orlando. As one of the longest, fastest and highest zip lines in the nation, it offers a heart-racing experience like no other. Those traveling with children are well-served by visiting the Green Meadows Petting Farm. Kids will love learning how a farm actually works, while also having the opportunity to interact with live animals such as cows and goats.
