It's not just about Orlando, either; Central Florida is packed with attractions from coast to coast.
Tampa (I-4 west to I-75) ? Theme park enthusiasts will come to Tampa for Busch Gardens, but there's plenty else to do and see in Florida's third most populous city, including Buccaneers football, Rays baseball, and Lightning hockey.
Clermont (I-4 to US 192 to US 27 N) ? Check out one of the oldest central Florida landmarks, the Citrus Tower. Completed in 1956, this 226-foot observation tower still stands tall over former orange groves.
Daytona Beach (I-4 east to I-95) ? Home to NASCAR's most legendary racetrack. The Daytona 500 Experience is billed as "The Official Attraction of NASCAR", a must for car-racing fans.
Cape Canaveral (I-4 east to SR 528) ? While countless cruise ships dock at Port Canaveral just to the north, the Cape is most well known for the Kennedy Space Center, where American astronauts have been launching into space since the 1960s. There's a museum on the history of space exploration, two IMAX theatres, and tour buses to the (otherwise restricted) launch facility.
