Florida, especially Orlando, is known for their amazing parks. As I stated in my last blog, there are many natural things to do in Florida. Besides heading to the beach, you can visit a state park or natural area. See some of my favourites below.
Florida offers a variety of naturalistic experiences. Here are ten things to do for nature lovers:
