Have fun at Florida theme parks

Legoland Florida is set to open

Florida is full of attractions for families to explore, it is claimed.

Travel insurance policyholders searching for a fun-filled holiday should consider heading to Florida in the US.

According to Jo Eckersley, UK public relations officer for Central Florida Visitors and Convention Bureau, there is plenty to do in this part of the world.

She says the state is seen as a "top-ranking attraction" among foreign travellers, although it is just as popular with people from the US.

There tends to be a "steady flow" of people coming to the area from many nations, including the UK.

One choice would be to go to Polk Country, which is in the centre of the Florida peninsula and sits half way between the border connecting Georgia.

Here there are many options for holidaymakers, such as Bok Tower Gardens, which is full of botanical wonders.

Another option is to see a Carillon bell tower, which is an unusual feature in the US and the site plays host to a number of "spectacular" open-air concerts all through the year.

Culture-vultures should seek out Pinewood Estate, as the 1930s stately home offers a unique insight into the history of Florida.

The "beautiful" house is great for people of all ages and Ms Eckersley explains tourists can take part in trails, as well as seeing botanical history, rare plants and wildlife.

Finally, individuals should check out Cypress Gardens, Florida's first theme attraction, which has now become a Legoland venue and will open on October 15th.

"It retains all of the best bits of Cypress Gardens, from the magical appeal for the under-12s audience to beautiful botanical gardens and the world famous water-ski show, all of which are all retained in some form or another in the new Legoland Florida," Ms Eckersley claims.
