LEGOLAND® Florida
Info
Central Florida's Winter Haven is home to LEGOLAND® Florida
a 150-acre interactive theme park with more than 50 rides, shows and attractions, restaurants, shops, a breathtaking botanical garden and the LEGOLAND® Florida Water Park.
LEGOLAND® Florida is the largest of the six LEGOLAND® Parks located around the globe.
A Central Florida vacation to LEGOLAND® Florida offers the ultimate family bonding experience as the park is laser focused on families with children ages 2 to 12. Visitors can explore and enjoy 11 easy-to-navigate and highly-themed zones that include "pink-knuckle" roller coasters, Miniland USA, the Imagination Zone, and LEGO City where children can learn to drive by navigating their own LEGO cars and boats.
LEGOLAND® Florida Water Park
LEGOLAND® Florida Water Park is designed to keep visitors feeling cool and refreshed. Fun, water-themed LEGO models created from more than four million LEGO bricks adorn the invigorating water features, which include a 500,000 gallon wave pool, the "Build-A-Raft" lazy river, tube slides, body slides, and DUPLO® Safari, an interactive water-play structure for toddlers. LEGOLAND® Florida and LEGOLAND® Water Park have seasonal closures so it is advised to consult both parks' schedules when planning your Central Florida vacation.
LEGO® Star WarsTM Miniland
In late 2012, LEGOLAND® Florida expanded their famous Miniland USA with the addition of an interactive LEGO® Star WarsTM Miniland (crafted from 1.5 million LEGO bricks). Brave guests can confront the dark side by posing for selfies with a life-sized Darth Vader.
The World of Chima presented by the Cartoon Network
Based on the LEGO® Legends of Chima product line, The World of Chima immerses visitors in a fantastical story in which tribes of animal warriors compete in epic battles for CHI, the kingdom's mystical energy source. Daring visitors to Chima board boats armed with water cannons to do battle with rival boats and spectators on shore on The Quest for CHI water ride, a highly interactive, sure-to-soak-you family-friendly experience. The World of Chima, including the Quest for CHI water ride, is separate from LEGOLAND® Water Park, making the Quest for CHI a refreshing reprieve from Florida's balmy temperatures during seasonal periods when the water park is not open.
DUPLO® Valley
A herd of cows, goats, chickens, and sheep arrived at LEGOLAND® Florida to graze about in their new homes in the park's latest expansion, DUPLO® Valley, specifically geared to toddlers ages 2 to 5. The DUPLO farm animals will be key features in two of the attractions, the mini tractor ride and the water play area. DUPLO Valley is the ideal place for park guests to play and relax with their toddlers with new farm-themed attractions, an air-conditioned indoor play area, and a water play area.
Cypress Gardens - Florida's First Theme Park
LEGOLAND® Florida has preserved the historic heritage of Cypress Gardens by retaining the world renowned botanical gardens of that original property, including the vast Banyan tree that was planted there as a seedling in 1939. LEGOLAND® Florida carries on another tradition of its predecessor daily water ski shows but with a LEGO and pirate themed flair. Earlier this year, LEGOLAND® Florida reopened two iconic sections of Cypress Gardens, the Florida Pool and the Oriental Gardens. The Florida Pool, shaped like the state it is named for, was originally built as a set for the 1953 film, "Easy to Love", starring Esther Williams.
LEGOLAND® Hotel Opening 2015
LEGOLAND® Hotel Opening 2015
With so many fun things to see and do at LEGOLAND® Florida, the attraction has blossomed into a multi-day Central Florida family destination. To make things more convenient for guests, in November 2013, LEGOLAND® Florida announced plans to build a LEGOLAND® Hotel adjacent to the park. Slated to open in 2015, the four-story LEGO-themed hotel will feature 152 brightly colored rooms and suites, LEGO décor, interactive play areas, a pool and a restaurant. The LEGOLAND® Hotel will be situated just steps from the park's entrance, overlooking beautiful Lake Eloise. In the meantime, guests looking to stay in the area have numerous options for Central Florida accommodations, including nationally known hotel chains, bed and breakfasts, luxurious vacation rental homes, and properties that partner with LEGOLAND® Florida in their "Bed and Brick" program.

Famed architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) designed his "Child of the Sun" collection on Lakeland's Florida Southern College campus. Florida Southern's campus contains the world's largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2012. Wright began his work with Florida Southern in 1938, conceiving a master plan for "a college of tomorrow" that came to include 18 structures, 12 of which were built during Wright's life, between 1938 and 1958.
Frank Lloyd Wright Architecture at Florida Southern College
Looking to experience something unique during your Central Florida vacation? The Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center at the campus of Florida Southern College may provide an ideal opportunity, especially if you have architectural aficionados in your family or group. Offering a wide range of distinctive architectural features and events, The Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center truly offers something for everyone in your travel party.
The History Of The Sharp Family Tourism And Education Center
Located on the campus of Florida Southern College, the Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center first opened its doors in November of 2013. As part of their grand opening, the Center unveiled its cultural centerpiece: Usonian House. Designed by world famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1939, the Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center's Usonian House holds the distinction of being the first location where this particular Wright design has ever been built. Of course, Frank Lloyd Wright architecture has a long-standing history with FSC; the campus not only has the largest one-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world, the "Child of the Sun" collection, it was also designated as a National Historic Landmark in 2012. Wright himself first partnered with Florida Southern College in 1938 when he implemented his vision of a "college of tomorrow." He designed 18 structures for the campus, but just 12 were completed, between 1938 and 1958. Last year, the Usonian House using Wright's original 1939 design became the 13th Wright structure to be built at FSC, welcoming campus visitors as the centerpiece of the Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center.
Key Features Of The Usonian House: What You'll Experience On Your Central Florida Vacation
As the central focus of the campus, the Usonian House offers a wide range of visually engaging architectural elements. The surface of this unique structure touts 2,000 interlocking textile blocks as well as 6,000 hand-inserted colored glass blocks. Keeping with the tradition and authenticity of a Wright home, the Usonian House also showcases a wide range of reproduction furniture designed by the master architect himself. One look at the Usonian House is all it takes for visiting guests to realize that this building truly captures the very essence of Wright's architectural genius.

Cypress Gardens Florida's First Theme Park
LEGOLAND® Florida has preserved the historic heritage of Cypress Gardens by retaining the world renowned botanical gardens of that original property, including the vast Banyan tree that was planted there as a seedling in 1939. LEGOLAND® Florida carries on another tradition of its predecessor daily water ski shows but with a LEGO and pirate themed flair. Earlier this year, LEGOLAND® Florida reopened two iconic sections of Cypress Gardens, the Florida Pool and the Oriental Gardens. The Florida Pool, shaped like the state it is named for, was originally built as a set for the 1953 film, "Easy to Love", starring Esther Williams.

With so many fun things to see and do at LEGOLAND® Florida, the attraction has blossomed into a multi-day Central Florida family destination.

Slated to open in 2015, the four-story LEGO-themed hotel will feature 152 brightly colored rooms and suites, LEGO décor, interactive play areas, a pool and a restaurant.

From nature parks to state parks, Central Florida offers interesting trip itineraries for the outdoor and nature lover.
All too often, planning the itinerary for a getaway revolves around indoor or man-made fun and attractions.
Vacationers feel that they can commune with nature in their own backyards and instead opt for popular, manufactured fun while they are on their trip. However, anyone who's ever been on a Central Florida vacation knows firsthand that Polk County provides a major exception to this particular holiday mindset.
Yes, there are a host of world-renowned theme parks and fun centers located just outside of Polk County that will provide endless hours of vacation thrills.

Via the Water
With 554 lakes within its boundaries, land activities are not the only things to do in Central Florida.
One of the best ways to get water bound? Partake in some world renowned Florida fishing opportunities that only this area can deliver.
There's a reason why Central Florida is known as the "Bass Capital of the World;" the water here is (literally) swimming with them.
Not only are there lakes in this region popular for sport fishing, but the Polk County phosphate pits have recently garnered attention as a bass hotspot favored by seasoned anglers as well.
While the mighty bass thrive in abundance here

The water here is teeming with a wide variety of species including crappie, catfish and bluegill. No matter what you're looking to reel in, chance are you'll find it during your Polk County trip.

Best of all, the area touts enough public boat ramps to ensure maximum convenience getting in or out of the water.
Camping
Not quite ready to let the outdoor excitement end?
Fortunately, visiting Central Florida means you don't have to. Polk County offers a wide range of camping options for non stop outdoor fun and excitement. Whether you're looking to pitch a simple tent and rough it, or would prefer a little more protection from the elements (and more access to modern conveniences) you'll find the perfect campsite situation that suits your entire traveling party.
With so much to see, do and enjoy, it's no wonder that getting outdoors tops many travelers' lists of things to do in Central Florida.
Spring Training in Central Florida
Coming off an unusually cold winter for most of the country, thoughts of a spring vacation in Central Florida are extremely enticing. The weather is mild, the fragrant scent of orange blossoms hangs in the air... and baseball fever is in full swing. For the devoted baseball fan, it doesn't get much better than spring training in Florida. It's the chance to experience a different kind of Major League Baseball, the way it was decades ago before the huge stadiums and inflated ticket prices. Spring training facilities are smaller, so every seat in the house provides a great view of the action. The atmosphere is more relaxed and the players are more accessible than at a major league stadium. In fact, fans are welcome to interact with the players and have been known to come home with an occasional autograph or two. Fans are even allowed to watch teams practice. Players will report to begin 2014 practice sessions in mid-February.
2014 RussMatt Baseball Central Florida Collegiate Invitational
Major League Baseball spring training isn't the only Central Florida baseball tradition. The annual RussMatt Baseball Central Florida Collegiate Invitational is a crowd-pleasing favorite that keeps players and spectators coming back to check out the action year after year. This year's event runs from February 21 through April 20 and will feature more than 200 college teams in all divisions (NCAA Div I, II, III, NAIA and JUCO). That's more college teams participating in the Central Florida Collegiate Invitational than in all other Florida spring break competitions combined. Visit centralfloridasports.com to find out when and where your favorite team is playing.
2014 Central Florida Rebel Spring Games
Polk County Sports Marketing recruited the Rebel Spring Games to Polk County for a 10 year deal, beginning in March 2014. Nearly 70 NCAA Division I, II, and III softball teams are expected to participate this first year, in the more than 400 games scheduled between March 3 and March 18. The Auburndale Softball Complex and Winter Haven's DiamondPlex will host all of the games played in 2014, with the hope of expanding the numbers of teams and facilities as the event grows. Check team schedules at centralfloridasports.com.
Experience a Longstanding Tradition
Central Florida's tradition of spring training baseball goes back more than 100 years, when the Chicago Cubs held the first spring training in Tampa in 1913.
Today, 15 Major League Baseball teams comprise Florida's Grapefruit League, venturing to locations all across sunny Florida to compete.
Centrally located in the heart of the action is Lakeland, the spring training home of the Detroit Tigers.
This spring marks the Tigers 78th season at Tiger Town in Lakeland, continuing the longest-standing relationship between a major league team and a current spring training host city. It also marks the Tigers 49th consecutive season of exhibition play at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland. A new element for the 2014 season will be manager Brad Ausmus, who was selected to replace Jim Leyland after his retirement.
The 2013 American League Central Division Champions
begin their 2014 exhibition schedule on Tuesday, February 25 as they host Florida Southern College in their annual matchup against the FSC Moccasins at Lakeland's Joker Marchant Stadium. The club opens the home portion of their Grapefruit League schedule against the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, February 27.
The Tigers schedule is highlighted by a visit from the New York Yankees on February 28
as well as three visits from the National League East Division Champion Atlanta Braves on February 27, March 25 and March 27, and a visit from the National League Champion St. Louis Cardinals on March 3. The schedule also features home games against the Pittsburgh Pirates (March 4), New York Mets (March 8) and Washington Nationals (March 14 and March 17). The Tigers will conclude their spring season against the Washington Nationals with an away game on March 29, after their final home game against the Tampa Bay Rays in Lakeland on March 28.
Not a Tigers fan? No problem. Maybe your favorite team is one of the 14 other teams training in Florida.
Lakeland is still the perfect home base for your spring training getaway, with several Florida Grapefruit League spring training teams within about an hours' drive including the Atlanta Braves, the New York Yankees, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Houston Astros and the Toronto Blue Jays.
