7 Free Things to Do in Florida
1. Visit the Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center
The Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center is one of the best places to visit in Florida, regardless of whether or not it has a free entry for its visitors. This place gives you a glimpse into the world of native plants and animals spread over 6000 square feet. Once you’re here, you can explore exhibits in their habitats. Also don’t forget to check out the Mote Marine Laboratory that allows you to explore marine life at its best.
2. Hit Siesta Key
Siesta Key is one of the top rated beaches in the county and boasts of having the finest, whitest sand in the world, making it one of the greatest wonders of Florida. If you’re planning to stay back here overnight, you’ll also find tons of hotel options to choose from.
3. Go to the Town of Murals Walking Tour
What could be better than strolling the streets of Florida and getting a glimpse of the famous murals and wall arts that adorn it? Taking the Town of the Murals Walking Tour isn’t just light on your wallet (considering the fact that it is free), but also great way to find little surprises on every street and alley in downtown.
4. Check Out the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory
How would you feel about spending some time in a butterfly farm that houses over 50 different live species of butterflies in a very carefully climate controlled, glass habitat? And yes, the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory is not just that- it also houses species of butterfly-friendly birds, flowering plants, waterfalls and so much more!
5. Visit Daytona Beach
Beaches are an absolute no-brainer if you’re looking to spend some time in Florida without having to shell out anything, but that’s not the only reason why you should visit Daytona Beach. The sand here is hard packed, which allows motorized vehicles to drive along its surface. You’ll also find several waterfront parks here, and if you go at the right time, you can also enjoy one of their free special attractions that they host.
6. Check Out Spook Hill
Oh yes! Spook Hill is another top choice for tourists in Florida- and it is actually nothing more than a gravity hill located on the Lake Wales Ridge. For all those who like mind-bending tricks and optical illusions, this free place is worth the visit.
7. Visit the Museum of Florida History
If immersing yourself in history and culture is your thing, visiting the museum of Florida History is a great idea. Not only is it free, but it also gives you the chance to view some rare artifacts and bits and pieces of history that you probably won’t find anywhere else.
