10 Best Roadside Attractions Near Orlando | Florida Roadside Attractions
Orlando is famous for its theme parks and family-friendly attractions. But if you're looking for something a little off the beaten path, consider checking out a few of the area's best roadside attractions.
In the 1920s and 30s as Florida's population grew and more people began to travel by car, a number of new roadside attractions sprung up along the state's highways. These oddball places broke up the long journey and allowed visitors to see something interesting.
Cypress Gardens made its debut in the mid 1930s, becoming famous for its water ski shows. By the end of the decade, Marineland had opened south of St. Augustine. This oceanside marine park was one of the first places in the world where visitors could swim with dolphins.
New quirky attractions continued to spring up around the state throughout the 50s and 60s as Florida’s tourism industry kept growing. But the rise of the modern theme park in the 70s and 80s marked the beginning of the end for many of the smaller attractions. They just weren’t able to keep up with the times and travelers would pass them by on the way to Disney,.
Fortunately for those nostalgic for a simpler time, a surprising number of classic roadside attractions are still open and continue to attract visitors from all over the world.
On this episode, we begin a new series highlighting the best roadside attractions near Orlando. The first installment covers everything from vibrant gardens and deep springs to vintage landmarks and even some newer places you can’t miss.

10 Things You Can't Miss in Clermont, Florida // Travel Tips for 2022
Take State Road 50 west from Orlando into Lake County and you’ll reach the “gem of the hills.” The city of Clermont was founded in the 1880s, a heritage on full display through a series of original structures on the banks of Lake Minneola.
Dominating one of the most prominent hills in the area is the 50’s-era Florida Citrus Tower. This 226-foot-tall tribute to the region’s citrus industry provides a bird’s eye view of the landscape which has evolved from orange groves to modern-day housing developments.
While an observation tower might be the city’s biggest claim to fame, the historic downtown area has become a destination for local foodies. With several food halls and vendor markets occupying space on and near Montrose Street and other locally-owned brick and mortars, historic Clermont has become one of our favorite places to hang out on a Saturday.
Here’s our list of 10 Things You Must Do in Clermont.

In today's video, we had a suggestion to do a tour of Downtown Inverness, Florida. We just did a tour of Downtown Crystal River, FL in Citrus County so we decided that it was time to do a tour in Inverness! Inverness has a neat little downtown. There are plenty of places to eat. We noticed that it seemed a lot of places were closed on Mon/Tue. They do have the car show on some Fridays and that seems like the best time to head down there. There is a lot of history in the courthouse as Elvis filmed a movie there. If you are looking for a quiet, small downtown, check out Inverness, FL in Citrus County!
Stay tuned for another video coming soon. Thanks so much for watching! God Bless!!!
