CENTRAL FLORIDA HOLIDAYS 2027 & 2028 

Where is your happy place? If it's on holiday with fewer crowds, wide open spaces, and authentic experiences, we know where the real magic lies. Discover an oasis of calm in Central Florida’s Polk County...

Located between Orlando and Tampa, Central Florida’s Polk County offers unexpected experiences that give you something that the theme parks just can’t touch: the REAL Florida magic. Stunning natural beauty, historic gems, one-of-a-kind attractions rooted in the area’s unique heritage.  

The region is also known for its growing culinary scene, with many local restaurants serving fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Polk County is especially famous for its barbecue, earning the title “BBQ Capital of Florida.” As one of the world’s leading citrus-growing areas, Florida also offers visitors the chance to pick their own fruit at family-run U-pick farms or learn about citrus farming at Golden Ridge Groves.
 
This is the perfect place for family fun in the sun, where you can be within easy reach of the action yet just far enough away for privacy and peace of mind.

Whether your group is as small as two or as large as twenty, you can select your precise location, amenities, and cherished family memories from thousands of Exact Homes in Central Florida - always with expert guidance. Filter by interest, facilities, region, popularity, and price. Or simply book one of our carefully crafted deals below to ensure you get the very best value.

Get Lost in Nature 

Uncover the hidden gem of Central Florida’s stunning nature. First, look no further than Bok Tower Gardens' manicured lawns in Lake Wales. Here, seasonal flowers bloom across a 250-acre garden that is home to 126 bird species. They fly above Bok Tower itself, a 205-foot octagonal structure of pink and grey marble that resides at the garden’s highest point. Known as the singing tower, the 23-bell carillon chimes every hour. 
  
Next, Safari Wilderness Ranch for something a little bit different. Neither a zoo nor a theme park, this is simply an adventure in nature with little crowds and no lines. Instead, a knowledgeable and experienced tour guide will take through large herds of exotic animals and over 260 acres of pure wilderness in custom safari vehicles. Or you can even try the drive-thru tour option and venture in the comfort of your own car. 

Alternative Theme Park Fun 

Florida’s biggest theme parks deliver some of the fastest and flashiest rides in the world. However, when you’re travelling with little ones, smaller thrills often deliver the biggest smiles. For this reason, we love Central Florida’s LEGOLAND and Peppa Pig Theme Park. Nestled next door to each other, they let children’s imaginations run wild in a safe and secure environment - including sensory-friendly zones for those who need a mini break from it all.  

Our favourite attractions include the brand-new Galacticoaster, an immersive, space-themed indoor rollercoaster and the town of Bricksburg, where you’ll find brand new rides, character experiences and more inspired by The LEGO® Movie™ universe. When you want to cool down in the Florida sun, head to the LEGOLAND® Water Park where you can soak up tons of family fun - not least in the wave pool. Then come the afternoon, roll up to a fun fair with Peppa and Co, where you can explore a maze in Granny Pig’s Garden, and hop, crawl and climb in Rebecca Rabbit’s Playground, just to name a few memorable experiences. 

The REAL Florida awaits!
