Other Local Attractions

Florida is definately more than just Theme Parks!

On those days when you simply want to do something different there are many things to enjoy, including Golf, Beaches, Nature Parks, Shopping and sightseeing.

International Drive

orlando eye just minutes from villa santa cruz

International Drive has evolved from being a slightly run down strip of hotels and gift shops to being a great local attraction in it’s own right.

Featuring the Orlando 360 entertainment complex which houses some great nightlife, restaurants, the Orlando Eye sightseeing wheel, Madam Tussauds and the SeaLife Centre.

International Drive also hosts the Premium Outlets shopping complex, Pointe Orlando shopping centre, which houses the amazing WonderWorks museum and the exciting ‘Fun Spot‘ theme park, which offers Go Karting and some great small rides.

All these attractions are just a 20 minute drive from Villa Santa Cruz. For more information take a look at our Locations page.

Rock Springs Run at Kelly Park

Rock Springs Run at Kelly Park

Rock Springs Run at Kelly Park provides natural beauty and a relaxing day away from the theme parks

About 45 minutes north of Villa Santa Cruz in Apopka, Rock Springs Run at Kelly Park is a great value and low key day out.

Rent a ‘tube’ from outside the park ($5) and drive on in for just $5 per car.  Take a picnic or even barbeque food (barbecues are available for use – bring your own charcoal) and make a day of it.

The stunningly clear natural spring has a gentle current to float you serenely along for about a mile before you follow the woodland paths back to the beginning for another go.  At the center is a swimming lagoon with small beach and sunbathing areas.  A snack bar/concession stand is available for drinks, snacks and ice creams.

We have enjoyed this with our family and can highly recommend it for a great value and fun day out for the whole family.

Daytona Beach, Atlantic Coast

70 miles / 1.5 hours drive

Daytona has over 20 miles of stunning wide sandy beach

Daytona beach is the home of the endangered Green turtles, which from May – October make their way up the beach and lay their eggs and then return to the sea. Two months later the eggs hatch and hundreds of baby turtles make their way back to the sea.

For NASCAR fans Daytona is the home of the Daytona Speedway which has various meets throughout the year plus the annual Daytona 500, held in February

Cocoa Beach, Space Coast

50 Miles / 75 minutes drive

The closest beach to Orlando. Cocoa beach is located on the Atlantic coast

Just south of Kennedy Space Center, Cocoa beach provides a great viewing spot to watch a launch – if your’e lucky enough to time it right!

The atlantic coast has a cooler sea than the gulf of mexico and has larger waves, making it perfect for surfers.

Cocoa beach is also the home of the original famous ‘Ron Jons’, the largest Surf Shop in the world.

Clearwater Beach, Gulf coast

70 miles / 1.5 hour drive

Clearwater Beach is Located just East of Tampa

With beautiful white ‘talcum powder’ sand and superb sunset views every night, Clearwater Beach is close enough for a day trip. As well as the traditional sunbathing and swimming, Clearwater marina offers exciting Dolphin spotting tours out into the Gulf of Mexico – highly recommended!

Gatorland Orlando

30 minutes drive

Gatorland Orlando has been one of Orlando’s classic attractions for over 60 years.

Privately owned by the same family since 1949, Gatorland Orlando is a themepark and wildlife reserve. Giving visitors a fun day out and showcasing thousands of Florida alligators. Other attractions include a free flight aviary and petting zoo and ‘Gator Wrestling’
