Travel insights from Visit Central Florida

There are few times happier for a family than going on vacation; it is their special time for being together where they should only be thinking about fun and making great memories. Of course, our world is made up of all kinds of families, including families with children who have special needs or different sensory abilities. Central Florida’s Polk County area is proud to offer these families a welcoming environment right in the heart of Florida, where some of the area’s greatest attractions do everything they can to make sure all families and the littlest of kiddos have the best time ever.

Nestled between Orlando and Tampa, Polk County is a location where families can truly unwind, it is close to all the famous attractions of Central Florida while far enough away to avoid some of the frantic pace and higher costs. The area now offers some great options for families who have children with varying abilities. Attractions such as the Peppa Pig Theme Park, LEGOLAND Florida Resort, the Florida Children’s Museum can help families focus that little bit more on the fun.

Added to this is 3 other Theme parks that are owned by Sea World that are Certified Autism Centers. Including the Aquatica waterpark that is the only waterpark in the world to be certified.
