Kissimmee, Florida has so many outdoor adventures that you can explore by air, land, or water. At some spots, you can even do all three! Look at all these amazing activities just waiting for you and your entire family during your next visit to sunny Kissimmee.

Air

Zip Lining

The Alligator Capital of the World known as Gatorland opened in 1949 as Central Florida’s first attraction. This spot truly lives up to its name and is the perfect place to learn about Florida’s native creatures. Here, you can explore Kissimmee by air, land, and even water! First, strap in for the Screamin’ Gator zip line experience where you’ll soar 1,200 feet over an alligator breeding marsh. Then, walk around the park where you can watch special alligator and crocodile shows, participate in animal encounters, and spot some unique wild animals that call Florida home. And finally, a day at Gatorland isn’t complete until you’ve gone on the Stompin’ Gator Off-Road Adventure where you’ll ride in a monster-style, off-road vehicle over hills, across giant mud puddles, and even splashing through a pond filled with alligators. But don’t worry, you’ll sit 12 feet above the water!
