Five FREE Places You
Can Spend Quality Time in Florida
By: Mark Whichard
If you are thinking that
being in Florida means you have to spend every move you
make, well, you are wrong. You can still have a lot of fun
without spending a cent either with your family and friends
or just you. Of course, you won't believe it! But take a
little time reading this article and you will find out.
#1. Sunset
Celebrations are FREE
One thing you should
remember is that, Florida always has beautiful sunsets and
people there always think it is worth-celebrating. Well, it
is! Not just because it is free, but because people are used
to it; everyday, before sunset, people from Key West and
Clearwater Beach gather to celebrate. Live bands play,
entertainers give joy to the crowd, painters starts to
sketch, etc…
#2. FREE Top Beaches
You wouldn't believe if I
told you that you can enjoy along the beach of Florida for
free. Well, I tell what; Fort DeSoto Park in Pinellas County
offers free public recreation. It is not just because it's
free, but because it is one of America's top beaches and is
known for its "Paw Playground" and being a pet-friendly.
There's nothing else you need to do; just take a picnic or
pack lunch and there for the whole day until you can see the
spectacular views of the setting sun!
#3. National Naval
Aviation Museum has FREE Admission
You don't have to worry
much when you are at the museum because it offers free
parking space and admission; although, you just have to look
for a space to park your car within the compound as there
are lots of spectators everyday. Additionally, from March
'til November, every Tuesday and Wednesday, you can witness
the practices of Blue Angels. After which, there will be an
autograph session for the pilots. So, you can meet the
people who fly the birds worth more than a billion dollar a
piece.
#4. Wine Tasting for
FREE
Lakeridge Winery &
Vineyard is open all day long for the whole week, whole year
'round. When you are in Florida, you can definitely be one
of the wine tasters who will be able to witness, on video
and orientation, the growth of grapes from the very first
day they sprouted until the day they bear fruit to be used
for making wine. Now, if it is your hobby to taste first
class and most expensive wines, Lakeridge Winery & Vineyard
is the best place for you to make your dream come true.
#5. FREE Day in Lake
Mirror
Lake Mirror is one of the
best places you can go in Orlando without spending a dime.
You can have two beautiful options, too; the Barnett Family
Park and the Hollis Garden. Barnett Family Park is a unique
and beautifully-themed playground and water play with lots
of large pavilions for parties and gatherings. On the
other hand, Hollis Garden is a 1.2-acre botanical garden
overlooking the beautiful Lake Mirror Promenade. In here,
you will be able to witness thousands of plants and
ornamentals.
The Bottom Line
Not because Florida is
one of the best destinations that you will have to pay every
time you go from one place to another. In fact, there are
even more places which you can spend quality time for free
whenever you are having vacation in Florida. Sometimes, you
just have to dig deeper to find these places. And if ever
you are asking why there are only five places mentioned
here, it is for you to find out other free hangouts.
