3 incredible ways to experience Kissimmee, Fla., as a family
Just south of the hubbub of Orlando, everything slows down. This is a place where Old Florida vibes run fresh. A place where families can disconnect — and reconnect.

This place is Kissimmee, and it’s built to be explored by kids of all ages. Here are three ways to do it.

If you thought the waters of Kissimmee were something else, wait until you get into the air. Just be prepared for the kids to be over their swingsets — you can install a zipline in the backyard, right?
