Get your aviator gear on and come experience the Fantasy of Flight, an aerospace adventure where you will witness a vast collection of real and rare vintage aircraft, such as The Short Sunderland, B-26 Marauder, B-24 Liberator, a Curtiss TP40, P51 Mustangs and more. Visitors can go play in the clouds on a biplane or balloon ride, or even practice your piloting skills on the WWII Stearman “Hands On” Flight. And if all of the altitude excitement has left you hungry, then stop by the Compass Rose Diner for a snack off the short order menu.

Feel the thrill of skydiving – without jumping out of a plane. Skyventure is an indoor wind-tunnel that simulates what it’s like to freefall, but you won’t need a parachute. Instead, get suited up with helmet, goggles and jumpsuit – watch the training video – and then follow the instructor to the 1000 horsepower wind tunnel. If this isn't for you then watch your brave companions from the observation deck above. But you’ll miss the thrill when the fans power on, and the air hits you at 150 miles per hour and you’re flying! If in the excitement you forget your training - the instructor is along to guide you – keeping you aloft and your grinning cheeks flapping in the hurricane force winds.

Begun as a roadside attraction in 1949, Gatorland is now a 110 acre theme park featuring shows, rides, and, of course, those famous Florida gators. Take the Express Railroad for a tour around the grounds, then drop into Allie’s Barnyard to pet some of the cuddlier creatures who live here. Relax at the Gator wrestling show, or get startled at the Jumparoo – where the giant reptiles leap five feet out of the water to snatch food in their toothy jaws. And when you’ve had enough of the heat, cool off at the Splash Park where egrets spill water from their giant beaks.
