3 Best Day Trips from Orlando, Florida | Condé Nast Traveler

"Silver Springs State Park has a storied past; home to America’s largest spring, it was arguably the first tourist attraction in Florida . Today, visitors flock to the park for its famous glass-bottomed boat tours; more adventurous travelers can also kayak or canoe. The 5,000-acre park, the perfect choice for outdoor enthusiasts who've had enough Florida beaches, charges a nominal admission fee, but it's worth it for the experience of encountering diverse local wildlife, including manatees and turtles." - Terry Ward, Laura Ratliff
