The new Visit Central Florida Brochure is out now, and it puts Polk County Florida firmly in the spotlight. Tucked between Orlando and Tampa, this is the Florida travellers rarely see. Think small-town charm, warm smiles and sunshine at every turn. It is close to everything, yet blissfully away from it all.
Real Flavours of Polk County Florida
Central Florida’s food scene is booming. Towns are filled with original restaurants serving fresh, locally grown produce. Farm-raised beef, pork and poultry star on many menus. So does lip-smacking barbecue, earning the region its nickname of BBQ Capital of Florida.
Citrus lovers are in for a treat too. Family-run U-pick farms welcome visitors to gather their own fruit. Golden Ridge Groves even offers tours explaining how it all grows and ripens.
Unmissable Central Florida Attractions
There is plenty for nature lovers and thrill seekers alike. Cruise the historic Chain of Lakes or spot wildlife on a wild safari. Catch a Detroit Tigers spring training game for a taste of authentic Americana.
Botanical gardens fans should head to Bok Tower Gardens, home to a striking 205-foot singing tower. Architecture enthusiasts can tour the largest collection of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, found at Florida Southern College in Lakeland. For something wilder, Westgate River Ranch Resort hosts the USA’s longest-running Saturday night rodeo.
Theme park fun is never far away either. Polk County is home to LEGOLAND Florida Resort and the Peppa Pig Theme Park. New additions include SEA LIFE Florida and the immersive LEGO Galaxy area, anchored by the Galacticoaster.
Space and Value in Polk County Florida
Families will love the choice of over 8,500 affordable holiday homes near Orlando’s famous attractions. Areas like Davenport and Haines City offer two to six bedroom properties, many with private pools. It often works out cheaper than a hotel room, with far more space to relax.
Whether it is slow evenings by the pool or action-packed days exploring, Polk County Florida delivers real magic. The new brochure captures it all beautifully.
