If you can’t afford a Florida theme park, try a state park instead.

Florida residents are turning state parks as an affordable alternative for recreation and fun. According to statistics released by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, 21.4 million people visited a Florida state park this past fiscal year.

There are 160 state parks in Florida for residents to choose from that offer many opportunities for visitors including museums, forts, gardens, lakes, rivers, crystal clear springs and white sandy beaches. Visitors can hike, bicycle, paddle, dive fish, swim, ride horseback and an abundance of wildlife.

You can find out more about Florida’s many state parks by visiting the information center.
