Florida tourist info has yielded plenty of unique stops along the way to the coast that are enjoyable for the entire family. Best Roadside Attraction: The Coral Castle Museum
This awe inspiring and somewhat mysterious structure was built by the hand of one man, Latvian native Ed Leedskalnin. Constructed with over 1,000 tons of coral, this structure was a tribute to Agnes, the woman who left him at the altar many years earlier. Florida tourist info highlights the great mystery of this castle: the fact that Ed built it all alone, using what he referred to as "the secret of the pyramids."

If your Florida road trips include a visit to this burger house, be prepared to get there early enough to bet the daily lunch-rush.Jack's Hamburgers Best Ghost Story: The Flagler MuseumThis of the Florida day trips gets my vote for best ghost story because I have personally seen ghosts here! It happened on a trip to the Flagler Museum with my mom when I was about 13. I was playing hookey from school for the day, and we had a rare afternoon with just the two of us. I had been to the museum before, and it was one of my favorite spots to daydream, so Mom suggested we take another trip.Looking back, the day was quite odd. We saw what we thought was a new addition to the museum. There were several people dressed in period garb dancing and leaning over a hallway balcony. They looked happy. When we were done with our exploration, the lady in the gift shop mentioned that several people had reported ghost sightings lately. My mother told us that she had seen a girl in a wicker chair sitting at a balcony and waiving at her. She thought perhaps the girl, dressed in period clothing, was a ghost. To get a reference for where she saw this girl, I asked her if it was by the people who were dressed up and dancing on the balcony. The gift counter girl looked at me funny and told me there were no dancing people at the museum. My mother and I both went back to the balcony - the same balcony that we both saw different things - and realized it was completely empty. You can't beat that for a great story to tell about Florida's Flagler museum! I recommend this fabulous mansion to anyone who wants a great piece of local history...and a little spooky fun! The Flagler Museum Best Adventure: Kennedy Space Center
If you and your family enjoy science and space exploration, the famous space center is a stop that should be included in the itinerary for your Florida road trips. You and your family will be delighted at the chance to experience hands on interaction with NASA launch locations, and, depending on your timing, you may be fortunate enough to watch a live rocket launch. We took the kids here when they were little. They remember the bus tour around the launch center, and of course, astronaut ice cream! Kennedy Space Center Best Historical Site: The Fountain of YouthThis site, located in St. Augustine, Florida, is the perfect complement to Florida road trips for history buffs. Florida tourist info notes that St. Augustine is the place where the Spanish Conquistadors first made landfall in America, and this 15 acre site is home to many archeological finds from this time period.The Fountain of Youth Best Kept Secret: Fort Myers and Sanibel Island's BeachesYour Florida road trips can still include a relaxing day at these beautiful beaches.
