We encourage you to walk around Downtown Sanford and stop in the small businesses that are scattered around! Katie's parents owned their pharmacy on First Street for over 40 years and Katie spent plenty of time playing in the park across the street which is a great place to bring the little ones! You can also wander along Lake Monroe on miles of paved and accessible paths!
Great little zoo and botanical garden with a fun adventure zipline course for the big kids. The zoo is right in town and easy to get to for those staying in or around Sanford. Katie's favorite summer camp as a kid was going to zoo camp here.
This wilderness park is close to Katie's parents home and has a 7.1 mile loop that offers a great chance to see Florida wildlife!
You must go to a Florida spring while you are in town! Blue Springs is home to over 700 manatees that winter in the 72-degree waters. You can kayak along the crystal clear water or wander along the hiking trails beneath old Florida woods.
Fun escape room located in Downtown Sanford and close to all of the other festivities!
If you are looking to have a beach day while in Florida, NSB is the BEST local beach town and where Katie grew up going. Must Eats: Mon Delice, JB's Fish Camp, and Frozen Gold
