Kissimmee is the nearest thing Orlando has to authentic America! It's also incredibly close to the WALT DISNEY theme parks, making it a fantastic choice for those wanting to combine a small-town atmosphere with big-time amenities! Home to cattle ranchers and rodeos, you don't have to wear a cowboy hat or boots, but you'll feel right at home if you do!

Just a short drive in any direction takes you to an exciting one-day adventure. Head for the beautiful white sand beaches and gentle Gulf waters of Florida´s west coast, about 90 miles away. The sun-drenched Atlantic beaches are even closer – perfect for a day of fun in the surf. Blast off for a tour of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, or experience the rolling hills and fresh water springs of the Ocala National Forest. It´s all within your reach when you stay in Kissimmee.

The Kissimmee area is rich with history and culture. Explore a turn-of-the-century Florida "Cracker" house and authentic cow hunter´s camp at the Osceola County Historical Society and Pioneer Museum. Here you´ll discover the people, places and events that shaped the area. Experience what life was like yesterday and even still today by touring one of the area´s working cattle ranches. Or join in the heart pounding excitement and foot stomping action that comes with a front row seat at the rodeo.
