Holidays in Kissimmee

Destination information

Did you know that Kissimmee is home to the world’s tallest Sky Coaster standing at a staggering 300ft high? This is the ultimate thrill ride and not for the faint hearted, so be warned! It’s not all about thrill rides though, as Kissimmee is the nearest thing Orlando has to authentic America. Home to cattle ranchers and rodeos, so if you fancy wearing a cowboy hat and boots, you’ll feel right at home! Kissimmee’s location is second to none; Walt Disney World Resort is right on its doorstep, making it a fantastic choice for those wanting a small-town atmosphere with big-time amenities.

In the Old Town, you’ll find Happy Days Family Fun Track and Amusement Centre with its Ferris wheel, bumper cars and bungee jump. There’s also Grimm’s Haunted House with live actors, special effects, a wax museum and the creepy Tower of London experience. Take the kids to Green Meadows Petting Farm with 300 farm animals and pony rides!
Eating Out

In the mood for seafood? Got a craving for barbecue? Or maybe you’re looking for candlelight and romance. Whatever tickles your taste buds you’ll be spoilt for choice in Kissimmee! There’s American, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Italian and lots of chains that the USA is famous for, TGI Friday’s®, Burger King, Outback Steakhouse and many more.
Evening Entertainment

For some adrenaline-filled fun, head down to the Silver Spurs Arena and catch a rodeo event. If you’re a petrol head, you’ll love the weekly classic car cruise down the streets of Old Town. Or perhaps you’re hungry and fancy taking in one of the many themed dinner shows on offer. Whatever you fancy, there’s plenty to keep you entertained in Kissimmee.
Not to be missed
Kissimmee is well known for its smaller, one-of-a-kind shops where you’ll find some real gems. The shopping centre of Belz Factory Outlet is worth a visit. If museums are more your thing, then the Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Air Museum is a must see. For thrill seekers, make sure you take a ride on the world’s tallest sky coaster standing at 300ft tall, we dare you!

Non drivers

We understand that even in the land that invented the automobile, not everyone likes to drive, so why not take our convenient FREE transfer coach from the airport to any hotel in the Kissimmee area*.
*We regret our transfer coaches cannot drop off at the Fantasy World Club Villas, Villas of Somerset & Laguna Bay or the Oak Plantation Villas.

Please see the individual hotel descriptions for their proximity to restaurants and bars. Many offer FREE scheduled transport to the parks.

For a perfect hassle-free way to explore your surroundings hop on a lynx bus. Running every 30 min up and down Highway 192, these colourful, comfortable buses provide a great service. Alternatively, see a member of our resort team in Orlando and they can arrange any number of great value transfer vouchers to take you between your hotel and all the attractions you want to visit.
