Daytona International Speedway

This racetrack is best known for being the home of the famed Daytona 500, the most prestigious race in NASCAR. Racing fans are known for favoring a festive atmosphere, and the Speedway provides it: visitors can take in the action from the “Budweiser Party Porch,” which offers food and drink and an unobstructed view of the track. Below the porch, kids big and little can take a break from the action with amusement rides and a go-kart track. While the Daytona 500 only happens once a year, there’s usually some race taking place, and it’s not always cars: it’s worth it to find out what’s going on when you’re in the area.

Water Activities

Daytona Beach

Daytona Beach offers visitors more than 23 miles of pristine white, sandy beaches hugging the bright blue Atlantic Ocean. Access to all the beaches is free, and there are even some designated areas where you can take your car for a spin! Those with disabilities appreciate the accessibility of the beaches and the unique “surf chairs” that can be borrowed at no cost.
Daytona Lagoon Water Park

Kids of all ages flock to the enormous Daytona Lagoon. And they should; there’s a little something to keep everyone in the family having a great time. Is the lazy river your speed, or do you prefer a thrilling plunge on Blackbeard’s Revenge? If even the Wave Pool can’t convince you to get your toes wet, perhaps you’d prefer some go-kart fun, laser tag, a rock wall, an arcade or mini golf. Whichever you fancy, slap on some sunscreen and head to this mecca of fun!
