There are plenty of things to see and do when visiting or living in the Ocala area.
One of my favorite travel bloggers put together this video with his top choices for things to do in Ocala, and I thought many of you would find it valuable:
A few of the places mentioned in this video:
- The Fort King Historic Site – a replica wooden fort that commemorates the Seminole War, with a small museum and an archaeology resource center showcasing artifacts and offering information on how the fort was recreated.
- Shalom Park – a serene 44-acre oasis of introspection and meditation with native plants, tribute benches, and walking trails, as well as hosting weddings, concerts, and educational events
- Cindy Dunlow's Flamingo Museum – see her personal collection of over a thousand flamingo-related items, including stuffed animals, ceramic figures, and a flamingo toilet seat, but note that most items are not for sale.
- Silver Springs – a popular tourist attraction since the 1860s, featuring the largest artesian spring in the world and activities such as glass-bottom boat tours, bicycling, canoeing, kayaking, camping, and wildlife viewing.
- Historic downtown Ocala – offers an eclectic mix of shops, eateries, and galleries housed in 19th-century brick buildings.
- The Appleton Museum of Art, Tuscawilla Art Park, and more.
