Guide to Kissimmee

A little quieter and more spread out than I-Drive, Kissimmee is closer to the Walt Disney World Resort and has all the shops and eating places you could ever need.

If you want to make your money go further, yet still have the buzz of the theme parks close at hand, then Kissimmee offers shops, shows and plenty of nightlife at prices that won't break the bank. Follow the Orange Blossom Trail from Orlando, and you'll come to this chilled out and very laid-back town. Ideally situated for all central Florida's attractions, this is 'small-town USA', with its authentic wood-fronted stores and tree-lined sidewalks. Walk down Kissimmee's main street to find several large shopping malls or if you're in the mood for something a little different, make for the Old Town Mall, which recreates the ambiance of a 19th century village, complete with quirky speciality shops and for children, a spooky haunted house and a small, antique fairground. If you need a breather from shops, spills and thrills, grab some fresh air and go horse riding, fishing or join us on an airboat safari on one of Kissimmee's lakes or waterways.

Kissimmee Old Town

Authentic wood-fronted stores and tree-lined sidewalks create 'Small-town USA' in Kissimmee. The ferris wheel and merry-go-round add to this quaint image of a bygone world. Come here during the day or evening for a relaxing break from the hectic pace of the theme parks.

Kissimmee Old Town is Florida's highest ranked free admission attraction featuring 8 restaurants, 70 shops and 18 amusement rides. Every Friday and Saturday the place comes alive with classic car shows.

Arabian Nights
