Discovery cove



Discovery cove was other place i went to while on my holiday. It was a brilliant place to go to because its not a theme park that has rides but a place where you can relax and swim dolphins.I got to swim with a dolphin it was a great experience which i will never forget. I went snorkeling around the water ways which was fun to do.I also got to see a lot of animals like string rays, birds and of course the dolphins too. Discovery cove is a place i would reccommend to anybody who is thinking of going on holiday to Florida because it really once in a life time experience.

Universal Studios Florida


Universal  Studios was one of the theme parks i went to. It had a lot of cool rides there like Jaws, Twister, Earth quake , Shrek 4D and Back to the Future. Outside the back to the future ride there was the real car and train that where used in the movie and i had my photo taken beside the car. Sadly the back to the future has now closed down. If i ever get to go back to Florida i would deffinitely go back to Universal Studios.I also went to Islands of Adventure which is part of Universal Orlando Resort.

Kennedy Space Centre


Kennedy Space Centre

Kennedy Space Center was one of the places i went to when i was on holiday in Florida. It's a great place to visit. It is a very interesting place because it is where all the space rockets get launched from and there is a lot of things to look at. You get to see the launch pad where the rocket blast of from and you can stand under rocket model. There is a lot models of the high tech gadgets that NASA uses for their space missions. All i can say if your a big sci fi fan or if are just interested in learning about what NASA does then i think Kennedy Space Center is the place to visit because it has a lot of things to look at and there is also a bus tour which takes you around all the of  Kennedy Space Center. Now i am going to talk a little bit more about the space centre.
