Some Unusual Sights Throughout Florida

Saturday, November 8th, 2008



Thought we would mention some of the more unusual sights in Florida away from the regular attractions.

Publix Cake Water Tower – If your celebrating a birthday whilst in Florida - drive past the headquarters for the Publix grocery store chain in Lakeland, you will find a water tower in the shape of a giant birthday cake complete with candles that light up at night.

Upside Down House -Located on International Drive this is Central Florida’s only upside down attraction. It really is a head turner, particularly to those not expecting it to be there., inside it is an amusement park for the mind, featuring over 100 interactive exhibits for the entire family to experience. Spook Hill -Whilst visiting Lake Wales in Florida, close to the Bok tower is Spook Hill, one of the many gravity hills or magnetic hills which exist. Here is a place where the layout of the surrounding land produces the optical illusion that a very slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope. Thus, a car left out of gear will appear to be rolling uphill.

Worlds Smallest Police Station -If visiting the North of Florida, located just south of Tallahassee, is the smallest Police Station in the World. Historically when the town did not have a main police station, the police parked their vehicles outside the booth.

Live Mermaids - If you have never seen live mermaids before – pay a visit to Buccaneer Bay water park at Weeki Wachee Springs on the Gulf Coast of Florida. After taking a dip in the water park within the natural spring water, enter the underwater theatre where mermaids regularly perform their show.
