Winter Park Florida

Amtrak - what a fun way to travel! A lot of people don’t realize how easy and affordable it is to transport your grandkid from his place to yours (and BACK HOME) – and SAVE GAS money! We discovered this option a couple of years ago and thought we’d share it with you. Lucky for us our grands live near enough a rail station to take advantage of this for a summer visit!

We have also opted to ride the rails ourselves, spending the night in a nice hotel near the train station, exploring the destination, and hopping the train home the next day! So what about taking a holiday trip now to visit Winter Park, Florida?

When you arrive at the Amtrak, Winter Park station, a great nearby hotel (walking distance) is the Park Plaza right on Park Avenue. Also nearby is the Best Western Mount Vernon Inn.

In the Winter Park, Florida area you’ll find Morse Museum of American Art, Rollins College, Park Avenue shopping and restaurants (of course), Hannibal Square, Cornell Fine Arts Museum and Full Sail Real World Education (University), Polasek Museum and Garden (American sculpture museum) and much much more.

Hear that whistle blowing!
