The Sanford Riverwalk goes along the shore of Lake Monroe for two paved miles for bike riding or walking. It connects to downtown Sanford with its historic architecture and many shops and restaurants. It also goes past the marina and weaves its way to Fort Mellon Park, a gathering place with a fountain, splash park, picnic facilities, baseball fields, and a basketball court.

The Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens is 116 acres with over 400 species of animals that's been open since 1923. There's a carousel, a small train, a splash park, and kids can feed rhinos and giraffes. The Christmas season is ushered in by the Asian Lantern Festival, an LED-light display that features traditional seasonal and Asian motifs and a 200-foot dragon.

Lake Jessup Park is a boat launch into the wilderness area of Lake Jessup, which has available airboat tours to see all kinds of Florida wildlife including alligators, bald eagles, and turtles. Lake Jessup is over 100,000 years old and home to over 10,000 alligators, the largest concentration in a single lake in the United States.

Blue Spring State Park on the St. John's River is the winter home of giant manatees from November through March, with campgrounds, hiking trails, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. There's a 4-mile trail through a cypress swamp for visitors to enjoy.

The Lower Wekiva River State Preserve is a 10,000-acre wildlife preserve with hiking, horseback backpacking, camping, or canoe access.

The new stadium was built in 1951, and renovated in the 2000s, and served as a spring training facility for teams from New York and Boston. Now it's often used as a community facility, hosting tournaments and traveling teams.

The Daytona International Speedway is just 35 miles away, where visitors come to enjoy sportscar racing, karting, and the famous Daytona 500, a NASCAR race that draws fans from all over the country.

Orlando and its many theme parks are close enough that visitors can stay in Sanford for a fraction of the price if you don't mind a short drive to get there every day.
