Visit Central Florida Welcome Center: starting point for discovering the heart of the state

The Visit Central Florida Welcome Center is an essential resource for those wishing to begin their stay with reliable information, exclusive benefits, and a comprehensive overview of the experiences available in Polk County. Strategically located in Davenport, on Highway 27 and just a few meters from Interstate 4, the center offers specialized publications, maps, coupons, and personalized assistance from Certified Ambassadors of Tourism and Sports (CATS), volunteers recognized for their in-depth knowledge of the region.

The area's natural diversity is one of the county's main attractions. Visitors can access recommendations for kayaking routes through pristine wetlands, cycling trails of varying difficulty, and prime birdwatching spots. The culinary scene is distinguished by local flavors that blend Southern tradition with contemporary farm-to-table offerings, featuring standout establishments that CATS (Central American Travel and Tourism Associations) identify as must-visits within the destination.

The Welcome Center also provides tools to plan each stage of your trip. Among its resources are the new Visit Central Florida Travel Guide and informational materials detailing accommodations, special activities, cultural venues, and recreational options in various locations throughout the county. This service is complemented by the sale of discounted tickets to iconic parks and attractions in the Tampa and Orlando region, including LEGOLAND Florida Resort, Peppa Pig Theme Park, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens Tampa, Gatorland, and the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

Purchasing tickets at the Welcome Center offers competitive advantages: reduced fares, streamlined access via e-tickets in most cases, and the flexibility to use them on later dates, allowing travelers to adjust their itinerary to suit their preferences. With this comprehensive approach, Visit Central Florida solidifies the Welcome Center as a key tool for exploring Polk County, combining expert guidance, helpful services, and savings opportunities.
