We have seen the Visit Central Florida posts on our Facebook feed for years. Recently we had a chance to visit the actual Visit Central Florida Visitor's Center itself. We discovered the rustic brown visitor information center just off Highway 27 in Davenport.

Recently we had an opportunity to go out of state and the "Welcome to Florida" sign is something we anticipate. As always, we stopped in at the Florida Visitor's Center. This time it was The Joseph O. Striska Official Welcome Center located on I-75 in beautiful Hamilton County.
