This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Ocala/Marion County VCB. All opinions are 100% mine.

Fall is finally here in Florida, and I, for one, am more than happy about it. As much as I love summer, the heat can be overwhelming, which is why I avoid some of my favorite outdoor activity until the temperatures drop.

Right now I’m planning some fun activities for my family to do together this season in Ocala/Marion County, and I wanted to share them with you.

If you live in Florida or are planning a trip here soon, you’ll want to take note because this list features some of the sunshine state’s best-kept secrets.
