Walt Disney World and Universal Studios get most of the attention, but Central Florida is home to a remarkable range of world-class attractions that Northeast Florida visitors can easily reach by private car. SeaWorld Orlando, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, and Busch Gardens Tampa are all within 2 to 3 hours of St. Augustine.

Kennedy Space Center: A Unique Day Trip
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex on Merritt Island is one of Florida's most underrated attractions — and at 100 miles from St. Augustine, it's actually closer than Disney World. The complex offers real NASA spacecraft, the Atlantis shuttle exhibit, bus tours of the launch pads, and live rocket launch viewing opportunities. We recommend checking the launch schedule before booking your transfer.
Busch Gardens Tampa: Worth the Extra Distance
Busch Gardens Tampa is 175 miles from St. Augustine — about a 2 hour 45 minute drive — but it offers a unique combination of thrill rides and a genuine zoo experience that Disney and Universal don't replicate. For families with animal lovers and coaster enthusiasts, it's a highly recommended day trip.
