De Leon Springs

You can find this place 30-45 minutes north of Orlando, Florida. It’s a constant 72 degrees Fahrenheit all throughout the year. The food options are a concession stand that sells burger hotdogs and the works, but also a Sugar Mill, where you and your family cook you own food and unlimited pancakes. Highly recommend going but be wary of the wait time.
