Welcome to Friday! Here are five free things to do in Florida:
1. Visit Florida Southern College, Lakeland. Enthusiasts of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture will see several buildings designed by the famous architect. After, you can walk along the adjacent Lake Hollingsworth. Guided tours cost $15 for adults, but you can take a free self-guided tour of the Child of the Sun Visitor Center.
2. The Dinosaur Store, Cocoa Beach. It's a gift shop for sure. But it's an interesting place to look around to see fossils and unique items. It's almost like a museum. The store has an adventure zone in the back for kids, but that costs money. You don't have to visit the adventure zone to enjoy looking at this unique store.
3. While in Cocoa Beach, check out the famous Ron Jon Surf Shop. It's two floors of beach, surf and souvenirs. It's free to look around.
4. Ron's Miniature Shop, 751 W. Colonial Drive, Orlando. A fun place to see dollhouse displays and everything you need to furnish one. Warning: Many of these items are breakable. Watch children when visiting.
5. The Airport. My dad would be so pleased. Yeah, it may seem hokey, but the airports in Tampa and Orlando are more than just a place to catch a flight. They're filled with little shops, exhibits and plenty of opportunities for people-watching. Security won't let you get close to the gates, but the airport is still a cool place to spend a few hours. Granted, this one isn't completely free -- you still have to pay for parking.
