1. Falling Waters State Park, Chipley www.floridastateparks.org This beautiful state park is home to Florida's biggest waterfall. When conditions are right, water rushes 73 feet down the side of this sinkhole. Call the park before visiting to check on the status of the waterfall, or you might find it at just a trickle.

2. Dry Tortugas National Park, Key West Flickr/Jenni Konrad This national park is home to Fort Jefferson, which is unfinished, but still the Western Hemisphere's largest masonry structure. Visitors to this park enjoy snorkeling, kayaking, and touring the old fort.

3. Solomon's Castle, Ona Flickr/Sam Howzit This castle was created by a single man using reclaimed materials, to serve as his home and art gallery. It's not the easisest place to find, but the artist's creativity and sense of humor make it worth a day trip.

4. Dinosaur World, Plant City Facebook/Dinosaur World, Florida We're willing to bet that you probably know a child or child at heart who would love a trip to this incredible park located between Tampa and Orlando, stocked with over 200 life-sized dinosaur sculptures and other related activities.

5. The Old Spanish Sugar Mill Grill and Griddle, De Leon Springs State Park Flickr/John Wood One of Florida's coolest breakfast spots is located inside of this state park. The old sugar mill is now used to grind fresh flour, creating the perfect pancake batter. Even better, guests pour their own pancakes on griddles set into the tables.

6. Devil's Den, Williston Shanna Chatraw via Flickr/Florida Fish and Wildlife Devil's Den has an ethereal beauty that reminds you how lucky we are to live in our state. This unique prehistoric spring is covered by a karst window that lets in a stream of sunlight, like a spotlight into the clear, blue water below. Visitors must be scuba diving or snorkeling to explore here.

7. Coral Castle, Homestead Flickr/lancearoundorlando Looking at this quirky historic landmark, you would never guess that these monolithic structures were sourced, moved and carved by a single man. Explore the castle and ponder the mysteries of its construction.

8. Sweet Pete's, Jacksonville Facebook/Sweet Pete's Candy This massive 23,000-square-foot candy store, factory and restaurant is located in a beautiful historic building in downtown Jacksonville. With ice cream, baked goods, and over 1,000 kinds of candy, this may be the closest you ever get to visiting a real-life Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

9. Ravine Gardens State Park, Palatka Flickr/Sandy Auriene Sullivan Florida is known for being primarily flat, but this park in North Florida actually has some stunning natural ravines that reach depths of 120 feet. The park features gardens, trails, and even two historic pedestrian suspension bridges.

10. Bob's Train, Sarasota TripAdvisor/ErinSRQ This restaurant in Sarasota is like no other. It's housed in old train cars that were once used in the Ringling circus, which made Sarasota its winter home for many years. The owner, Bob, doesn't just prepare delicious meals, he also loves discussing all kinds of circus history with guests.

11. St. Augustine's Nights of Lights Flickr/Mike Gigante Every Floridian should see our oldest city dressed up in millions of lights for this yearly festival at least once. Luckily, it lasts through the end of January, so you still have time to check it out.

12. O'Steen's Restaurant, St. Augustine TripAdvisor/sln64 While you're in St. Augustine, stop by O'Steen's Restaurant. We featured this longstanding locally owned restaurant earlier this year as the place to go for the best fried shrimp in Florida. You can expect to wait in line, but you won't be disappointed.

13. Lodge at Wakulla Springs, Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park Alicia Wellman via Flickr/Florida Fish and Wildlife This historic 1930s lodge is a special piece of Old Florida, with the spectacular design of the lodge and natural beauty of the springs combining to create the perfect getaway.
