We stumbled across Ormond Beach in 2017 simply looking for a place to stay on our way to Orlando on the beach that was inexpensive. We found a hotel right on the beach that was extremely affordable and fell in love with the community very quickly. Our family enjoy the laid back beach community outside the hustle and bustle of Daytona tourism. You can be a vacationer but feel like a local there. Beach is clean, and people are friendly.

They had a drive-thru “petting zoo” (minus the petting due to social distancing) which was a huge hit with our 17-month-old grandson. With local playgrounds being off limits right now this was the sweetest, socially distant experience. Thank you! Thank you! You made our day! Check their website for dates and times, but when we attended the event it was Fridays and Saturdays in May from 11am to 6pm for a $10 donation. Donations go to the care of the animals.

This former home of J. D. Rockefeller has a very interesting history. The free entry (donations are welcome) is nice, and if you can - call ahead for a guided tour (with the bonus of seeing the third floor). An app for our phone for a self guided tour was available which gave us a nicer experience than just wandering around by providing a narration at individual stations throughout the house. With so much information about J. D. Rockefeller & Standard Oil, and plenty of memorabilia from that era, we easily spent a couple of hours visiting.

Our condo is less than two miles north of ISB and well within walking distance of the shops on the boardwalk. Except a really high tide, the beach is wide with well marked drive lanes.
9. Ormond Memorial Art Museum & Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 109 reviews
We are located on the beachside in Ormond just steps from the Atlantic Ocean. Enjoy the surrounding community and grab a bite at more than eight restaurants. Our art exhibitions change frequently and there is always something new to discover in our lush gardens. If you have more than an hour, sign up for one of our art classes, garden talks or children’s programs! As of October 1st, the Museum building is temporarily CLOSED to the public. The Gardens will remain open and accessible daily, and we will continue to offer art programming and outreach activities virtually and at alternative locations! Our project includes a renovation of our original 1915 and 1946 buildings to retain their exterior charm, and the construction of a two-story building to replace the 1998 addition and create much-needed new square footage. Built on almost the same existing museum footprint, we’ll soon have bigger classrooms, more exhibition space, dedicated meeting and office areas, rooftop terrace & MORE!!

We visited this museum in Ormond Beach with friends. It is small but has plenty of parking. They were having a guest speaker talking about the importance of Bees. Really good and wonderful to hear this topic being covered. The gardens are really pleasant to walk thru with dedication to the Veterans. The art work is only a few rooms but nicely displayed. There was an additional room with crafts from the Elementary school. They were awesome to see each age development. I highly recommend going here.

We've been coming to Daytona Beach every February for the past 13 years and this is always one place we look forward to going to. I'm so sad that dog racing will be over with by the time we come next year. The dogs look so healthy and they are just doing what greyhounds love to do, which is run. Anyway we went 3 times while we were there this year. They have really great food there too & all the employees are friendly & helpful. We recommend the burger & fries, along with a beer of course.
