Top 10 Things to do in Davenport, Florida (FL)
Davenport is a vacation destination in north eastern Polk County that is popular because of its close proximity to the Walt Disney World theme park. While small in size, the town is experiencing rapid growth. Most Davenport tourists stay in this town and spend their time at the major theme parks outside Orlando. However, Davenport has its own attractions that should not be missed. Visit Lake Kissimmee State Park and partake in nature trails, horse trails, and boating activities. Play a round on one of Davenport’s two large golf courses: the Highlands Reserve Golf Club and the Ridgewood Lakes Golf & Country Club. You will have access to many restaurants near your vacation rental. Davenport offers a variety of fast food options and chains, as well as several great local establishments. The Davenport Cafe is perfect for lunch, as is Camille’s Sidewalk Cafe. Try the Bob Evans Restaurant for the best American cuisine, or visit Zen Asian Grill for Asian and Chinese foods. For dinner on a budget, visit The Shamrock Pub and Grille. Don’t head back too early—there are many great bars and pubs in Davenport. Try the Tuscana Tavern or The Pub for a relaxing drink. The 11th Street Bar & Grill is a pub and a restaurant combined, so be sure to check it out on nights when you want food and entertainment in one place. Other popular bars include the Happy Hollow Tavern and Boozies Bar & Grill. There are several large shopping centers right outside Davenport in Orlando, Tampa, and Kissimmee. Visit Posner Commons for stores such as Dick’s Sporting Goods, JCPenney, and more. Most of the shopping centers have food courts as well, so they’re a convenient way to spend the day away.

Diane is fabulous, the best! So friendly and personable, knowledgeable, and I really enjoy being her client. The other young lady (Jasmine?) is great with mani/pedis as well. Lily is the best massage therapist as well, very knowledgeable about massage and how to help yourself with aches and pains in-between massages. Love the atmosphere at Cenote. Highly recommend!!! I even have included Cenote in my welcome book at my vacation rental property so our guests can enjoy it as well.

Timi and his wife Liz are super friendly and knowledgeable. It makes sense when you find out just how much circus experience Timi has. He has worked everywhere and with everyone and is easily one of the top circus rosin back riders of all time. Prices for circus riding is super fair and access to this artform is difficult to find in general, not just due to the exclusivity of it but also because there are so few trained artists with trained horses. The specialized equipment and a ring with a mechanic by itself is rare to come by. If you ever had interest in learning about this most classic of all circus acts and/or even wish to try it out yourself, I highly recommend you give Timi and Liz a call.

We were on vacation nearby and decided to go to see a movie one afternoon. We had been given a pair of tickets to AMC theaters so we looked for the closest AMC theater. This was it. We went to an early afternoon showing so I don't know how crowded it would be in the evening, but we had our choice of seats. The employees were very friendly. The restrooms were very clean. It was a great experience.
