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.

We found this place to be interesting. I liked that we could drive around most of the park, even though we did prefer to walk. We're hikers from Pennsylvania and discovered this state park while on vacation, we didn't exactly plan on hiking while in FL, but could resist the opportunity either, so we really weren't prepared with clothing/footwear and bug spray. We had a great experience until we attempted to hike the nature trail. We took just a few steps onto the trail and were swarmed by mosquitoes. We retreated. That was the only place we had an issue with mosquitoes, all other areas of the park were fine. We saw gator tracks, belly and tail drag marks but no actual gators. The park store was not open due to current COVID situations, so kayak and canoe rentals were off the table. But all in all, we went to spend the day with nature and that's what we did. We'd visit again... next time we'll bring bug spray!

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.

We drove down from St. Augustine to visit Bulow Creek State Park. The Fairchild Oak is impressive and awe-inspiring. The images online don't really do the tree justice! It is huge! Overall, the park is nice and well-maintained. We hiked a few of the trails and they were in good shape. We visited in late November so the weather was cool. I would think mosquitoes would be terrible on the trails in warmer weather - would probably need insect repellent. A great place to see the natural beauty of Florida and have a picnic.
6. 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.

This is a great little drive when you are in the area. This scenic loop is what old florida looked like, the trees, marshes, winding road under a tree canopy, birds and local fishermen. Homes spot the area. Part of this road is inside the tomoka state park, so it is protected.

My brother and I visited Rockefeller Gardens on a Sunday evening in late January 2020. The sunset was magnificent, and this is a great place to watch the sunset. The grounds are beautiful and there is a very nice view in all directions. And when you look east, away from the waterfront, you see The Casements historic building. We are so glad we found this lovely park.

This old garage has some history although it is a remake of the original place. Now a brewery and restaurant. Good beer and good food! I had a grilled chicken cesar salad and my friend had the fish and chips. I also tried the sweet tater tots with syrup and ketchup on the side- they were really good. If you are in the area, it's a nice place to stop. Check the address on your GPS.

A 150-acre site featuring a Harley-Davidson dealership, motorcycle museum, restaurants, hotels and retail stores.
Reviewed By Cher1999 - Portland, United States
Whoever thought this “Destination Daytona” concept was brilliant. This is like a little village, with a large Harley Davidson dealer and a Harley Davidson outlet store, (kinda cool huh?), there are a couple places to eat, a large, I mean tractor trailer large, pig smoker for apparently very large pig roasts, there are places for bands, an ice cream stand, a few other merchants and wha5 I believe is a hotel and someone said a camping are, I can’t verify the camping but you could call if interested. I really liked pulling in and having everything contained, right? What more can you ask for, well maybe a coffee shop :). They have a few things that are awesome for photo opts, a large andirondack chair, and what looks like a sand castle Harley Davidson sign. The dealership is huge offering a lot of biker clothing for the entire family, parts and service, display of older classic Harley bikes, old Panhead my favorite and of course New Harley’s are stocked. It is the place to be during bike week. Even if you don’t ride, it’s worth stopping, it’s a pretty cool place. I think we need one the State of Maine. Destination LA we could call it. Have fun, Daytona|Ormond Beach is one of my favorite places to be.
