Review:
People who love horses should visit Ocala, otherwise known as horse country, in north-central Florida. Ocala has been the backdrop for several Hollywood movies due to its Spanish moss-covered trees, old Southern homes. Silver Springs, a national landmark, is near Ocala and was considered the state’s first attraction.
Visitors to Ocala can explore the Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing, go golfing, and enjoy other outdoor recreation activities including paddling or ziplining in the canyon. Grand Oaks Resort and Museum is another great place to stay that is also a special events venue.
