Discover the Hidden Gems of Central Florida: Beyond the Theme Parks

At HotMod Agency, we pride ourselves on curating unforgettable travel experiences for influencers and their audiences. We recently had the pleasure of organizing a campaign that showcased the hidden gems of Central Florida, beyond the famous theme parks. Partnering with Heather, we explored Polk County and uncovered delightful spots that left us enchanted. Here are some highlights of the adventure, perfectly organized by our agency, and why they were loved!

🏕️ Camp Margaritaville Auburndale

Our creator’s visit to Camp Margaritaville in Auburndale was a hit. As fans of the Margaritaville brand, they appreciated the laid-back vibe this location offers. The “cabana cabin” lodging option, perfect for those without an RV, featured a cozy back porch with a serene view of the water. This charming alternative provided the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring.

The family enjoyed the pool and waterslide, and one of the standout conveniences was the restaurant right by the pool. Dining without having to leave the area added to the overall relaxing experience. Plus, doing laundry poolside was an unexpected but welcome perk!

☕️ Black and Brew

Downtown Lakeland is an absolute gem, and our visit to Black and Brew highlighted its charm. This coffee shop offers both indoor and outdoor seating, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The iced vanilla latte was the perfect pick-me-up, and a refreshing Greek yogurt bowl kept the family satisfied until lunch. The picturesque downtown area added to the overall delightful experience.

☀️ Florida Children’s Museum

The Florida Children’s Museum in Lakeland is a must-visit for families, and our campaign showcased its numerous engaging exhibits. This expansive museum boasts mostly indoor activities with a few outdoor attractions as well. The second-floor “little city” was a favorite, where children had a blast shopping for groceries, working at a food truck, running a doctor’s office, and even becoming firemen. It was a joy to watch them immerse themselves in these playful learning experiences

⛳️ The Back Nine Lakeland

For a fun and unique dining experience, The Back Nine in downtown Lakeland was highlighted. This restaurant not only serves delicious food but also features golf simulators in the back. It’s an ideal spot for a date night or a family outing. The relaxed ambiance and the opportunity to combine dining with a bit of golf-themed fun made it a memorable stop.

🐟 Harborside

In Winter Haven, Harborside stood out as a lakefront restaurant offering a peaceful dining experience. The serene lake views provided a tranquil backdrop to the meal. The menu, rich with seafood and steak options, impressed our creator. The snow crab legs were particularly praised, adding to the overall delightful experience.
