North Central Florida's Best-Kept Summer Secret

Within 45 minutes of Waldo MX, your family has access to crystal-clear springs that hold 68°F year-round, wild bison roaming open prairies, zoologist-guided wildlife encounters, and a historic 1881 paddle canal right next door — plus one of the best motocross tracks in the Southeast sitting in your own backyard.

We built the Florida Americana Summer Escape for families who want a real week. Morning on the track or on the water. Afternoon somewhere new. Night around a fire ring. We hand you the full itinerary at check-in. You just show up.
