In the Everglades atrium, visit two popular exhibits at Sawgrass Place, a themed "backwaters" homestead. See four species of non-venomous Florida snakes securely displayed within swamp-themed habitats. Then, look for a family of baby alligators, known as "grunts." See one of these hatchlings up close on Monday, Wednesday and Friday right after the Key West fish feedings.
In the St. Augustine atrium, find 15 juvenile alligators and 30 species of native turtles in a habitat reminiscent of Florida's natural springs. Watch alligator feedings and learn about the species from GATORLAND 
at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday and Saturday. Time is subject to change.
Watch native marine species such as mangrove snappers, redfish, snook, stingrays and tarpon in our 161,000-gallon Key West lagoon. It's the largest known Euryhaline exhibit of its type - where saltwater fish are acclimated to a relatively low salinity habitat.
See Bottled Ocean specialists host interactive fish feedings at 1 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday while you're sightseeing in Kissimmee.
Reminiscent of Old Florida, the architectural backdrop for Emerald Plaza evokes the style of Henry Flagler, the visionary entrepreneur who made St. Augustine a popular destination. Enjoy the Mediterranean revival style found in distinctive turn-of-the-century hotels such as The Alcazar and The Ponce de Leon while you are sightseeing in Kissimmee. A bell tower stands guard over the atrium, as it still does today at Flagler College in St. Augustine.
Inside the Castillo de San Marcos, see the "Treasures of the Nuestra Señora de Atocha" museum display. The Spanish galleon Atocha was believed to have been lost in 1622 off the Matecumbe Keys of Florida. These spectacular golden artifacts were discovered in 1985 by Mel Fisher and reported to be one of the United States' richest treasure excavations.
The St. Augustine atrium features a small-scale replica of Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest fort in North America. Designers studied the ruins of the original, built by Spain in 1672 in what is now St. Augustine, to emulate its mysterious, romantic aura.
To celebrate an art form practiced on beaches from Miami to Florida's Emerald Coast, Gaylord Palms Resort features an ever-changing exhibition of sand sculptures that can be easily toured while in Kissimmee. The sand displays in the Key West atrium were created from two tons of sand.
Fish species including koi, bluegill, tilapia, gar, pacu, catfish and oscar glide through our indoor waterways. Take a Kissimmee tour of all of Gaylord Palms Resort's 360,000 gallons of water harboring aquatic life.
The lush Florida Everglades come to life under our signature glass atrium. Stroll up a rugged wooden walkway over misty bogs toward Old Hickory, our steakhouse retreat. Mysterious symphonic songs of nature greet you as you cross through majestic cypress trees.
In the Everglades area, you'll find our luxurious 20,000-square-foot Relâche Spa and Salon. Here you'll encounter an elegant, peaceful atmosphere with full-service treatment rooms as well as sauna and steam rooms.
Soak up the Florida sun outside at the South Beach Pool and Cypress Springs Family Fun Water Park. Add these stops to your Kissimmee sightseeing adventure.
The Spanish Renaissance architecture of Emerald Bay graces this most lavish area of the resort. You'll find 362 magnificent guest rooms and 26 luxurious suites, a "hotel within a hotel" offering the comforts of a luxurious private residence. Exclusive meeting facilities provide opulent amenities, perfect for executive events.
While taking a Kissimmee tour from Emerald Bay toward the convention center, you'll pass through the quaint cobblestone street of Market Square, where you can shop exciting boutiques. Enjoy a treat at Häagen-Dazs Ice Cream Shoppe, or stop by Java Coast for a delicious cup of coffee and on-the-go bistro fare.
The cobblestone streets of St. Augustine take you into a land steeped in history during your Kissimmee sightseeing adventures. The Spanish architecture recalls a romantic view of Florida, as seen through the eyes of explorers such as Ponce de Leon.
A replica of the Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest Spanish fort in the New World, displays treasures from the Spanish ship Atocha, discovered by Mel Fisher after a 16-year search. This magnificent fort stands guard in the enormous lobby featuring our fabulous Wedding Gazebo, Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth, the magnificent kitchen of the Villa de Flora and hip and stylish SORA, serving sushi with a South Beach flair.
Our Key West atrium brings the festive, free-spirited style of the islands indoors. Take a Kissimmee tour along the wharf as you marvel at The S.S. Gaylord, a 60-foot schooner and our 161,000-gallon Key West Lagoon, home to native marine species such as Mangrove Snapper, redfish, Snook, stingrays and Tarpon.
