Stop by Munn Park. It's one sight you'll usually find on many visitors' must-do lists. Wing Chun Kung Fu Downtown Lakeland and Horney Park are also nearby and worth a detour.

About 45 miles away in St. Petersburg, Salvador Dali Museum lures the masses all year round. Why not plan a visit and find out what all the fuss is about?

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Lakeland?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can do Lakeland without a rental vehicle. But with loads to see and do here, having one would certainly make your escape a whole lot more fun. If you're planning to get out of the city and into the great outdoors, book a vehicle with some power. A full-size or mid-size SUV will take you to the area's coral reefs in style. Spending a lot of your time downtown? A small, economical car is the way to go. Driving through narrow lanes and squeezing into tight parking spots will be a cinch in one of these.
