Review by Bryan Newman for Frommer’s Florida with Your Family: From Theme Park Fun to Sunny Beach Getaways (Frommers With Your Family Series)
Rating:
This is a decent little book, but since it covers the entire state, it
needs to stick to the main attractions and does not got too deep into
any location. There will be just a couple of recommendations for
restaurants for example, and attractions like Gatorland are missing from
the Orlando coverage.
Quality: This book seems a little more glossy than the run of the mill
Frommer’s book and it did an excellent job when I was flipping through
and showing my seven year old possible things we could do while on our
vacation. It is not crammed with photos, but it has enough to make page
flipping worthwhile.
Coverage: Since my son is into nature and fossil collection, we needed a
lot more resources to find a fossil expedition and specific nature
stops. Also, since our trip was mainly concentrating on the southwest
coast, the other 3/4ths of the book did not help much. And as stated
above, there were not a whole lot of different options, this is a pretty
general book possibly because the targeted audience are British
vacationers focusing on Disney and Universal theme parks. The travel
information was decent, although quaintly British again.
British thing: Forgive me if I am missing something about Frommers, but
this book is strongly aimed at the British visitor to Florida. For the
most part this is no problem as long as you can get over hire car
instead of rental car or the idea of “liquified baby food,” But there is
a decidedly British tilt to attraction selection as well, for example
biplane rides for kids with Biggles fascination. Very few kids on this
side of the pond have any idea what Biggles is about. The book does not
say it is written for Brits but it seems to have been. (Even tells you
where you can get British newspapers.) It still worked for us as a very
high level overview of Florida, but to match our families interests, we
had to go other places as well.
Overall impression: Decent book, but light on specifics or depth of
choices. If you are looking for off the beaten track options you might
want
