We field a lot of questions here at VisitGainesville. Occasionally, we get the ones that have very little -- okay NOTHING -- to do with vacations, attractions, and hotels such as "why didn't I get my newspaper delivered at my house this morning?" or this lulu: "Can you tell me if my best friend's divorce is final yet?"
However, and thankfully, most of our inquiries are smack dab right-on-the-vacation-mark that we can answer with authority and assurance. Modestly, our VisitGainesville site is a comprehensive resource that addresses a number of questions. It includes specific sections such as Attractions detailing things to see and fun places to visit, while the Lodging area efficently directs folks to a list and links of close to 60 hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts.
Ranking high on the most frequently asked list and just beneath "Do you sell postcards?" (we don't, yet) and "Where should we eat dinner tonight?" is the timeless quest for "What fun places can we take our kids while vacationing in Gainesville?"
To greatly assist us in properly answering this question we've recently added the kids experts at Fun4Gatorkids to the VisitGainesville Links. While designed primarily as a resource for Gainesville residents, this informative family fun site sports a great calendar of events and a list of programs that are perfect for vacationing parents searching for educational yet entertaining "can't-do-that-at-home" adventures.
And do need to fret...we have it on very good authority that even though the name is Fun for "GATOR" kids, they welcome, encourage and invite little Bulldogs, Knights, and even `Noles to have fun in Gainesville.
