Thanks to the internet, being isolated at home doesn't mean you have to forgo experiencing some of Florida's natural wonders and theme parks.
As the coronavirus pandemic has much of the world stuck at home, many parks and attractions have closed their doors to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Luckily, many of these places in Florida have ways for people to take tours virtually.
Here are just some to check out:
Dry Tortugas National Park
One of the most secluded national parks in the world is right here in Florida off the Keys. The online tour lets you see the 100-square-mile park that's normally only accessible by seaplane or boat.
Everglades National Park
The largest subtropical wilderness in the country is also a World Heritage Site. The Everglades is what many first think of when they think of Florida wilderness, as it is home to species like manatees, alligators, American crocodiles and rare Florida panthers.
You can tour the famous park through Google Earth.
Kennedy Space Center
Head to Florida's Space Coast at Kennedy Space Center and you can get up close to rockets from historic NASA programs like Mercury, Gemini and Apollo.

Salvador Dali Museum

Castillo de San Marcos National Monument
The oldest city in the U.S. also has the oldest masonry fort from the 17th century still standing. It has weathered many battles and sieges over the years since the later 1600s and was designated a national monument in 1924.
Full of rich Florida history, it also offers stunning views of St. Augustine and the Matanzas River. Take a virtual tour of the site thanks to a research grant with the University of South Florida Libraries and the National Park Service.
