This weekend, Miami is heating up—not just with sunshine but with the roar of Formula 1 engines as it hosts the Sprint Race! While the city draws global attention, let’s take a closer look at the state it calls home: Florida, a land full of surprises, history, and some pretty wild trivia.

Florida’s wetlands and lakes are full of gators—over a million of them! The Everglades, a massive subtropical wilderness, is their natural playground.

It’s not just home to Disney World, but also Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and more—making it the most magical (and fun-filled) place on Earth.
