We attended the 10 am service at this church a couple of weeks ago. The service lasts an hour or so, and followed the provided pamphlet. It was probably the most comfortable church service that I've attended. As, we were in Daytona camping, and we were able to get up and go to church with little to no fuss. Because you can stay in your vehicle, dress/make-up/hair is not an issue. They've also got a small seating area inside what looks to have once been a concession stand. Oh, and they serve donuts and coffee as well. I liked the idea of their current fundraiser with the personalized bricks for the walkway. However, at $125.00 per brick, I found the cost outrageous. Consider lowering the price of a brick, and you may find that you'll attract more donors? Overall, I would totally recommend a Sunday morning visit.
3. Dunlawton Sugar Mill Gardens

Gardens where you can watch butterflies and learn more about flora and fauna native to Florida. Trails leading past a preserved 19th century sugar mill ruins and statues of dinosaurs.
Reviewed By Jerry B - Branson, Missouri
The historical ruins of the old sugar processing plant are in place with signs noting who owned this place back to the 1800's, peoples dreams shattered, and the county did a quality job constructing a walkway and covered building to preserve the artifacts. It's like you're walking over a "dig". Next, some visionary set about to make it an amusement park with dinosaurs constructed of concrete back in the early 50's. Well done. Unfortunately he was ahead of his time. Walt Disney beat him to the idea later. Next you'll be amazed by the gigantic oak trees moss covered. Just a peaceful place to get away for awhile. Close to Daytona. Kids will love the dinosaurs.

Welcome to the premier Escape Room in Daytona Beach! The Daytona Escape Room Experience is the first real-life escape game in Daytona. It is a uniquely fun, team building, brain testing experience!

It's all about being observan

A nice place to spend the day but a bit pricey . A must is the tour of the track and pit area . The gift shop is huge and covers all the drivers worth spending a few hours

I am not a big NASCAR fan, but this place is pretty awesome! To consider the skill of driving at such speeds and the engineering and mechanics required to keep it relatively safe, it sure earns my respect.
I know people have their favorite drivers but remember this is the King himself - King Richard!!!!

Beautiful park with interesting history. The pond with a fountain, walking path, and boardwalk is also the site where an eremotherium giant ground sloth remains was discovered. The nearly 14-foot specimen is on display at the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Daytona Beach. The skeleton is the best preserved and most complete fossil of its species in North America.
Now the pond is used for rc boat races and feeding turtles. Nice area to walk your dog away from traffic. The topography of the disc golf course is spectacular with its super tall palm trees. Great park for photos. Also has new restroom facilities, playground, and picnic pavilion. All for the low, low price of FREE! Excellent place to spend a couple hours. Highly recommended!

Wow, 1,000,000 gulls! Not an exaggeration - the Gull Fly-in field trip from the Space Coast Birding Festival observed this specatacle that happens every winter and always features at least well over 100,000 gulls of several species each evening before dusk when the gulls go to roost on the ocean. This park is a great access point for viewing the gulls. Beach driving is permitted here, although very slowly. Safe, clean, free parking and rest rooms.

Reviewed By MENemier - Port Orange, Florida
Port Orange has done a great job of creating a very attractive and enjoyable municipal center for residents. Well laid out, includes library and other city organizations. Generally adequate parking but a little spread out due to reflecting pool in the center of the area. Nicely landscaped, very shady with lots of natural Florida plants & trees.
