Site

Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park is a 58,000-acre expanse of open Florida prairie, and in 2016 it became Florida's first Dark Sky Park — by far the state's darkest and flattest place to see the stars.

Drive from Toronto: Off NW 192nd Ave near Okeechobee, FL, in central Florida's interior.

Best time of year: Dry season (November–April) brings clearer, less humid night skies; the park offers after-hours access options for stargazers.
