Fair at Fenway South at Jetblue Stadium, Fort Myers

Every year, families flock to the Fair at Fenway South for two weekends of classic fair fun. Carnival rides—a ferris wheel, merry-go-round, and Zipper, for instance—sprawl across the grounds, and a petting zoo attracts families with young kids. The fair's entertainment includes a lion and tiger act, as well as the Lance Gifford Illusion Show. But the biggest draw might be the Fearless Flores Thrill Show, which features the daredevil family that appeared on America's Got Talent riding motorcycles inside a metal globe.

And diets fall by the wayside when visitors inhale the scents wafting from booths full of hot dogs and sugary treats.
