Sure, you may live in Polk County, but are you fully experiencing the best food, drinks, and art it has to offer? Dive deeper into our culinary + creative scene with three free passes from Visit Central Florida.

All it takes is your smartphone to sign up for a digital pass, no app required. Just use your GPS to check in at each location and start racking up rewards as you experience the county.
