Fave Family Vacation Spot Wacky Laws – Spotlight on Florida

You hear it calling you – Florida. It’s one of the most popular family vacation destinations in the United States, but did you know that even in this travelers’ mecca there are some bizarre laws on the books?

A few of the more notable headshakers are listed below, courtesy of the researchers at GuestQuest. Enjoy!

  • When you’re at your Florida vacation condo or other Florida lodging, you may be tempted to get a hair trim and color. But watch out if you’re put under the hair dryer! Women who fall asleep while their tresses are being heated can be fined. (The salon owner can be fined, too!)
  • Please don’t bring your elephant along to your Florida family vacation destination. Really, he’ll just cause trouble. See, if you leave Dumbo tied to a parking meter, you’ll be required to pay the parking fee. And that can really add up.
  • Singing in the shower is okay in Florida… so feel free to warble all you want at your Florida vacation condo. BUT please don’t sing a tune in any of Florida’s public places while you’re wearing a swimsuit.
  • Parents – even if your kids make you want to pull your hair out, don’t sell ‘em. Florida law prohibits that. Instead, look for something to preoccupy them to keep peace during what could end up being your best family vacation ever!

GuestQuest‘s exploration of the wackiest state laws isn’t over yet! Next time, we’ll travel to the place where peaches – and some weird regulations – reign… Georgia!
