Its also a tourist attraction at non-race times with a free admission World Center of Racing Visitors Center. Visitors can walk out and see the track as well as be entertained by 30-minute guided tram tours of the garage area and pit road.

The visitor center houses the extremely popular Daytona USA attraction with state-of-the-art interactive motor-sports entertainment attractions. Visitors get the feel of zooming around the track in a multi-seat motion simulator or blasting away from a standing start to 200 mph in a simulated NASCAR.

Along with a whole host of other attractions is an action packed IMAX film where the audience are in the drivers seat of a Daytona 500 race car.

Halifax Historical Museum is housed in the former Merchant's Bank Building located in the heart of the downtown historical district of Daytona Beach.

For a town with a population of approximately 70,000, the Museum of Arts and Sciences is quite exceptional. It is best known for its Cuban Art exhibit, donated by former Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in 1956.

Among the collection is a portrait of Eva Perón, thought to be the only painting completed in her lifetime that is still in existence. The African Life display has a spectacular collection of gold ornaments.

Ponce de León Inlet Lighthouse & Museum is a National Historic Landmark and is the second-tallest in the United States. The lighthouse and original brick buildings, dating to the 1880's, have been restored. Visitors need to be fit and of sound mind to climb the punishing 203 steps to the top of the lighthouse.

Enjoy a commentary cruise spotting dolphins, manatees, herons, pelicans, diving cormorants and other assorted marine wildlife, or the man-made estates and historic downtown district along the river frontages. Book a seat aboard a shared charter and try your luck with offshore fishing for marlin, sailfish, king mackerel and other sporting fish. Save the cost of a boat and fish with the locals from the Main Street Pier.

The Champions course is a Rees Jones design and the Legends course was designed by Arthur Hills. The most popular city public course is the Daytona Beach Country Club which has 36 holes.
