Things to do in Lakeland

Lakeland sits on I-4 almost exactly between Tampa and Orlando, and that location has made it a major distribution and logistics hub, with large warehouses and fulfillment centers spread across Polk County. Publix Super Markets is headquartered here, and healthcare, manufacturing and the phosphate industry round out the regional economy. Florida Southern College, home to the largest single-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world, gives the city a landmark few places can match.
