Get "beamed" back to Earth and then proceed to the gift shop.

Building anything of significant depth underground is a monumental feat in Florida. Ever wonder why you never see a basement in Florida? Florida is very flat, most parts are just a few feet above sea level, the ground is made up of limestone, a very weak,unstable, and porous substance, and the water table is very close to the surface. I can assure you noone is making any form of tower underground.
