When most people think of Florida, perhaps Disneyworld is one of the first images, which pops into their head. But there are so many other activities, which are fun for the whole family just waiting to be explored in Orlando! 

For animal lovers, there is no better place to visit than SeaWorld Orlando. Here you have the opportunity to slip into the water with a beluga whale, touch a stingray or even be a marine life trainer for a day! Sea World is a fun-filled adventure for families and couples alike!  

Explore the headwaters of the Florida Everglades on an Orlando airboat adventure, make sure to look out for alligators! Or take a paddlewheel boat ride aboard the beautiful Indian River Queen. 

If alligators are top on your list of animals to see, make a stop at Gatorland where you will have the once in a lifetime opportunity to sit on the back of a REAL alligator! This experience is not to be missed! 

In Orlando, you can also parasail; it’s an unbelievable and invigorating experience, as you set out high above Central Florida’s chain of lakes. Or, try your first hang gliding experience at Wallaby Ranch Hang Gliding Flight Park, guaranteed to take your breath away! Another unique experience is learning to sky dive indoors at SkyVenture Orlando, not for the faint of heart! 

Enjoy the feel of the “ conga beat” at Latin singer sensation Gloria Estefan’s restaurant, Bongos Cuban Café, as you enjoy a night out in downtown Orlando. The Latin Quarter is a great place for you to learn how to salsa and merengue or to practice your own moves! 

After a night of dancing, enjoy your breakfast in bed – in public! Make reservations at The Beacon, a trendy restaurant and nightclub in downtown Orlando’s Thornton Park. 

Visit Epcot Center, which offers a fantastic “tour of the world” in under a mile. This interesting exhibit lets you travel without actually having to step out of the theme park! Another exciting thing to try is being a pirate for a day aboard a giant, indoor galleon at Pirate’s Dinner Adventure. 

Whether you are sipping on a specialty martini at the Blue Martini Bar, viewing the stars from the largest refractor telescope in Florida or whale watching at Port Canaveral, Orlando is an exciting city for all to enjoy.
