Often it can be overwhelming trying to decide what to see, when to see it, how much it will cost and most importantly.....is it worth it?!
Attractions in Orlando aren't just limited to Disney, Universal and SeaWorld, in addition to these big theme parks, there's so much more to see and do in the Orlando area.
This site will guide you through the many Orlando attractions from the large theme parks to the secluded and tranquil Orlando gardens and parks, to the vibrant nightlife scene to the many activities including airboat rides and serene river boat tours.
World Class Theme Parks
Theme parks in Orlando are world famous! These Orlando attractions alone could keep you busy for days on end if you had the energy! Of course, Disney World and Universal Studios are 'the big two'.
They feature some amazing rides that will get your heart pounding and your adrenaline soaring, such as The Hulk at Universal Islands of Adventure and the new Expedition Everest at Disney World. That's not to mention all the high-tech virtual reality rides that will whizz you through the sights and sounds of movies such as Spiderman, Twister, Men In Black and Shrek!
If you love animals you'll see some amazing exhibits and live shows at, Disney's Animal Kingdom and Discovery Cove. Shamu, the killer whale show is the big attraction at Sea World.
Yet there are plenty of shows and exhibits that feature all kinds of marine and animal life, such as sharks, manatees, polar bears and Clydesdale horses.
Water Parks Making a Splash in Orlando
It's great to cool off from the Florida heat in one of the Orlando water parks, these are the best ones to check out:-
Wet 'n' Wild, for the thrill seeker in you! If you're into steep thrill slides and rapid twisting turning water slides, this is the water park for you.
Typhoon Lagoon This Disney water park offers a wide variety of slides for all ages in beautifully landscaped surroundings.
Blizzard Beach Disney's most popular water park, a close rival to Wet 'n' Wild in the thrill slide stakes!
Aquatica at SeaWorld A new water park that has more to offer younger children. It has a tropical island setting with lazy rivers, two huge wave pools and sandy beaches. Since it opened in April 2008, it's proved to be a big hit and another addition to the long list of Orlando attractions!
Animal Attractions in Orlando
 Discovery Cove is a more serene and tranquil park. Have you ever dreamed of swimming with dolphins? If so, this is the place to go while in Orlando.
This is definately a once in a lifetime experience! There is also a meandering tropical river, palm fringed beaches, coral reef and a bird sanctuary to explore. Of all the large theme park attractions in Orlando, Discovery Cove is the least crowded and offers the most personalised hospitality.
Orlando Attractions: Off The Beaten Tourist Path
Orlando tourist attractions, though exhilerating, can be tiresome after a few days! If you're wanting to escape from the crowds and long lines at the theme parks, why not check out these activities:-
Orlando parks and gardens offer a tranquil escape from the tourist throngs. Leu Gardens to the north-west of downtown is a local gem to discover. Also, in the heart of downtown is Lake Eola Park, the perfect place for a picnic or a gentle stroll around the lake.
Boat tours are a unique way to see local wildlife and take in the scenery. You can take a fast airboat ride across the saw grass, stopping to see various birds and animals, or you can take a more relaxed river boat cruise. For more information, see my Orlando boat tours page.
Take to the skies Why not try a hot air balloon ride or even skydiving? There are many companies offering these exciting experiences in Orlando.
