Orlando Attractions |
 |
|
| Orlando is known worldwide as a kingdom of fun ruled by Mickey Mouse. Walt Disney World Resort alone covers about 47 square miles, which is double the size of Manhattan in New York. But Orlando in fact thrives with dozens of exciting attractions totally unrelated to Sir Disney’s entertainment. There is no question that Walt Disney gets the credit for jump-starting Orlando tourism, but there were few other pioneers before him. In 1936 Dick Pope Sr. opened cypress gardens and became known as “Father of Tourism”. But the first stone into modern tourism wall of fame was laid even earlier, when Mr. John B. Steinmentz became inventive after losing his citrus crops to a devastating freeze of 1895, and turned his packing house into a skating rink, built a toboggan slide into nearby springs and also added a bathhouse and a picnic area. In 19th century Orlando’s main commodities were cotton, cattle and citrus groves. After series of unfortunate man-provoked events and severe hurricanes it became clear that citrus industry was the safest bet, so people started getting “citrus fever”. A century later, in 1971, along came the “mouse fever” changing Orlando’s image forever. |

| Wet 'n Wild |
|
|
| If you are visiting Orlando in summer when the outdoor temperatures are at the highest, it can get quite “toasty”. That is when families and friends head to Wet ‘n Wild, the tropical paradise where you can escape to high waves of excitement and cool, refreshing, splashing fun. And again, like anywhere else in Orlando, they have all sorts of attractions suitable for different ages. Lazy River, Wave Pool Surf Lagoon, Bubble Up and Kid’s Park are perfect for little mermaids and splashy nemos. If you are looking to blow some steam and get an extra adrenaline kick then Brain Wash, Der Stuka, The Storm, Mach 5, The Bomb Bay and seasonal Wake Zone are just what doctor ordered. Those will blow your mind. And for ultimate family fun that will bring you all together, try the variety of multi-person rides: Brain Wash, Disco H2O, The Surge, The Bubba Tub, The Black Hole, The flyer or The Blast. |
|
| WonderWorks |
|
|
| For less crowded more interactive adventure experience head to WonderWorks. This amusement park for the mind offers over 100 interactive exhibits that will, without a doubt, entertain and please visitors of all ages. Perhaps the most eye-catching feature of WonderWorks is the way it looks outside; this three-story tall, classically designed building appears to have landed upside down, on top of 1930’s style brick warehouse. Inside you can experience the trembling of 5.3 strength earthquake, get blown away by 65 miles-per-hour force winds, control a NASA spacecraft to land a shuttle, fly a fighter jet, make a 3-D impression of yourself and much more. The tickets are very affordable and the park is open daily. |
|
| Thompson Aire Balloon Rides |
|
|
| Float effortlessly above all the hustle and bustle of Orlando with Thompson Aire Balloon Rides, which most definitely offers the best sunrise view in town. It’s a great way to start your day. A three to four hour program includes the pre-flight briefing, one hour flight, champagne toast upon landing and succulent breakfast buffet. Upon completion guests receive a “first flight certificate”. Reservation highly recommended. |
|
| Harry P. Leu Gardens |
|
|
| If you get exhausted by the non-stop action of Orlando and kids dragging you all over the place, escape to Harry P. Leu Gardens. The kids probably won’t appreciate it, but nonetheless treat yourself to few hours of natural beauty and tranquility filled with wonderful aromas and gorgeous flowers. Leu Gardens is a 50-acre oasis offering various strolls among thousands of roses, wildflowers and ponds with water lilies. It also features country’s largest outdoor display of camellias that bloom October through March. |
|
| Richard Petty Driving |
|
|
| If you are fascinated with fast cars and trucks or have a teen that is glued to Formula 1, then Richard Petty Driving Experience may top all the thrills in the theme parks. You can drive or ride shotgun in a NASCAR-style stock car at speeds up to 120 miles-per-hour at the Walt Disney World Speedway. You might not have known that about Mickey, but he is a secret speed racer. |
|
| Holy Land Experience |
|
|
| Whether you are a religious person or not Holy Land Experience is very worth visiting on your trip to Orlando. This $16 million, 15-acre Holy Land Experience re-creates the city of Jerusalem and its unprecedented religious significance between the years of 1450 B.C and A.D. 66. Themed costume characters, dramatic enactments and high-tech visual presentation aid your trip in time and history. It also features spectacular collection of antiquities dating to 2200 B.C. |
|
| Green Meadows Petting Farm |
|
|
| If Old McDonald had a real farm it would be Green Meadows Petting Farm. He would definitely approve of two-hour guided tour of 300 farm animals and would surely encourage visitors to pet animals, milk a cow, roll in hay and ride a pony. After all the country fun, in hopes you grew an appetite, he would invite you for a picnic. We highly recommend you visit Green Meadows Petting Farm and pay our old man a visit. |
