You've visited the major parks, now what ??
You've visited the
headline Orlando attractions:-
Disneys' Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM Studios, Animal
Kingdom, Pleasure Island & Boardwalk;
Universals' Studios, Islands of Adventure &
Citywalk;
Sea World & Discovery Cove.
You've been well washed at Blizzard
Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Aquatica & Wet & Wild.
You've shopped
at Prime Outlets, The Florida Mall, Mall
at Millennia & the Mercado, explored International Drive from end to end, been to evening dinner-shows at Medieval
Times, Arabian Nights, Pirates, Sleuths & Sea worlds' Mahahiki Luau.
Gone further afield on daytrips to Kennedy Space
Centre, Silver Springs, Busch Gardens & Adventure Island (both at Tampa), Cypress
gardens &
visited the Gulf Coast beaches,
But still need to fill that odd half-day!
There are many things in & around Orlando not quite so well advertised as Disney
or Universal but, never the less, well worth a visit.
Try any of these links for further information...
Try Gatorland on South Orange Blossom Trail to meet some of the original inhabitants of the locality !
The Holy Land Experience will take you back to the time of Christ in an
interactive way...
If you're up to a 6am (or earlier !) start, you could try Orange Blossom Balloons by Days
Inn on the 192 for a champagne balloon flight over the area.
Or maybe a helicopter flight's more your thing ?? Sunshine Helicopter Tours at Mile Marker 11 on the 192 are local...
For tinys, Green Meadows Petting Farm on Poinciana Blvd. is the
place to meet all things fluffy and furry.
These locations are all within a few minutes drive of our villa & are only an idea for
alternative venues - there are many others !
Further afield are Mount Dora, a small 'olde worlde' town with some interesting antique
shops, Winter Park with the Tiffany glass museum, boat rides and Squirrel
park or St. Augustine, reputedly the oldest
city in America, originally settled by the Spanish (though the Indians got there
first!)....
