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, & Wet & Wild.
You've shopped at Belz, 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 & Dolly Parton.
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...

A World of Orchids, on Old Lake Wilson Rd. has some beautiful natural exhibits, a large glass-house & a boardwalk through some 'original' Florida landscape.

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 start, you could try Orange Blossom Balloons by Days Inn on the 192.

For tinys, Green Meadows Petting Farm on Poinciana Blvd. could be the thing.

These are all within a few minutes drive of our villa & are only an idea for alternative venues!

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!)....
