Nearly anyone who heads toward Orlando, Florida will end up at one of the theme parks in the area. There will be days however, where doing something else will be on the agenda.

Would try my best to visit these places in Orlando next time i visit US.
Looks like so much fun! I have not been to Orlando, yet.. but hopefully one day! Thanks so much for sharing your family’s vacation.
Nice places to visit. I haven’t been to Orlando, but I can see there are many activities to do there
I had no idea there were so many non amusement park things to do! I hate that my body does NOT want to go on amusement park rides while the rest of me wants to…body wins.
I haven’t been down to Orlando yet, but sounds like there’s a lot of stuff to see there.
Wish they’d have had these non amusement parks in Fla. when I was a kid-been to Orlando several times. I’d choose the Science center. Take care, “God Bless”, sincerely Randy.
I love all of the info.
I’m planning to go to Orlando next month so this one is really useful! Thankyou so much for the recommendations 🙂
