Top ten things to do in Orlando
Orlando is the ultimate playground for kids and anyone who is a kid at heart. Wish upon a star at the Magic Kingdom, then head to the heart-pumping rides at a water park. To top it all off, travel to the stars at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral.
1. Walt Disney World Resort
This mothership of entertainment landed in Florida in 1971 and has been luring the masses ever since. There are four theme parks, including the Magic Kingdom, and two water parks.
2. Magic Kingdom
It's the world's most visited theme park, welcoming over 19 million visitors a year to its six individual "lands." Liberty Square reflects small-town Colonial America in 1776.
3. Epcot
Spaceship Earth, the iconic symbol of the park, is a virtual time machine that whisks visitors on a journey of human communication, spanning millennia in just 15 minutes.
4. Disney's Animal Kingdom
It's one of the world's largest animal theme parks. The Kilimanjaro Safari takes visitors in a vehicle through the open spaces, where elephants, antelope and others roam freely.
5. Disney's Hollywood Studios
The park features eight themed sections of Tinsletown, complete with a Hollywood Blvd. "The Great Movie Ride" at the Chinese Theater honors classic films, like the Wizard of Oz.
6. Islands of Adventure
This is the place to explore the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" and "Hogsmeade." Discover the magic of Hogwarts and get a thrill from other wizarding moments.
7. Wet 'n Wild
Take it easy on the Lazy River, or experience a rush while plummeting six stories down a vertical slide. The park certainly lives up to its name with hair-raising rides.
8. Aquatica
The Dolphin Plunge at Sea World sends you barreling through a tube in the underwater world of Commerson's dolphins. These sprightly creatures will whiz right along with you, too.
9. Discovery Cove
The park offers the ultimate experience to swim with dolphins in a tranquil lagoon. Swimmers can also get up-close to frisky, freshwater otters and explore marine life in a reef.
10. Kennedy Space Center
What a place to learn about the US space program! A replica of the external tank and two rocket boosters towers 184 feet over the entrance to the Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibition.

What people are saying about Orlando
Jason was a wonderful guide. He told us about other things to do in the area. When we arrived at the space center he took us to the furthest exhibit hall, pointed out the best things to see and gave us an idea about how long each one should take so we could better budget our time. In the time the park was open, 10AM to 4PM, we were able to see approximately 80% of the park.
Was the amazing experience I have with my family !!! We enjoy the hole day with different activities but the most and special activities was the 3D activities !!! My kids made memories I personally was satisfied totally recommend with the tickets was easy clean no contact everybody friendly !!! Happy
Great experience. Loved the wax statues. There were safety protocols in place, but as the quantity of guests increased people began to ignore the rules. We finished our tour and got out. Overall, I really enjoyed the displays.
It was fun visiting the KSC again, this time with our young granddaughters, 7 and 5 years old. It was too bad that several of the buildings were closed due to COVID, but still it was very interesting.
I'm so happy I took my daughter, she turned 10 on Sunday and always wanted to go. She enjoyed every moment of it, seeing all her favorite celebrities and taking pictures with them, well worth it.
