Top Things to Do In Orlando
Walt Disney World Orlando's most familiar landmark is
undoubtedly the turreted Cinderella Castle that stands in the
centre of the original Disney Florida theme park, the Magic
Kingdom, at Lake Buena Vista. Sea World Spread out between the Disney parks at Lake
Buena Vista and the downtown Orlando area is the renowned Sea World
attraction, which has been making a major splash in central Florida
for more than a quarter of a century. Universal Studios Experienced theme parkers recommend that it
takes at least two days to fully appreciate all the delights on
offer at the Universal Orlando entertainment complex, which
includes two theme parks: the Islands of Adventure and Universal
Studios. Wet ?n Wild One of Orlando's numerous water parks, Wet 'n
Wild has the distinction of being the most popular water attraction
in the area and also the world's first amusement park devoted
solely to water flumes, pools and slides. Orlando Odditorium Housed in an odd-looking building that is
tipped to one side and apparently sinking into the ground, the
Orlando Odditorium contains a remarkable collection of weird and
wonderful exhibits, amassed over a period of 40 years by explorer
Robert Ripley. Orlando Museum of Art In true Florida style, Orlando's Museum of
Art is not just another gallery but a fascinating world of creative
themed exhibitions showcasing its permanent collections of American
Art, Art of the Ancient Americas and African Art. Kennedy Space Centre The John F. Fantasy of Flight Midway between Tampa and Orlando, about 20
minutes drive west of Walt Disney World, the Fantasy of Flight
resort is billed as the world's greatest aircraft collection.
