Orlando Attractions.
As well as the top attraction, Walt Disney World Resort, there is also SeaWorld Orlando, which is the world's most popular marine life park. The park has lots of opportunities get up-close to and learn about the fascinating marine life, including rays, manatees, sharks and of course to see the stunning Shamu show, Believe! Plus, there’s a host of rides for the whole family, including Kraken, Orlando’s tallest and only floorless coaster and Shamu Express, the family rollercoaster!
Next to SeaWorld Orlando is Discovery Cove, it’s the only place in Orlando where you can swim with dolphins. Ensure that you book well in advance, as this reservations-only attraction limits admission to just 1000 guests a day. The park offers the chance to swim and play with a beautiful Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, snorkel with tropical fish and rays, feed and interact with tropical birds and relax on white-sand beaches. Plus, all Discovery Cove Packages include a continental breakfast, sumptuous buffet lunch and all drinks and snacks throughout the day.
On to Kissimmee: Gatorland on the Orange Blossom Trail Nr Kissimmee has some pretty entertaining shows. How about The Gator Jumoparoo or Gator Wrestling? There are also Florida Snakes on view but only if you want to see them so don’t worry!
Disney’s Blizzard Beach on Buena Vista Drive has the fastest ski jump slide in the world. This exhilarating attraction is full of chutes and slides you will want to dare to try, and you will feel great after you’ve zipped down those slides.
Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museum on International Drive is in a wonky building. And see Wonderworks in an upside down house. Also there is The Haunted House. The Skull Kingdom is a haunted mansion built to look like a castle with a skull peering out from the front.
Universal Orlando is the rival to Disney’s MGM with good reason. It has excellent tours where you are shown fantastic special effects equipment and how it works, studios where familiar TV programmes and series' are made as well as new feature films.
Also on The Universal Theme Park Site is the Islands Of Adventure Theme Park which has mind blowing roller coaster rides superior to Disney.
Walt Disney World is the main draw, with all its theme parks, attractions and events. There is also Disney’s World Of Sports two miles East of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Catch a boat to Disney’s own castaway island Castaway Cay. Separate entertainment areas are provided for children.
