Orlando Florida Attractions: Top 10 Things to Do
The highlights are many, in this town.
Ron Jon Surf Park
"Ron Jon" is a legendary name in surf stores, and now the company's launched the Ron Jon Surfpark on International Drive. Three surf pools offer different levels of wave-riding. Beginners can learn to surf in perfect, controlled conditions. Got skills? The Pro Pool's got waves up to 8 feet high, and a ride that lasts 100 yards.
Kennedy Space Center
Expand your trip to Orlando with a visit to the Kennedy Space Center, 35 miles away on the "Space Coast" (where you can hit the beach as well.) The Kennedy Space Center is entirely oriented to family visits, and intended to thrill kids with the history of the space program and the vision of space exploration.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
About 100 miles SW of Orlando, this 335-acre theme park has thrill-ride roller coasters, water-rides, lovely grounds, African theming, and opportunities to view elephants, rhinos, giraffes, etc. A fun park that's manageable to do in one day.
Orlando Attractions
The site of the Orlando Convention & Visitors' Bureau covers the gamut of Orlando's attractions.
Wet 'N Wild Orlando
Another fun place in Orlando: a water park with wave pool, lazy river, and lots of rides: thrill rides, multi-person, Takin' It Easy, and Just for Kids.
Orlando Science Center
The OSC has hundreds of hands-on interactive exhibits, plus a planetarium with an 8-storey dome screen.
Medieval Times- Orlando
Just one of a bunch of Orlando dinner-shows geared to families, this popular spot has knights in armor, horses, jousts-- and dinner too, of course.
Gatorland
50 acres of a combined tourist attraction and working alligator farm.
