For most people traveling to Orlando, Disney World and the other theme parks are the first thing on the agenda. But if you have been there and done that, or are just looking from some ways to round out your trip, Orlando does have other things to offer.
With the most hotels in the nation except for Las Vegas, cheap vacation packages can be easy to spot, making the city an attractive destination for an extended stay. And as is usual with many tourist destinations, it’s not tough to find a good price on Orlando airfare. Here are some other things to check out on your next trip:
Orlando Science Center — The museum will immediately catch your eye due to its unique architecture. It’s an inexpensive place for families to visit and provides a good opportunity for an educational lesson during your vacation. A current frog exhibit allows visitors to view more than 80 species and learn about how frogs are helping in diabetes research.
Gatorland — Sticking with the reptilian theme, Gatorland offers the opportunity for visitors to get a great look at some of Orlando’s most infamous residents – all without the fear that might go along with running into one in the wild.
Titanic The Experience — Ever wonder what it might have been like to be on the Titanic? This exhibit features a replica of the behemoth cruiser, along with actors in period costumes who will give you the experience of being on the famous vessel without the terror of traveling on a sinking ship.
Fishing — The shallow lakes around Orlando feature some of the best bass fishing in the nation. Experts in the city offer guided trips to help you find the hot spots to land the big one.
Swamp tours — You may have heard that Florida is pretty much one giant swamp. The thing is, natural swamps offer a unique and beautiful landscape for those interested in the outdoors. Hop on a fan boat and your guide will likely be able to get you close to real wild gators without putting you in harm’s way.
