Visit Orlando

 With some of the world’s top theme parks in one sunny location, Orlando is the theme park capital of the world. Best of all, Orlando offers new and exciting experiences for visitors each year, so there’s always a reason to return. Plan to visit the many amazing theme parks and water parks at Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando Resort, and LEGOLAND Florida Resort. Come to Orlando for blockbuster rides, fabulous shopping, award-winning restaurants, spectacular museums and world-class entertainment.

The City

For many, Orlando experiences begin with legendary theme parks, where there are endless opportunities for unforgettable moments. Like seeing the joy in a toddler’s face when she’s running to greet a favorite character. Or feeling the anticipation that builds as you strap into a new pulse-pounding thrill ride.

When it comes to aquatic adventures, Orlando offers dozens of attractions that could fill countless volumes with tales of friendly sea creatures. For those times when you are in search of a peaceful escape, you can find luxurious spas and idyllic pools where majestic palms and gentle breezes create an oasis of calm. Of course, there are still many more chapters to explore: championship golf courses, world-class shopping, a vibrant dining scene featuring the latest from celebrity chefs and rising culinary stars, and even serene eco-adventures.

Do & See

Orlando has lots to offer outside the theme parks, whether you're a fan of more affordable attractions or a more relaxed pace. The Orlando Eye ferris wheel towers above the entire ICON Park complex, while Boggy Creek Airboat Rides offers a glimpse into the unaltered Central Florida wilderness. Little ones can find hours of fun at Crayola Experience, and grownups can get just as creative ordering cocktails at speak-easy styled bar, Mathers Social Gathering.
