Orlando vacation resorts, and Orlando vacations generally, are notoriously hectic especially with all the attractions the kids want to visit, but there is so much more to enjoy in this busy city. A visitor will never be left feeling bored in Orlando with a huge range of cultural places to visit, shopping malls and 'non-theme park' attractions. Florida in general has a long history of attracting tourists and this is the busiest city with more and more people visiting each year in a place that will satisfy even the most demanding of individuals.
It is a great place to visit even if you only have shopping on your mind as Orlando area is full of beautiful shopping malls, restaurants and shops of every type. More than 35-million people each year come to enjoy a vacation in Orlando at the many attractions and events that make it a great place to visit.
If you are an animal lover then you must visit the Central Florida Zoological Park in Sanford which was opened to the public in'75 and houses a collection of over 400 hundred animals. The zoo has a charity status and is dedicated to the preservation of all exotic animals, including those that are only found in Florida.
Then there are the works of Louis Tiffany whose famous collection is housed here in the Morse Museum of American Art. The collection is the most comprehensive anywhere with Tiffany jewelry, art glass, ornaments, pottery, paintings and leaded glass.
Surprisingly, Orlando is not just about fun for the children because adults are very well catered for in this entertainment town full of Orlando vacation resorts. For people that prefer the night, the list of things to do on an Orlando vacation is almost endless with families, teenagers and adults all well looked after.
The Orlando Science Center is another of the major attractions and its four-story center is the biggest of its kind in the Southeast; offering 10 exhibit halls that allow visitors everything from the Florida swamplands to the dry plains of Mars. Then there is the International Trolley and Train Museum where you can see toy trains from the'20s; plus take a ride in a California Victorian-style half open/half closed trolley car.
The Titanic - Ship of Dreams Exhibition can also be found along International Drive; this is a moving, often eerie depiction of the great Ocean Liner with a tour guide depicting a character from the ship with many original items on display. A quieter more relaxing time can be found within the grounds of Lake Eola Park where you can enjoy over forty three acres of wonderful parkland which includes a boating lake for the more energetic.
Of course how could anyone possibly visit any Orlando vacation resorts without a visit to at least one theme park, of which Disney has four, not including the water parks. Universal has its own versions including Seaworld. If you are on your first vacation in Orlando, try to visit all the major attractions first because it is almost certain you will return again next year.
