Everyone knows how popular Disney World in Orlando, FL, is among both tourists and locals. The theme park attracts an estimated 50 million visitors a year. But on your trip to Orlando, there are many other amazing attractions to enjoy besides Disney World. Learn where the locals go to enhance your time in Florida and add an extra layer of fun to your visit.
1. Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition
This museum on International Drive takes visitors through a collection of hundreds of artifacts recovered from the ship, along with full-scale room recreations, costumed historians, and even a replica of the famed Grand Staircase of the Titanic. Guided tours take about two hours.
While this attraction is considered a hidden gem by locals, it’s still a good idea to call ahead for reservations.
2. The Escape Game Orlando
Visiting two attractions close together means less time spent in the car fighting heavy tourist traffic and risking a car accident. The Escape Game Orlando is a short walk from the Titanic exhibit and a great way to cap off an evening. The whole family will enjoy putting their teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test in this immersive experience.
3. Weeki Wachee Springs
You’ll have to travel a little outside of the metro area to enjoy the natural springs known as Weeki Wachee, but it’s well worth the short drive. Don’t bring your swimsuit; the one-time water park is now a state park that’s rich in local tourism history.
4. Bok Tower Gardens
Bok Tower is a National Historic Landmark that’s beloved by locals. The 205-foot tower overlooks stunning tropical gardens home to a variety of local birds. Don’t worry about the kids getting injured by a fall — the tower is off-limits for climbing.
5. Orlando Balloon Rides
What could be more magical than enjoying the sunrise over Orlando in a hot air balloon? Locals and visitors love the view from up in the air. Sorry, late sleepers: Orlando hot air balloons only fly in the morning, and riders must be at the designated location an hour before sunrise.
6. Orlando Science Center
Where do local parents take the family for a fun and educational afternoon outing? The Orlando Science Center is located about 25 minutes from Walt Disney World Resort. Visitors can gaze at the stars in the planetarium, see dinosaur exhibits, and watch educational films all in one stop.
7. The Morse Museum
Get a taste of Orlando culture by visiting this privately-owned museum in Winter Park. The Morse Museum houses the largest collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany in the world. A stop at the museum offers a welcome change of pace from theme parks and is a great way to meet locals.
8. ICEBAR Orlando
ICEBAR on International Drive might seem a bit on the touristy side, but not even locals can resist visiting this below-freezing lounge built from tons of hand-carved ice in the middle of a tropical environment. If you didn’t pack your winter gear, coats and gloves are available for a fee.
9. Gatorland
In Florida, alligators are as iconic as orange juice. Whether you choose to zip-line above a pond full of alligators or go on a gator safari, you’ll find as many thrills and chills in Gatorland as in any theme park. Visitors can also see snakes, birds, crocodiles, and big wild cats.
10. Mead Botanical Garden
Nature lovers will appreciate the tranquility of Orlando’s 46-acre botanical paradise, where you can enjoy the lush landscapes and learn about local flora and critical ecosystems. The park provides restrooms, picnic tables, and other amenities to make your visit complete.
Enjoy Orlando Like A Local
Life is full of accidents and unpleasant surprises. Taking the time to enjoy all Orlando has to offer is one way to balance out the rough spots. To make the most of your visit to Florida, get off the beaten path and get to know the real Orlando.
