ORLANDO AREA
Orlando is one of the world’s most visited family
destinations, and while its illustrious themed attractions
may steal the limelight, with a vibrant and well-kept city
center and a climate that averages around 75° Fahrenheit
(25° Celsius), there is a surprising amount of things to
experience here.
Welcoming tens-of-millions of visitors per year, both
Disney World and Universal Orlando pack in an entire
trip’s worth of fun on their own. But it would be a mistake
to overlook Orlando’s other activities because the rest
of ‘The City Beautiful’ is full of similar family-friendly
attractions like waterparks, giant aquariums and zoos,
exciting shows, airboat tours around the swamps and
plenty of golfing opportunities.
Orlando is also a gold mine of culture, attracting renowned artists.
