In central Florida, almost equidistant between the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, Orlando is an entertainment mecca. It's world-famous as the home of Disney World®, but even without Walt, Orlando would be a magical kingdom. SeaWorld®, Cypress Gardens, and Universal Studios® are just a few of the attractions. You can contemplate the universe at nearby John F. Kennedy Space Center and canoe the wild and scenic Wekiva River within the city limits.
With an average yearly temperature of 80 degrees, every day's a good day to get wet here, and plenty of water theme parks oblige. But it's not all kid candy. The trendy boutiques of Thorton Park, antique shops on Orange Avenue, 150 challenging golf courses within a 45-minute drive, and plenty of nightlife prove Orlando caters to grownups, too.
Central Florida is also home to numerous museums and galleries, from the world's most comprehensive collection of Tiffany glass to unique sculpture to American folk art. Orlando's nothing if not diverse. Whether you want tropical drinks under a palm or a big buffet brunch with Pluto, Orlando's got you covered.
