Orlando Attractions & Theme Parks

Prior to 1971, Orlando, Florida was just a beautiful subtropic southern town in Central Florida. It had some great big alligators in the area lakes and rivers but other than that, it was short on attractions and things to do and see. Then along came Walt Disney World with a world of magical vision followed by SeaWorld, Universal Studios, Discovery Cove and a host of other world-class theme parks and attractions.

Life in this still beautiful city would forever change as it became the most popular vacation destination in America averaging about 50 million visitors every year. Beyond the glitz of theme parks, Orlando boasts an endless variety of other attractions and hidden natural treasures. Gardens, museums, theaters, rivers and over 300 lakes await to give tourists a more tranquil and cultural side to the Orlando area.

Orlando features so many diverse attractions and points of interest that it would take weeks to experience them all. That's what keeps vacationers coming back, again and again. To help tourists plan their trip to Orlando, we present the following list of some of the most popular attractions in the Orlando area.
