Orlando Vacations

Orlando is a world-class destination that has so much to do that everyone can have fun in their own way. The collection of theme parks including Cypress Gardens, Discovery Cove, SeaWorld Orlando, Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World Resort are truly unique in the world. 

Needless to say, Orlando will capture the imagination of any kid (and dare I say, grown ups!). There are so many different attractions and activities available that you will be able to choose even according to the age of your kids. For example, for kids aged under 5 years you may want to visit the following: 

SeaWorld Orlando – Marine mammals with their underwater antics and comic turns tickle youngsters’ funny bones. The seal and walrus high jinks at “Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island” is good for lots of laughs, and Shamu, the killer whale, makes a big splash during day and nighttime shows. Kids can pet dolphins and stingrays, and they’ll navigate an exciting course through the wet, wonderful Shamu’s Happy Harbor playground. 

Water Mania – In this 36-acre water park, little ones can’t wait to get wet on the Rain Train, a life-sized locomotive that sprays water from its stack, wheels and slides. No need to walk the plank in Pirate’s Lagoon – children can splash beneath fountains, whiz down water slides and squirt one another with water guns.  

For kids aged 5-9 years you may want to visit the following: 

Dinosaur World – With more than 150 life-size dinosaurs located on its grounds, this attraction is always a hit. Families can examine fossils and learn why dinosaur remains are not found in Florida.  

Fun Spot Action Park – Bumper cars and boats, arcade games and parent-driven go-karts keep the action flowing in an indoor-outdoor party-like atmosphere.  Eight-year-olds who are 50 inches tall or more can even drive their own go-kart on the beginner track. 

For kids aged 10-12 you may wish visit the following: 

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay – Roller coasters, flume rides and wild animals headline this popular theme park near Florida’s west coast. The park’s thousands of critters include white Bengal tigers, giraffes, zebras and elephants, and the Rhino Rally safari offers a good view with built-in thrill factors.   

Disney Quest at Downtown Disney^® West Side – A five-story interactive, indoor theme park with virtual rides and attractions solves many a rainy-day vacation concern. Kids can battle cartoon villains and pirates, design their own roller coaster and ride it in a simulator, become an animator, ride a magic carpet and become a human pinball.
