Attractions in Downtown Orlando

The Orlando area--best known for its Disney attractions and hot weather--offers more than Mickey Mouse and Sea World. The city's downtown area offers nightlife and entertainment year round, with attractions for all ages. If you are by yourself, you can find areas to connect with the locals or other travelers. If you're with the family or friends, it is easy to find something that pleases the whole crowd.
  1. Lake Eola Park

    • Lake Eola Park offers paddle boats and electric gondola boats, as well as a walking and running path that is nearly a mile long. The Relax Grill serves lunch and dinner, which you could grab before seeing a show or concert at the park's amphitheater. Live swans can be seen around the park, and you're also allowed to feed them and the other wildlife. You can bring your own pets, except in athletic areas, but you must clean up after them.

    Orlando Science Center

Regular displays include exhibitions about severe weather, dinosaurs and water. The museum also hosts competition-based science fairs it refers to as "challenges" as well as overnight stays.

Visitors can access the arena by car or taxi.

    Orange County Regional History Center
