It’s no surprise that the main attractions in the Orlando / Kissimmee area are the theme parks. After all, Disney World and Universal have made Kissimmee the vacation capital of the world! Where there are tourists, there are tourist attractions… and because there are a lot of tourists – there are A LOT of attractions. Seriously, there is more to do in the area than you could ever do in just one Disney trip. Without further ado, Here are 3 of the things we recommend you do in Orlando besides the theme parks. #1 – iFLY Orlando If you’re looking for a little physical activity, iFLY is super fun! KIDS LOVE THIS ACTIVITY! It’s super safe and you’ll have an instructor with you the whole time guiding you. It is not as easy as it looks, without the guide this would be really messy. lol Initially, the instructor will keep you a few feet off the ground – until you get a feel for flying. Once you get your bearings you’ll have the chance to fly to the top of the tube. That was well worth it! Give that a shot if you can. iFLY also offers a virtual experience, where you put on virtual reality goggles while you’re flying in the tube. We haven’t tried that yet, but it must be mind blowing. 🙂 Check out the iFLY Orlando post for more…

Orlando Tree Trek has an outdoor course that is both fun and challenging. The Tree Trek course takes an average of 3.5 hours to finish. It’s a combination of zip lines, suspended bridges, nets & Tarzan swings. There are also 2 separate kid’s courses. The ropes/zip line courses are well laid out, and as you progress, so do the obstacle course challenges. They’re open from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. (earlier or later depending on the season). If possible, book either on-line or over the phone so that you can get started as soon as the doors open. Tree Trek offers senior & military discounts. You can also check for a Groupon discount before buying your tickets.

In the hot summer months, wear a tank top. You’ll be surprised how much sweating you’ll do. For safety reasons, you do not want to wear open-toed shoes, flip flops, or loose/baggy clothing. You can bring gloves, but you can also buy them t…

Check-out WonderWorks Orlando, an Indoor Amusement Park with 3 floors of fun science with hands-on interactive exhibits. The museum is open every day from 9 a.m. to midnight, Saturday & Sunday. WonderWorks Orlando Contact Info 9067 International Dr. Orlando, FL 32819 (407) 351-8800 https://www.wonderworksonline.com/orlando/ First Floor – Say hello to natural disasters. Enter a booth that simulates a 5.3 earthquake. Sit in a restaurant during a hurricane. Experience the frigid water from the Titanic. We each timed how long we can place our hands in the 28-degree water. Burr! Second Floor – Electricity anyone? The Tesla coil was mesmerizing. Via a chain-mail glove, you experience 100,000 volts of electricity. I waived my family good-bye, while the electricity sparked around my hand. That was fun! The Bubble Lab transported you back to your childhood. The family dog would have paid admission to be a part of that exhibit. We made gigantic bubbles and ran like the wind. After moving away from the Bubble Lab ex…

Most of us dream about Skydiving but chicken out at the thought of leaping out of an airplane mid-air. Who can blame you? For those who still want to experience the feeling of floating in the air without jumping out of a plane, you can go to iFly Orlando Indoor Skydiving. The kids jumped at the idea, and so we followed. Go on-line and make your reservation We made our reservations on-line then headed for our indoor skydiving experience. Parking was easily available. We checked-in, and then the front desk scheduled us for the orientation. iFLY Orlando Contact Info 8969 International Drive Orlando, FL 32819 (407) 337-4359 https://www.iflyworld.com/orlando/ Let the games begin… Everyone was ushered into a conference room where we watched an instructional video. Then, the instructor went over the proper way to position your body in the wind tunnel and all the do’s and don’ts. Once were were ready we marched out and put on our flight suits, protective goggles, and the helmet. Quick Tip: If you have long hair, put your hair in a ponytail. The wind tunnel effect makes your hair move in every direction imaginable. Also, remove all jewelry. There were plenty of sweaty palms Once we were in our full gear, there were a few sweaty palms in the group. It was very exciting!. We were then directed to our designated wind tunnel and sat in the seating area around it. The moment of truth One by one, the instructor called us into the entry portal. As …

There you’ll be able to swim with dolphins, stingrays, sharks, tropical fish, feed tropical birds and go on the best lazy river that we have ever experienced. We decided to take advantage of the early check-in at 7:30 a.m., so we can eat breakfast and start our day early. Discovery Cove Orlando Contact Info Here’s the Discovery Cove Orlando Address and contact info: 6000 Discovery Cove Way Orlando, FL 32821 (407) 513-4600 https://discoverycove.com/orlando/ Email: DCO- GuestRelations@DiscoveryCove.com Parking The purchase of your ticket includes all-day parking. We drove into the parking lot, parked the car, and then made our way to the lobby. The park’s friendly staff was ready to welcome us. They immediately scheduled our dolphin encounter, since it is done on a first-come, first-served basis. Then, they pointed us in the direction of the dining area. It was so easy breezy. Breakfast & Lunch We walked over to the buffet area; picked the food we wanted and then sat at a table. There were nice choices available, eggs, bacon, home fries, fruit yogurt, cereals, pastries, juice, etc. Basically, anything that would you’d expect to have at a restaurant for breakfast. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="383" height="510" src="http…
