Seasoned tourists recommend visiting the following destinations in and around Orlando when in Florida.
First thing first in Orlando, get into a Glass Bottomed Boat ride in Silver Springs and take a close look down on Florida's wildlife. Butterfly World is a must see if only to surround yourself with waterfalls, beautiful flowers, classical music, and, of course, world’s greatest collection of butterflies.

| Orlando is a Walt Disney’s empire of childlike enjoyment |
| 03.30.05 (9:39 pm) [edit] |
Like many people I relate Orlando to Disneyworld, but an Orlando vacation offers much more than Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Daffy and Donald Duck. Orlando is the perfect location to enjoy diverse things from horse-drawn carriage rides at dusk to romantic picnics in the park. It is he ideal choice for a romantic vacation as well as a fun-packed family tour. Surprisingly, there are 95 theme parks and major attractions in Orlando alone. Even before Walt Disney changed the face of Orlando, it was a popular vacation spot. Orlando's mild and sunny weather make it a great tourist destination round the year. There is no special season to see the stunning wildlife, tropical foliage, and beautiful flowers in Orlando, it is on show all year.
If you are looking for some off the beaten track destinations in Orlando that a family can enjoy apart from Disney World, there are money choices available in and around this Florida paradise. You can definitely choose a romantic getaway if you are a couple, but like many, I would prefer a few days of more quiet, intimate, relaxation.
