7 things to do in Orlando besides the obvious
Conventional wisdom holds that there’s one thing to do in Orlando, with a few places to do it. And while it’s true that the city’s theme parks—namely Walt Disney World and Universal Studios—are all but must-visits if you’re even close to the area, the idea that they’re the end-all be-all just plain isn’t true.
Orlando actually features plenty of nightlife, nature, and activities for families with and without kids. The downtown area is hopping—a little-known fact—and its wetland geography provide plenty of opportunities to connect with Southern wildlife. Just outside the rushing rollercoasters, thrilling rides, and (let’s be honest) occasional chaos of the Theme Park Capital of the World, there’s also that other kind of park—you know, one with peace, quiet, and flowers? —and it’s a great way to recharge.
From racecars and airboats to pirate ships, 18th-century galleons, and gators, if you’re looking for things to do outside of the norm in this Central Florida hub, this list is for you.
