Everyone knows that Orlando has great beaches and amusement parks to explore, but hidden in those beaches and amusement parks are spectacular adventures that await. Here are 10 places to explore while in Orlando Florida.
1) The Mummy Ride at Universal Studios - I am not going to give the ride away, however, you will be pleasantly surprised by the dark tombs you pass as you walk through the guided hallways that lead you to the ride. Feel the ancient history as you follow the trail leading up the stairs to the ride pathway. Once on the ride explore history, fun and excitement. A must ride.
2) The Boardwalk Bar - Located on Cocoa Beach Pier, this bar allows you to take in the view of the ocean and snack on an array of burgers, fresh Florida gator tail, sandwiches, wings and more. They have happy hour with delicious drinks.
3) Madam Tussauds Wax Museum Orlando - Walk into a world of famous history. Explore and learn more about people you've always wanted to meet. Here you can take photos with the stars, such as Will Smith, Barack Obama and Taylor Swift. Each figure has real life attributes and you feel like you're standing next to the real thing.
4) Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament - The Queen of the Royal Court invites you to travel through the mist of time to a festive celebration where you'll be in awe of gallant knights and majestic horses, so the website says. In person the castle is a huge fortress that with one glance takes you back in time. Enjoy a dinner while watching the men on the horses battle for the Queen. Dressed in armor and ready for battle, you will see the intense acts of sacrifice these men make to secure their castle.
5) Citywalk Orlando - A place with food, music and fun. Enjoy restaurants like Bubba Gump Shrimp and The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen. The Citywalk is a place where 3 amusement parks come together and outside of those amusement parks are restaurants, game places and night clubs. If you aren't interested in amusement parks, but still want to chill and have a great view here is the place to be. Enjoy great drinks and food while in the ambiance of some of the worlds biggest theme parks.
6) Museum Of Illusions - Figure out the world you have been exposed to has hidden potential to see things differently. Here you will see things that trick your confidence and amaze you as you get educated on how science works. 3D photos, walls that make you look smaller than you are and exhibits that make others think you're standing upside down.
7) Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition - See real memorabilia from the wreck site of Titanic. They have 700 memorabilia and artifacts. Here you will take a guided tour with headsets describing the fatal events of April 1912. You will see trained actors, dressed in costumes that recreate scenes from the movie and believed actions on the ship. Explore the 8-foot underwater replica of the ship, showing exactly as it sits now at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
8) Harry Potter World - Inside Universal Studios awaits a whole world for Harry Potter fans. If you purchase a magic wand you will be able to turn on water, make lights flicker and more just by waving your wand. Enjoy the Harry Potter ride that takes you on an adventure through the mysterious journey of catching a bad guy and the fire breathing dragon. On top of the building as you enter the ride is a large fire breathing dragon that goes off every 10-15 minutes.
9) Air Force Fun - Choose a tour ranging from $35-$140 depending on what you want to see. This flight can last 6 minutes to 30 minutes depending on your selection. See the world of Orlando in the sky. Fly over Universal Studios, Disney World and more.
10) Orlando Science Center - Learn while on vacation.....OR not! Either way this place is great for all ages. The Dino Digs is one of my favorite exhibits. It has dinosaur artifacts and fossils to explore. See the huge dinosaur in the middle of the exhibit. Learn about the planet and view the stem cell gallery.
Of course there are a lot more things to do in Orlando, but these are a few of my favorites. Check them out and tell me what you think. The funny thing is I am currently in Orlando enjoying all these amazing attractions. Stay safe, stay focused and stay traveling. Happy Travels.
