Orlando, FL

The city beautiful

With a bustling foodie scene and theme parks galore, there are plenty of things to do in Florida’s most-visited city.

TAKE A BITE OF ORLANDO

No matter what you like to eat, Orlando has a delicious excess of options for you to try. You’ll find everything from decked out restaurants to tasty holes-in-the-wall to beloved chains that got their start in Central Florida.

Themed Dining

The land of theme parks doesn’t disappoint when it comes to dining. Try Toothsome Chocolate Emporium for a unique steampunk experience or Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue for a western dinner show.

Local Favorite

Eat as the locals do. Hit up Tako Cheena for Asian fusion, Se7en Bites for southern comfort, The Ravenous Pig for locally sourced cuisine, and Gideon’s Bakehouse for the Best. Cookies. Ever.

Homegrown Chains

Some places have a cult following, but none more so than 4Rivers Smokehouse (hint: order the burnt ends). Other community favorites include Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, Graffiti Junktion, and Hawkers Asian Street Fare.

Theaters & Museums

Theaters

From headline tours and Broadway shows to family-friendly screenings and live comedy, Orlando has something for everyone.

Museums

Hands-on fun, rotating art exhibitions, and vintage collections — art lovers of all ages are spoiled for choice in Central Florida.

Lake Eola Farmers Market

It’s where outdoor yoga, swan-boat rides, fresh produce, and puppy play dates collide. You’ll find fun in full bloom every Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. in at Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando. The weekly event at Lake Eola is an absolute must-do, outdoor event.

Orlando Brewing

Orlando Brewing is a no-frills taproom south of downtown boasting 24 taps along one wall. Go when the free brewery tour is offered to learn about the passion and the process that goes into creating craft beer.

East End Market

Welcome to Orlando’s best indoor, seven-day-a-week farmers market! East End is packed with amazing vendors that supply everything from cold brews to local eats to sinful treats.

Park Avenue

Park Avenue in Winter Park is filled with local restaurants and shops. Most of the restaurants have outside seating, so it’s fun to sit, eat, and people-watch. You'll also find some of the best eateries in town.

Explore the Great Outdoors

Harry P. Leu Gardens

Stop and smell the roses (literally) as you stroll through Leu Gardens. The beautifully cultivated grounds are home to over 40 diverse plant collections from around the world. Highlights include a tropical rainforest, butterfly garden, and awe-inspiring forests of camphor trees, elms, and 200-year-old oaks.

Wekiwa Springs State Park

Beat the Florida heat with a day trip to Wekiwa Springs State Park. Explore the nature trails before cooling off at the swimming hole. Rent a kayak or canoe to explore the Wekiva River, then paddle yourself all the way to a crystal-clear, 72-degree spring for swimming and snorkeling.

Bok Tower Gardens

Pack up the car for a visit to Bok Tower Gardens. Enjoy a hike through the gardens and be sure to stop by the famous Singing Tower, one of the few Carillons in the world. Plus, keep your eyes peeled — you may be lucky enough to sight a few of the garden’s 126 different species of birds.

Orlando Watersports Complex

Wakeboarding, stand-up paddleboarding, and an Aquapark with floating obstacle courses? Check, yes! Make your way to OWC for some of the best lake-borne action Orlando can deliver. No special skills are required, life jackets are provided, and hours of fun are guaranteed.
