Orlando, and the rest of Florida, has plenty to offer all holiday makers, from the thrills of the busy theme parks to the pleasant afternoons shopping in the malls, or the excitement of a pro level sporting fixture or an airboat ride in the Everglades.

Further details for all attractions can be gained by clicking the pictures for links to the official home pages.

Disney World

Orlando's obvious favourite attraction, for children and grown-ups alike, is Disneyworld.  Disneyworld hosts 4 fantastic theme parks, and 3 water parks, enough to fill any holiday on it's own.  Many deals are offered to allow everyone to enjoy it all.

Universal Studios is another one of Orlando's famous theme parks.  It hosts 2 theme parks, based on Universal Studio movies.  The original Universal Studios theme park allows you to see inside a real film studio and experience many film based rides, whereas Islands of Adventure is packed with many rides for young theme park goers and thrill seekers alike.

Sea World
Seaworld is a totally unique experience for a great day out.  It is essentially a large aquarium with a large variety of fascinating exotic sealife, and amazing tours and shows throughout the day.  However, it has the added bonus of a world class roller coaster and log flume.


Opposite Sea World is discovery cove, one of Orlando's newest, exciting and favourite holiday attractions.  Here visitors can swim with dolphins, snorkel through coral reefs and under a picturesque waterfall and swim down a tropical river, all in one place.

Busch Gardens


Tampa Bay offers Busch Gardens, a theme park which boasts some of North America's record breaking rollercoasters, and a large, primarily based, African zoo, allowing you to see many animals you would only dream of seeing on a safari all in one day and at cut price.


Kennedy Space Centre is on the east coast of Florida, easily reached by car from Orlando.  The KSC visitor centre allows you to enjoy the rocket garden, IMAX movies and space exhibits, a full size walk-through Space Shuttle display, the Apollo/Saturn V facility and astronaut hall of fame.  Space shuttle launches can even be viewed there to make your holiday even more memorable.
