Tourists are taking advantage of the dozens of deals offering cheap holidays to Florida as an opportunity to pay a visit to the iconic mouse and his gang at the magical world of Disneyland.
But for those of you who are looking for an equally exciting experience without joining the hordes of families bustling about the House Of Mouse, here are three amazing Orlando attractions for all the family to enjoy.
Forever Florida
For an active adventure back to the natural roots of Orlando, Forever Florida offers a wondrous way to take on the thrill of the theme parks with a wilderness twist.
The 4700-acre eco-ranch provides the perfect snapshot of Florida’s local wildlife including alligators, black bears, white-tail deer and the endangered Florida panther.
Whether by treetop canopy cycle, coach, horseback or zipline safari, the four ways to explore the sparkling streams, lush forests and wild wetlands of Forever Florida can tailor your outback adventure to suit your needs.
Kennedy Space Centre
An extraterrestrial day out awaits all budding space cadets as they prepare for lift off at the Kennedy Space Centre’s museums, movies and much more.
The complex’s most notable attraction is it’s breathtaking “rocket garden” – an outdoor display of eight authentic rockets, as well as climb-in Mercury, Gemino and Apollo space capsules for those of you wanting to take your own giant leap for mankind.
With plenty of interesting and entertaining interactive exhibits (including a particularly humorous display hosted by the robots of NASA) as well as bus tours of former shuttle preparation and launch facilities, Kennedy Space Centre is an awe-inspiring alternative day out for the whole family.
The Titanic Experience
Whether you’re a Leo DiCaprio or Kate Winslet, The Titanic Experience situated very near to the flashing lights of Disneyland have revived the genuine Titanic sights and sounds without having to get wet.
Travel back in time to the 1900’s as period-dressed characters guide you through the radiantly recreated rooms of the famous Titanic, containing over 500 unique pieces of memorabilia and artefacts from the well-known shipwreck.
As well as time-ravage treasures including a 3-ton portion of the ship’s hull, the Captain’s wheel and personal belongings from Titanic’s passengers and crew, The Titanic Experience also offers a ghastly ghost tour for those braver land-lubbers.
These tantalising treats are just the tip of the iceberg of what Orlando has to offer outside of Disneyland. Enjoy these amazing Orlando attractions and more on your next vacation.
