Orlando boasts theme parks and recreations tailor-made for people from all walks of life – families, couples, singles, and retirees alike. As the capital of thrills, excitement, and non-stop fun, Orlando showcases Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, star-studded MGM, Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure. But leisure time encompasses more than just theme-park excitement, and traditional favorites like Gatorland and SeaWorld feature unusual animals and attention-grabbing shows led by professional trainers. The refined neighborhood also offers both classy and casual restaurants, nightclubs, and shops.

Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom Park and Walt Disney World are not one and the same. The Magic Kingdom Park is, however, one of Walt Disney World's foremost highlights. It consists of seven different lands, including Main Street USA, Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square and Toontown Fair; each of these exciting realms brings a different figment of the imagination to life. In this fantasyland, children are able to safari in an African jungle, interact with Pluto and Donald Duck and embark on adventures in a world that existed hundreds of years ago.

Universal

This park has recreated a variety of movie sets and rides from comedy to horror, all of which have been tailored to give the guest the feeling of being in specific events from movies. "Twister," "Jaws," "Back to the Future" and "Terminator 2" are a few of the ultra-fun exhibits worth trying. There is something for everyone here.

MGM Studios

Discover what it's really like to be on the set of a television show or a motion picture. Disney-MGM Studios provides a back stage look at TV and movie productions as well as radio broadcasts and the making of animated programs. One of the best parts about this theme park is that it isn't all just for show, as the facilities are entirely functional.

The Wells' Built Museum

Built in 1926 to accommodate segregated African Americans, the original Wells' Built Hotel now operates as a museum and features a wide range of exhibits on African American history, photographic displays, original hotel documents and more.

Millenia Fine Art Collection

Millenia Fine Art Collection showcases the contemporary works of over 25 artists in a variety of mediums. Visitors can view collections of glassworks, photography, sculpture, lenticulars, bronze seating pieces and paintings.

Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex

Visitors can take in amateur and professional sporting events at Disney's 220 acre (89 ha) Wide World of Sports Complex. Home to spring training for the Atlanta Braves, the complex also boasts a tennis complex, a track and field and cross country course and a multi-purpose complex which hosts basketball, wrestling and other sporting events.
