On our trip to Orlando over the summer we had free tickets to Gatorland that we received when we booked our theme park tickets through Orlando Attraction Tickets. So, we found a day to spend at Gatorland and we’re so glad we went.
Days Out and Attractions/Events
Winter Park Chain of Lakes Scenic Boat Tour Review
When we went on holiday to Florida we wanted some time away from the theme parks. One morning we started off at Lake Eola Park, hiring a pedalo and exploring the farmer’s market before heading over to Winter Park for their Scenic Boat Ride.
A Day at Aquatica Orlando
When we were in Florida we booked a Discovery Cove package that included tickets to Seaworld Orlando, Aquatica and Busch Gardens Tampa. We couldn’t wait to go to Aquatica as it looked like a fantastic water park that the whole family would love.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Review
On our trip to Florida this summer we mainly spent time in and around Orlando but our Discovery Cove package came with tickets to all the Seaworld parks including Busch Gardens and Aquatica so it seemed only right to take a trip to Busch Gardens to see what all the fuss was about.
Dog Man The Musical Review
When we went to Florida in August, I randomly came across theatre tickets to Dog Man The Musical online and quickly realised it was a US tour and not coming to the UK. The children are huge fans of the Dog Man and Captain Underpants books – anything Dav Pilkey and so it felt like we just had to go and see the show as it was on in Florida when we were there.
A Birthday Day Out at Beale Wildlife Park
For LP’s birthday at the end of August we went on a family day out to Beale Wildlife Park. It’s somewhere we loved when the children were tiny but haven’t really been back since Little Man started nursery so it was lovely to visit again.
Titanic The Artifact Exhibition Orlando Review
One thing I really wanted to do when we were in Florida was go to Titanic The Artifact Exhibition. It had been around when we last visited Florida but the children were much younger so we didn’t visit. This time though we made the trip – and really enjoyed it.
Enjoying Lake Eola Park Swan Boat Rentals
In our quest to spend some time away from the theme parks when we were in Orlando, we ventured out one morning to downtown Orlando. We started our day at the historic Lake Eola Park where there was a farmer’s market in full swing and we were able to park easily right next to the park.
Ripley’s, Believe it or Not! Orlando Review
Disclosure: We were invited on this day out for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.
Our recent holiday to Orlando, Florida called for some time away from the big attractions to catch our breath with a slower pace. Having previously visited the now closed Ripley’s, Believe it or Not! in London, we were keen to let the children experience something strange and weird that they would always remember. They are already fans of the brand with annuals at Christmas and so many books and so they were super excited to experience some of Rob Ripley’s world famous oddities in person at Ripley’s, Believe it or Not! Orlando.
Museum of Illusions Orlando Review
Disclosure: We were invited on this day out for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own.
On our recent epic three week holiday to Orlando, Florida, we were keen to see more than just the normal kind of tourist theme parks and well known attractions. Having previously been to Florida in 2018, we knew that there would be many quirky attractions and one such place was Museum of Illusions Orlando at ICON Park that we were invited to check out.
