Orlando Florida is America's premier vacation spot for fun. Home to some of the world's best theme parks, there are also numerous other attractions such as great restaurants, shopping, golf courses, lakes and more. Enjoying a family vacation in Orlando Florida is an experience of a lifetime.
If New York is for the urbane, and California is for the fun-loving then Orlando Florida is definitely for the family. The central location of Orlando makes it easy for you and your family to go beyond the standard theme park trips and to visit both the east and west coast of Florida, both of which you can reach within 40 minutes or so.
Hundreds of thousands of people vacation in Orlando every year; many come for the entertainment. Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World and Animal Kingdom are just a few of the theme parks located here. Everyone is a kid when it comes to the theme-parks, and trying to figure out which ride to take next, or which show to take in later becomes your only worry.
While the major Orlando entertainment parks are the magnet, along with their non-stop nightlife and linked attractions, there is no shortage of other Orlando highlights and attractions. Theaters, parks, restaurants, museums, shopping, golfing, anything you could want is here. State parks and national forests dot the landscape north of Orlando and huge lakes lie in wait to the south, providing opportunities for hiking, trail riding, camping, fun on the water and bush walking.
Orlando is home to more than 95 attractions; 300 lakes, springs and rivers; 150 golf courses; 800 tennis courts; over 50 million square feet of shopping space; more than 115,000 rooms in luxury resorts, themed hotels and economy motels; 4,500 restaurants and 180 annual special events.
Downtown Orlando has a vibrant nightlife, with over 40 bars, restaurants and nightclubs within a three or four block radius of the intersection of Central Avenue and Orange Avenues.
Orlando is bang in the middle of Central Florida which is defined as a "band" that stretches across the Florida peninsula between the gulf coast towns of Cedar Key and Punta Gorda across to the Atlantic coastal towns of Daytona and Vero Beach. Central Florida has fabulous weather all-year round, with mild winters, and hot, sunny summer months, so you will almost always be able to enjoy the great outdoors while your family is on vacation here. Florida also has 150 golf courses in the area making it the perfect golf vacation destinations.
Visitors to the central Florida area will also find plentiful shopping and dining outside of the Orlando area in towns such Winter Park and Altamonte Springs.
Overall a florida holiday vacation can be a very memorable experience.
