Orlando, Florida

A trip to Orlando offers no shortage of things to do. The theme park capital of the world is famously home to the Walt Disney World empire, Universal Orlando Resort, and LEGOLAND Florida. This year, Universal is making major headlines with the opening of Epic Universe — a highly anticipated fourth theme park featuring immersive lands like Super Nintendo World and a new take on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Water parks like Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon and Universal’s Volcano Bay offer welcome ways to cool off. Beyond the big-name attractions, families can also explore the Orlando Science Center, the Central Florida Zoo, and Gatorland — a 110-acre park home to alligators, crocodiles, and zipline adventures. After hours, Orlando’s vibrant restaurant scene and nightlife cater to older family members looking for fun beyond the parks.
