You've visited the major parks, now what ??

You've visited the headline Orlando attractions:-
Disney's Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom & Pleasure Island;
Universal's Studios, Islands of Adventure & Citywalk;
Sea World,  Discovery Cove, the new Aquatica water park & Busch Gardens (at Tampa).
You've been well washed at Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, Wet & Wild & Adventure Island.
You've shopped at Premium Outlet, The Florida Mall, Mall at Millennia & the Mercado, (to name just a few...) explored International Drive from end to end, been to evening dinner - shows at Medieval Times, Arabian Nights, & Pirates .
Gone further afield on daytrips to Kennedy Space Center, Silver Springs & visited the Gulf Coast beaches,
But still need to fill that odd half-day!

There are many attractions in & around Kissimmee not quite so well advertised or well known as Disney or Universal but, never the less, well worth a visit.
Try any of these links for further information...

An airboat ride could blow away the cobwebs: try Boggy Creek Airboats or, a little further away, the poetically named Kissimmee Swamp Tours (actually pretty good)...

A World of Orchids, on Old Lake Wilson Rd. has some beautiful natural exhibits, a large glass-house & a boardwalk through some 'original' Florida landscape.

Try Gatorland on South Orange Blossom Trail to meet some of the original inhabitants of the locality !

The Holy Land Experience will take you back to the time of Christ in an interactive way...

If you're up to a 6am start, you could try Orange Blossom Balloons by Days Inn on the 192 - they often fly directly over our villa...You never know, you could wave to yourself !!!

For tinys & those into fluffy critters, Green Meadows Petting Farm on Poinciana Blvd. could be the thing.

These are all within a few minutes drive of our villa & are only an idea for alternative venues!

A little further away, but well worth a visit, Fantasy of Flight maintain a working museum of airplanes.
In the same direction are Cypress Gardens, beautiful ornamental gardens with a small zoo, water ski demos & coasters for the youngsters.

Within daytrip distance are Mount Dora, a small 'olde worlde' town with some interesting antique shops, Winter Park with the Tiffany glass museum, boat rides and Squirrel park or St. Augustine, reputedly the oldest city in America, originally settled by the Spanish ('though the Indians got there first!)....

 Further afield are Miami, the Everglades, the Florida Keys & ultimately Key West. Really not daytrip distances, if you want to explore that far South, consider either a multi-centre holiday or overnight lodgings.
