Orlando,
FL
It's one of
America's most popular tourist destinations for both Americans
and overseas visitors looking for their day (or several weeks,
thank you) in the sun!
There are
so many family friendly activities besides the fantasy theme
parks of Disney World, Epcot and Universal.
Sea World,
Busch Gardens, or a ride aboard glass bottomed boats give visitors
a rare view into marine and other wildlife.
A day trip
to Gatorland is another way to view one of Florida's most iconic
critters - the awesome alligator - for an up close and personal
encounter with nature's most ferocious predators.
And for man-made
cutting edge technology (yep, this is real rocket science!) your
Orlando trip wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Kennedy
Space Center, to experience a whirlwind tour of fun and discovery
for kids of all ages.
Orlando
on the cheap
If you guessed
that Orlando's major No. 1 industry is travel and tourism, you're
so right! So it always pays to shop around for the best deals
or tour packages that often come complete with airfare, hotel,
meals and admission tickets.
For example,
it may be cheaper to stay in nearby Kissimmee where rates are
lower, but you may save on time and transportation if you stay
on site at one of the bigger attractions. As always, comparison
shopping is usually the best way to find out.
Just up ahead,
check out a virtual look at Orlando, including expert advice and
money-saving tips for planning your stay, with lots of information
and first-hand reviews on Orlando's biggest and most sought-after
attractions ...
