8 Reasons To Visit Orlando This Winter
Weather
Orlando,
Florida has a temperate climate. In winter months you are almost
assured of daily sunshine. Sometimes it does get a little cooler but
it’s very unusual for it to be cold for too long and temperatures
are usually in the 60’s or 70’s during the daytime and dip to the
high 40’s or low 50’s in the evening.
Theme Parks
Orlando
is the theme park capital of the world. Its three major theme park
operators are Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld but
there are many other smaller attractions to enjoy. You can count the
manatees at Blue Spring State Park or experience Central Florida's
natural beauty on horseback. You can touch an iceberg at Titanic –
The Exhibition or ride in an open-cockpit vintage bi-plane at art
deco aviation museum Fantasy of Flight. You can see the weird and
wild at Ripley's Believe It or Not! Orlando Odditorium or design and
ride your own roller coaster at Wonder Works. For something
completely different then zip along the treetops on an exciting zip
line tour at Forever Florida.
Shopping
Orlando
has some of the very best shopping available in the United States
today. The Mall of Millennia is a favorite among locals, while the
Florida Mall remains extremely popular with visitors. In addition you
can find plenty of bargains at places like Orlando Premium Outlets,
Orlando Prime Outlets and The Loop. You must also make a visit
to Winter Park's “Rodeo Drive” — the eclectic Park Avenue
shopping district.
Dining
For
that culinary experience then Orlando really does tickle the taste
buds. From fine dining to some of the great fast food establishments
you’ll be sure to find something to suit every palate and every
pocket. “Restaurant Row” on Sand Lake Road in the Dr. Phillips
area is an amazing area to visit while other great places to visit
are Winter Park and the Mall of Millennia area and if you’d like to
sample some wine, then visit the locally made wines at Lakeridge
Winery.
Sport
Getting
outside for a game of golf or tennis is a great way to spend some
time in the winter. Orlando was recently voted the “North American
Golf Destination of the Year 2010” and is home to over 176 of the
finest golf courses you’ll find on the planet. If you want to watch
some great golf then the PGA Disney Classic is held every year at the
Walt Disney World resort while Arnold Palmer hosts the Bay Hill
Classic. You can also catch the Atlanta Braves' spring baseball
training at the ESPN Wide World of Sports®
Complex and tennis buffs can improve their game and enjoy some great
facilities at The Orlando Tennis Center. You can also learn to
water-ski at the Orlando Watersports Complex or Lake Buena Vista
Water Sports.
Culture

is becoming increasingly well known for its culture. From interesting
museums through to great shows and theater productions you’ll be
sure to appreciate the finer things in life. Marvel at Tiffany glass
at The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park or
experience the serenity of nature as you stroll through the lush,
vibrant gardens at Harry P. Leu Gardens. You can take an art class at
Crealdé School of Art or Maitland Art Cente or enjoy a carillon
