With all-year-round sun and a load of activities for all ages, Orlando is an ideal family destination that caters to kids and parents alike. Delta is launching a new route this winter that flies directly from London Heathrow four times a week, so it’s never been easier to escape for some winter sun to a place that the whole family can enjoy.
A trip to Orlando is incomplete without a trip to Walt Disney World Resort. Whether you’re a Disney fan or not, this magical kingdom is guaranteed to take your breath away and help create unforgettable family memories.
The mammoth resort is made up of four huge theme parks, two impressive water parks, as well as a massive dining and shopping district with lots of food and retail options for a memorable day.
The resort also has over twenty on-site Disney-owned hotels, so you don’t even need to leave the park at the end of the day. There are so many shows to watch and immersive experiences to participate in, too. Your days will be jam-packed with family-fuelled fun!
Universal Orlando Resort is famous for its Jurassic Park and Harry Potter-themed parks that are ideal for those who are fans of the world-renowned movie franchises. There are themed rides, shops and dining areas that’ll help you feel fully immersed in the blockbuster atmospheres.
There is an area called Universal’s Volcano Bay where adults can unwind and relax by lounging by the tranquil wave pool. The pool has a towering volcano tower that provides shade and rest from the scorching sun for extra relaxation.
It is the perfect place to go to in the resort if you fancy a break from the fun-filled activities and want to cool down for a bit of the day.
If you’re looking for a more relaxing experience after all the action-packed fun of the resorts, then you will enjoy a visit to Winter Park. Gorgeous architecture and history come together in one place for a truly peaceful and calming experience.
Winter Park offers scenic boat tours that take you through the lakes and byways of the area, allowing you to catch a glimpse of the surrounding wildlife and historic homes. The tour is approximately an hour long and allows you to bring your own food and drink so you can really enjoy your time on the lake.
If you’re at Winter Park on Saturday, then be sure to check out the farmer’s market that takes place every Saturday from 8am to 1pm. It is located at Central Park West Meadow, hosting a load of tasty treats, from fresh fish to homegrown fruit and veg.
Fancy getting up, close and personal with some sea life? Then you must spend a day at Discovery Cove. It is an all-inclusive water park that is home to tropical fish, sharks, rays and dolphins. You can swim with all of them whilst basking in Florida’s soaring sun.
The good thing about Discovery Cove is that they only let in a certain number of visitors a day, so you have the opportunity to get more things done in a less crowded setting.
They also have a number of add-on experiences such as swimming with sharks and morning flamingo walks that are sure to elevate your experience and make your day there extra special and memorable.
