Favorite must sees in Orlando ( not theme parks)

2025/3/12 Edited to

... Read moreOrlando is not just about theme parks; it's a vibrant city filled with unique attractions that cater to various interests. If you're looking for alternatives to the usual attractions, consider exploring the Harry P. Leu Gardens, a stunning 50-acre botanical garden that showcases diverse plant species and beautiful landscapes. Another great spot is the Orlando Museum of Art, where you can immerse yourself in both contemporary and traditional art exhibits. For nature lovers, the scenic Wekiwa Springs State Park offers crystal-clear springs for swimming, kayaking, and hiking amidst lush scenery. You can also visit the historic Winter Park, known for its charming canals, boutique shops, and the famous Casa Feliz Historic Home Museum. If you're a food enthusiast, dining at the East End Market is a must, featuring local vendors and fresh produce that celebrate Orlando’s culinary scene. These unique experiences provide a different side of Orlando that many visitors often overlook. By venturing beyond the theme parks, you can enjoy a well-rounded trip that highlights the city’s culture, history, and natural beauty.

my favorite national parks (UTAH)📍🏔️
All of these National parks were AMAZING!! -I would say though that Zion was VERY touristy, and hard to catch a photo without people in the background. Personally, I like to hit places less people travel too! Bryce canyon was definitely my favorite of the three, Arches being a close second!!!
