✳ Especially good for: Beyond the theme parks
Orlando is not only about theme parks. Lake Eola Park introduces the downtown lakefront, while Leu Gardens offers a botanical visit a short distance from the central district.
The Orlando Science Center gives families a different indoor option. For a lower-cost day, start with the open public spaces, then decide whether a ticketed garden or science museum is worth adding.
