The Top 10 Things To Do And See In Orlando Florida

Look beyond the Mickey Mouse-themed paraphernalia and Orlando’s true cultural scene comes to the fore. Orlando caters to the active, the inquisitive, the offbeat and the urban explorer, as the city expands and regenerates constantly. Here are Culture Trip’s must-do activities for any new visitor to the city.

Go see the gators (in the wild)

An airboat tour is great way to escape the crowds of Orlando and see the real natural heart of Florida. Spirit of the Swamp operates airboat rides and nature tours of the marshes and swamps of Lake Tohopekaliga, and is about a 30-minute drive outside the city. In these tours you can get up close and personal to Florida’s alligators in the wild, and also see bald eagles, ospreys and wildfowl while speeding through the wetland waterways and tall grass.

1. Orlando Circus School

School

Budding clowns might be tempted to try out the Orlando Circus School and its full roster of classes for adults and children. Some of the more exhilarating classes include the German wheel, trampolining and aerial arts. Proudly railing against any kind of homogeneity in the Orlando cultural scene, the school has been tirelessly promoting and encouraging the unique culture of the circus.

Opening hours: Mon-Fri 9am9pm; Sat 10am-2pm
