The Orlando Science Centeris an engaging and interactive museum that encourages the discovery of new and exciting scientific and technological concepts for the whole family. There is a planetarium with a telescope, an IMAX theater that plays educational films, and a laser light show. The center of the museum displays an impressive giant tree that goes up four floors and is reminiscent of those that can be found in Florida’s wetlands. They also welcome those that are over 21 with exclusive evening experiences, such as the “Science of Wine” community event hosted in the museum’s outer balcony.

Orlando Shakespeare Theater

Museum, Park, Theater, University

The Orlando Shakespeare Theater is one of its kind in the area because of its specialization in Shakespearian tales. However, the theater also presents quality new plays, musicals and even children’s shows. The theater has a partnership with local college University of Central Florida and when a customer purchases a ticket all the funds go to supporting the arts and enriching the creative community in Orlando. Don’t forget to check out the terrace in the back, which leads to the Firehouse Musuem. This hidden gem is home to a collection of old firetrucks. Amazing!

The escape room concept is taking America by storm! Based on the video game format, The Great Escape Room in Orlando sees customers have to attempt to get out of a room in under sixty minutes. Customers can either work alongside friends or strangers in order to find clues that will lead to the solution of the intriguing puzzle and realise their release. Unfortunately, only 20% of teams manage to escape the room in the allotted amount of time. This is the perfect team-building activity with its unique mix of strategy and scavenger hunting.
