Things to Do in Orlando, Florida

Mickey Mouse has turned Orlando into the third-ranking US destination for overseas travellers, after Los Angeles and New York City.

John F. Kennedy Space Center
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is open every day - exept December 25 - from 9 a.m. to dusk. Kennedy Space Center is located 45 minutes east of Orlando. Nowhere else can you see, touch and hear more about the workings of America's space-craft built to travel to the moon more than 30 years ago. Present-day missions help support the International Space Station and will blaze a trail for future exploration of other planets.

Universal Studios
Orlando's Universal Studios is a combination working movie studio and theme park. What this means essentially is that you can admire stars from afar and live vicariously through them. Some of the trademark attractions include Terminator 2: 3D, a spectacular 3D experience where you get to be Ahhhhnold, and Back to the Future, with phenomenal special effects.

SeaWorld
A combination amusement park, aquarium and beer garden, SeaWorld is fine family entertainment. If you like leaping dolphins, sliding sea lions and crashing whales, you're in for a treat. Highlights include the Kraken roller-coaster, dolphin nursery, Terrors of the Deep aquarium and the ever-popular otters. SeaWorld Animal Rescue Team rescue endangered manatees and restore them to health. It has one of the best animal rescue outfits in the country, and the team is partially funded by park admissions.

Walt Disney World
This is a self-contained city. Apart from the four main parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios and Animal Kingdom), there are three water parks, a shopping district, 22 hotels, countless eateries, a police force, transport systems, medical centres, even kennels for the pooch. Watch out for the mouse. In its first year, Disney World saw over 10 million visitors, and it remains one of the world's top tourist destinations, now attracting more than 20 million visitors a year. It's also the world's biggest amusement resort, covering an area twice the size of New York's Manhattan.
