Disney-free Attractions in Orlando

By: Mathilda Riesland

There are plenty of things to see and do around Orlando that do not involve cleaning out your wallet at Disney World. We have picked out a range of fun activities and attractions that are guaranteed to keep kids entertained, and what is more, they are totally free of charge!

An antidote to the crazed hustle and bustle of Disney World, the Kissimmee World of Orchids glasshouse is sure to amaze. With over 2500 square meters of conservatory packed full of vivid and beautiful orchids, as well as other exotic plant species from around the globe, a visit it to the World of Orchids is worth it for the aroma alone.

A must-see for culture vultures is the Albin Polasek Sculpture Gardens and Museum. This fine museum collection shuts up shop every summer for refurbishment, but the astounding sculptures in the sculpture garden are open all year round and provide a fun and cultural day out in the sunshine.

A stroll through the Harry P. Leu Gardens of downtown Orlando will help you to get your groove back after a day spent in the bustling city. Relax in the rose garden, or evening garden, stroll down its specially designated pathways, and let the kids enjoy the butterfly garden.

Florida is an area of astounding natural beauty, and if you want to experience it first hand then a trip to the Ocala National Forest is a great place to start. From canoeing to biking, swimming to picnics, there are a variety of outdoor activities on offer. Or you can opt to explore the beautiful forests, swamps and springs on foot, with over 60 miles of the Florida Trail to choose from.

For a relaxing day out in the city, the downtown Lake Eola Park is a haven. The park stretches for 43 acres and affords fantastic views over the city, as well as walking paths, playgrounds for children, fountains and swans to feed, as well as swan-shaped paddle boats available for hire!

If you are looking for some bargain shopping in a unique atmosphere then Fleaworld is the place for you! Just north of Orlando is where you will find the biggest flea market in all of America. More than 1000 vendors gather here every weekend and you will find fun family entertainment at the neighbouring Funworld too.

You might think that the presence of Disney means that Orlando does not have the room for other amusement parks, but you have not reckoned with Old Town. This unique amusement park has rides and shops aplenty. On Thursday nights you will find more than 600 motorbikes on parade through its streets and there is free live entertainment every night of the week. Nostalgia-buffs will love Saturdays when there is a huge vintage car parade, and the only music that gets played is from the 50s and 60s.
