When visiting Orlando a lot of people do go for the Disney World attraction, however you must realise that there is a lot more to this magical place than just theme parks. However everybody should think about some of the other locations in and around Orlando as well. Consider these American holidays as well:
Some of these resorts are huge and are amazing places to visit. Gatorland is a fun adventure park in Orlando and has a 110 acre park. This is an amazing location, and although it is obvious what is here, there are some amazing things to see. There are over 1000 crocodiles and alligators at this Park. If you want to see something more exciting than marine life in Sea World, then you should visit this place, the Alligators will send shivers down your spine. At the alligator enclosure, you will find some very interesting happenings, there will be alligator wrestling and feedings, and talks about the alligators themselves.
There is the Kennedy Space Centre. Because this Centre is so well known it does not need much of an introduction, it is definitely for the people who want to see what Houston control is really like. If you have never been and you are lucky enough to arrive first time with a rocket on the platform you should really take in the experience. Not all rocket launches have gone as planned, one of the Apollo rockets being a famous example. If you go on the bus tour, which is highly recommended, you will see crocodiles all over the place, this is because they cannot be removed from their natural environment. The Mirror Memorial for the astronauts that have lost their lives is quite stunning.
The Silver Springs are another inspiring location. They are one of the largest artesian springs in the world and contain some amazing wildlife. It is possible to go on one of the Glass bottomed boat tours so that you can visit the wildlife under the water and see how clear everything is. Much like all of the other resorts in Florida this one too has a small theme park as well. These three locations are Great Orlando Holidays destinations.
Holidays like Las Vegas holidays have over shadowed these kinds of holidays and that shouldn’t really be the case when you have places like these to visit.
