When it comes to attractions, there’s so much more to Orlando than the big theme parks. Areas like International Drive and Kissimmee offer lots of places to explore and get lost in the wonder of it all. Play tourist for a day, a weekend or even a week, and explore these other gems right in our own backyard.
Before theme parks took over, tourists flocked to Florida for tropical beauty, small towns, unique wildlife, clear springs, and to get a glimpse of the final frontier: space travel. Don’t miss these “Old Florida” attractions beyond Orlando that have been drawing visitors for decades.
