Spaaaaace! About an hour drive away, Kennedy Space Center is well-worth the visit and can take a full day to see it all, if you have the time.

A lovely park right in the city center, Lake Eola is a pleasant place for a stroll. Rent a paddle boat, feed the famous Lake Eola swans, or check out the weekend farmer’s market

A beautiful beach and a national park on NASA land, an hour east of Orlando. Great place to catch a rocket launch!

Transporte
Driving in Orlando
Our public transportation is unfortunately not up to par with places like New York City, so renting a car or utilizing Uber / Lyft is your best choice. Traffic can become quite congested during rush hours, and purchasing a SunPass or EZPass to utilize the toll roads is strongly recommended.

Disney Merchandise
Want to bring a little Mickey Magic home with you? Skip the in-park purchases! Nearly every store here has licensed Disney and Universal merchandise for lower prices, and specialized outlets just for that can be found on every corner.

See a rocket launch!
Where else can you see a rocket leave earth’s atmosphere with a brilliant burning glow and a sonic boom felt for miles away? Check out the Kennedy Space Center website or download the app “next Spaceflight” to see a schedule of launches. With multiple companies venturing into space, there can be launches as often as several times a week! The town of Titusville provides the best vantage points, and my personal recommendations for viewing are Sand Point Park, the Max Brewer Parkway, and Playalinda beach.
Como economizar
Using a rental car
Need to fill up with gas before you return your rental car? Fill up locally- NOT right next to the MCO airport, where prices are often artificially inflated.
