The increasing availability of cheap flights to Orlando has made the surrounding area a popular tourist destination for those drawn by the call of such famous household name attractions as Universal, SeaWorld and, of course, Walt Disney World. The vistor from overseas may not appreciate that the area offers many other, less well-known attractions. I will write about 5 of them now.

Sea World is, of course, hugely popular but Gatorland offers a chance to get to know some of Florida’s freshwater wildlife. First opened in’49 this theme park and wildlife reserve offers the chance to get to know alligators and crocodiles in close-up. Thousands of our toothy friends live in Gatorland which includes educational facilities and a breeding marsh. You can watch wresting shows while you are there.

Would you like to do visit a theme park that is totally unique? Consider the Holy Land Experience, a theme park and museum aiming to completely immerse you in biblical times. Careful reconstructions of ancient streets and lifelike re-enactments of key bibical scened add to the experience. Many people will find a visit to this theme park an educational, enjoyable and deeply moving day although some may feel that it is an attempt to cash in on religion for profit.

The historic marble tower and botanical gardens at Bok Tower Gardens (near Lake Wales) are an ideal destination for those who love nature. Founded as a bird reserve by Edward Bok in’21, the gardens provide a habitat for over one hundred species of birds as well as a variey of other wildlife. The carillon bells in the Singing Tower are rung daily and fill the gardens with music.

If you are a comedy fan on vacation on Orlando then make sure you visit the SAK Comedy Lab in central Orlando, famous for improvisational comedy and theatre. Watch two teams improvising against each other in the long running “Duel of Fools” show or catch up with one of the seasonal shows throughout the year. Past productions include “Fourplay: The Improvised Musical” – a humorous Broadway send up and game shows.

Medieval Times (found across the US) offers that quintessentially American tourist experience, the medieval re-enactment. Whilst you eat your “royal” banquet in a corner of this dinner theatre, styled as a mock up medieval castle, you will be entertained by medieval sword fights and jousting. You will be invited to through your support behind a knight and root for him as he battles bravely.
