About Orlando

Orlando is the theme-park heart of central Florida, ringed by famous resorts, water parks and wildlife, with lakes and clear springs to cool off in.

The city's fame rests on its theme parks. Walt Disney World spreads across four parks southwest of town, from the Magic Kingdom's fairy-tale castle to Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. Universal Orlando adds movie-themed thrill rides and immersive themed lands, and SeaWorld and a string of water parks complete the circuit.

Top-ranked sights in Orlando: Clearwater Beach, WonderWorks Orlando, Kennedy Space Center.
