Things To Do
Downtown Orlando
Staying by MCO? You're not too far off from the downtown Orlando area, where there is so much to see and do. Check out the Sunday farmer's market at Lake Eola - or even just check out Lake Eola, it's a beautiful walk (especially with the weather this time of year). You can head further into downtown Orlando and check out the Orlando History Museum, SAK Comedy Club, and the Great Escape Room. In the mood for a drink? Check out some of our favorite bars: Latitude's Rooftop Bar, Casey's on Central, Joysticks Arcade Bar, and Relax Grill.
Park Avenue - Winter Park
Winter Park is one of Central Florida's highlights. Offering an array of boutiques, bars, and restaurants to wander through. Some of our favorites include: Pannullo's Italian Restaurant, 310 Park South, and BurgerFi. There are experiences galore as well: Take a walk through the beautiful lawns, Sample some wine at The Wine Room, take a scenic boat tour, or check out the Morse Museum of American Art!
International Drive Orlando
What can't you find on I-Drive??!! There are a ton of restaurants to choose from, but if we could recommend some of our favorites we would suggest: Tin Roof - standard pub fare and drinks, but they have live bands playing almost round the clock! Mellow Mushroom for some of the freshest pizza you can find in the area. And for an after dinner dessert, check out Steak and Shake for one of their signature milkshakes or malts! There are countless attractions as well! Wonderworks is an incredible upside down interactive museum that provides creative fun for all ages. Take in the full scenery at the highest point on the iconic Orlando Eye and when you're safely back on the ground you can also enjoy Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and the Aquarium (all conveniently under the same roof!). Take a peak at the weird and extraordinary at Ripley's Believe it or Not! Test your skills at Top Golf Orlando. Or get the Andretti experience with some indoor go karting!
Walt Disney World
If you're thinking about making your trip to Orlando a full on vacation, we don't blame you! While Disney can be more for the younger crowd, there is so much to see and do within the Disney area, you could wander around the beautifully redone Disney Springs, try the churros at Marimoto and get a drink at Jock's Hangar, maybe even catch a cover band at the House of Blues!
Universal Studios Orlando
Not in the mood for the kiddie rides at Disney and looking for a little more adrenaline? Treat yourselves to a day at the park and ride some of Orlando's coolest roller coasters and rides. Not a fan of rides and theme parks but still want to experience one of Orlando's highlights? Check in with Blue Man Group and see a show, satisfy your sweet tooth at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium, watch the battling piano players at Pat O'Brian's, or watch some (or participate in) intensely good karaoke at Rising Star!
Airport Area
If you're looking for some restaurants close to the airport, we recommend checking out: Chuy's Tex Mex: They offer a free nacho bar during happy hour Monday - Friday 4:30 to 7:30! Rock and Brews: This place is a great indoor/oudoor spot to munch on pub fare, drink some craft beer, and listen to live music! Marlow's Tavern: They have great flatbreads that pair well with a glass of wine! Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen: Try out their famous onion rings, we promise you won't regret it! Locally, you can also catch a movie at Epic Theaters, get some shopping done at some of the local shops, and if you want to meet us for a drink we're only a 15 minute drive away!
