Things To Do
Enzian Theater
Maitland is home to the only full-time independent cinema in Central Florida. Opened in 1985, the Enzian Theater started out as a repertory theater showing classic movies. Things have evolved over the last 40+ years, and now you can watch first-run independent movies, as well as plenty of older movies, from Golden Age Hollywood to cult classics. Food is at the heart of the experience, courtesy of the Eden Bar, and table service adds a touch of luxury. As a regional hub for independent cinema, this theater stages a lot of festivals throughout the year. The standout is the Florida Film Festival in April, an Oscar-qualifying festival dating back more than three decades.
Wild Florida Drive-thru Safari Park
YOUR SAFARI ADVENTURE WILL BE THE WILDEST CAR RIDE YET. Travel down gravel paths within Drive-thru Safari Park and discover more than 150 native and exotic animals roaming freely. During your journey, you’ll have the opportunity to observe a variety of animals often only found around the world. Enjoy identifying species from as far away as the African savanna to others from the deciduous forests of North America, all from the comfort of your own car. (*Please note that your vehicle must have a top. Convertibles or motorcycles are not allowed.) Expanding across 170 acres of untouched scenic landscapes, the wildlife and safari park presents a unique opportunity to bring you up close and personal with wild animals such as giraffes, zebra, eland antelope, scimitar oryx, American bison, mouflon sheep, and more! As you travel down our four-mile “unbeaten path,” you and your family can enjoy an exploration just feet away from animals you normally only see on TV.
SeaWorld Orlando
Discover the world of aquatics at SeaWorld Orlando, the interactive park that lets you be a part of the action. Enjoy a variety of one-of-a-kind animal experiences at SeaWorld Orlando including feeding dolphins, viewing killer whales and more. Explore the exciting world of marine animals in a way you’ve never experienced before during all-new animal presentations. From record-breaking roller coasters as Orlando's Coaster Capital to the kid-friendly rides of Sesame Street Land™, guests of all ages can enjoy attractions for every thrill level. You’ll always find something fun going on at SeaWorld. From free live concerts to events fit for foodies to festive holiday celebrations. SeaWorld Orlando welcomes visitors from anywhere in the world.
Maitland Farmer's Market
The city has a vibrant farmers’ market, taking place every Sunday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm along Independence Lane downtown. Some of the items that caught my eye were raw honey, straight from the honeycomb, and delicious fresh kettle corn. In addition to amazing seasonal produce, arts and crafts, and health and body products, there’s weekly live entertainment. This is an all-around fun community event that I can’t recommend enough. If you’re from colder climes like me, you’ll be amazed by the Christmas themed events in December, at a time when farmers’ markets are normally in the middle of a long winter break.
