Things To Do
King's Landing
Nicknamed the "Emerald Cut" for its crystal clear water, King's landing is a beautiful river shaded by many trees that leads to a spring. Great place to kayak, canoe, or paddle board. We have seen otters, deer, turtles, birds and all sorts of wildlife while there. If you chose to do this while in town, be sure to book your kayak rental far in advance because they do sell out quickly and admission is limited. It is about 30 minutes from the wedding venue.
Orlando Farmers' Market
Huge farmers market every Sunday from 10 AM to 3 PM right in the heart of downtown Orlando surrounding Lake Eola. Stop by the Flourishing Spot tent to see where we love to buy new houseplants! There is also a playground, swan boats, and many bars and restaurants in the area. There is a some type of festival happening almost every weekend there.
Sixty Vines
Large selection of wines and a great location for brunch or dinner!
Maxine's On Shine
Our anniversary dinner spot! A smaller more intimate venue with the best lobster ravioli! Also a great place for weekend brunch with live music. Be sure to make a reservation in advance.
The Guesthouse
Great place to grab some cocktails while in town. It is a chic, plant-filled bar located in the Mills 50 area and is within walking distance of many bars, restaurants, and breweries. Check out Alfie's across the street as well! It is 10 minutes from the wedding venue.
Burton's Thornton Park
October is football season. If you are looking for a good place to catch the games, go to Burton's in Thornton Park. It is a dive bar with many TVs, darts, pool and food next door.
Universal Epic Universe
New theme park that just opened in May of 2025. It features Harry Potter World, Super Mario Brothers, How to Train Your Dragon and more. Make sure to get your tickets in advance!
Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Orlando
10 Haunted houses, scare zones and rides! It lasts the whole month of October. A fun time but may be too scary for young children. Make sure to buy tickets in advance if you plan to attend.
Renaissance Theatre Company
During October the theater puts on a performance of Nosferatu. It is an immersive experience where you walk around the different sets in the warehouse as performers act out scenes in each room. The performances are different in each of the rooms at any given time. The scenes are all based on a vampire storyline just in time for Halloween. This is NOT SUITABLE for children. Alcohol is also served inside the theater. Unforgettable show. They sell out quickly so buy your tickets in advance.
Orlando Kart Center
Seth's favorite place for go karting! Long track with carts up to 45 mph.
