You are probably aware that Orlando vacations revolve around theme parks, but this beautiful city has much more to offer the visitor than just thrilling rides. Orlando has many churches, museums, parks, markets and unusual tourist attractions to keep the most determined visitor happy. Everything a visitor could possibly want is here and the reason why people return year after year.

It is a great place to visit even if you only have shopping on your mind as Orlando area is full of beautiful shopping malls, restaurants and shops of every type. An Orlando vacation has far more to offer than this short article can possibly hope to highlight so only a few of the more unusual attractions and places to see are brought to your attention.

Starting out as a Sanford Fire Department collection the Central Florida Zoological Park zoo is home to more than 400 animals. Started for the preservation of exotic animals the zoo has a charity status.

For anyone that appreciates the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany then a large collection of his works is exhibited the Museum of American Art, where it has been housed since the early 1940's. This is the place to visit for Tiffany art lover's with the largest display anywhere in the world, including paintings, jewelry, pottery, glass and ornaments.

Whilst it may seem that Orlando has been created for the entertainment of children that could not be further from the truth as there is plenty here for everyone. For people that prefer the night, the list of things to do on an Orlando vacation is almost endless with families, teenagers and adults all well looked after.

Another of the major attractions is the Orlando Science Center. It's the biggest of its kind in the Southeast with its four-story center. It offers visitors a glimpse from the dry plains of Mars to the Florida swamplands to the dry plains of Mars with 10 exhibit halls. For trolley and train enthusiasts there is the International Trolley and Train Museum (ITTM). This place houses fourteen model trains that run throughout the building and actually houses a working waterfall.

For something a little different there's the Titanic Exhibition which tells the story of the ill fated Ocean Liner performed by a character from the ship; the displays contain some original salvaged items and at times the tour is very moving. Away from all the hustle is the wonderful Lake Eola Park in the heart of downtown; it has beautiful sidewalks in over forty acres where it is possible to spend a few peaceful hours.

Now you couldn't possibly visit Orlando without a trip to the numerous theme parks including Disney World, Universal Studios and of course not to forget the fantastic Seaworld. If you are on you first Orlando vacation, try to visit all the major attractions first because it is almost certain you will return again another year.
