Grown Up Fun in Orlando
Orlando, Florida can be a magical vacation for kids, but what about the grown ups? Is there anything to do in Orlando that is geared toward older visitors? You bet there is!
Orlando has a full slate of action-packed and entertaining rides, shows and experiences that grown-ups will love and enjoy. Here are just a few of the many options adults have in Orlando.
The Trainer-for-the-Day program at Gatorland allows visitors the opportunity to get as close as they want to huge alligators or crocodiles. This is not for the weak at heart. It will be your job to work with the Gatorland staff as they feed, train and interact with rare and amazing gators and crocs. Bring your camera because your friends back home will not believe you did this!
Universal Orlando Resort offers two distinct theme park experiences that will be of interest to adults. You can begin by actually living the movies at Universal Studios Florida where you will feel like you have stepped into scenes from your favorite films and television shows. Some of the choices you have include: “Jaws”, “I Love Lucy”, “The Mummy” and even “Shrek”.
For a wonderful and peaceful experience outdoors, consider taking in the Maharajah Jungle Trek or the Pangani Forest Expedition Trail at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park. Another great option is to visit the exotic animals on the Kilimanjaro Safaris, twist and turn on the Kali River Rapids, or travel back in time to go face-to-face with a dinosaur.
Visit Epcot and see what discovery is all about. Discover the how, what and why of the world we live in through explorations of the oceans, space, earth and even the human mind in Future World. Out-of this world experiences include flying over the redwood forests of California on a hang glider. The Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival, held in May, and the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival, held each autumn, are visitor favorites with plenty of fun for everyone.
As night falls, the excitement builds at Orlando’s theme parks with special nighttime shows, fireworks spectaculars, and parades. In Orlando, you always have something great to do and to see.

I love heading to the coast and visiting the rocket scientists at the Kennedy Sapce Center. Always fun, and eventually, I hope to be there for a live launch.
