The ranked list
Gatorland
🔥 Popular with locals
Alligator shows, ziplining over the breeding marsh, and animal exhibits.
It is the cheap, unfussy counterweight to the big parks down the road, and the zip line runs over the alligators rather than past them.
🗝️ Insider: Buy online before you go rather than at the gate, and check their social media the morning of, since weather closes parts of the park.
14501 S Orange Blossom Trl, Orlando, FL 32837, USA
Fun Spot America
🔥 Popular with locals
🔥 Popular with locals · 6.9 mi from the town center.
5700 Fun Spot Wy, Orlando, FL 32819, USA
Universal Orlando Resort
6000 Universal Blvd, Orlando, FL 32819, USA
Top rated inside this park
SeaWorld Orlando
🔥 Popular with locals
Dolphin Cove, Orca Underwater Viewing, Shark Encounter, Sesame Street Land and its roller coasters.
You get genuine animal encounters and serious coasters on one ticket, which no other Orlando park offers.
🗝️ Insider: Go late in summer: Electric Ocean runs select dates now to September 7, 2026, and staying past dark is how you get the fireworks and drone show.
7007 Sea World Dr, Orlando, FL 32821, USA
Lake Eola Park
512 E Washington St, Orlando, FL 32801, USA
Top rated inside
Harry P Leu Gardens
A renowned camellia collection across 50 acres, plus the Historic Leu House Museum.
It is the rare botanical garden with a house museum attached, so you get a serious plant collection and an 1888 home in one walk.
🗝️ Insider: Come December through March when the camellias are actually blooming, and take a Thursday, when the gardens stay open to 8 p.m. and there is live music June through September.
1920 N Forest Ave, Orlando, FL 32803, USA
Orlando Starflyer
8265 International Dr Unit c suite 108, Orlando, FL 32819, USA
ICON Park
The Orlando Eye, SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium, Madame Tussauds, the Museum of Illusions and the Orlando SlingShot.
You can stack three genuinely different attractions into one afternoon on a single combo ticket, then eat without moving the car.
🗝️ Insider: Do not buy attractions one at a time. The Three Attraction Combo puts SEA LIFE, Madame Tussauds and The Orlando Eye together starting at $49 per adult, against $33.99 each bought separately.
