During your Orlando vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Orlando Science Center
The four-story center, the largest of its kind in the Southeast, provides 10 exhibit halls that allow visitors to explore everything from Florida swamps to the arid plains of Mars to the human body. One of the big attractions is the Dr. Phillips CineDome, a 310-seat theater that presents large-format films, planetarium shows, and laser-light extravaganzas. In KidsTown, little folks wander in exhibits representing a miniature version of the big world around them. In one section, there's a pint-size community that includes a construction site, park, and wellness center. Science City, located nearby, includes physics lessons and a power plant, and 123 Math Avenue uses puzzles and other things to make learning math fun. Allow 3 to 4 hours, more if you have an inquiring mind.
Flying Tigers Warbird Restoration Museum
If you're a fan of vintage flying machines and their restoration, this working museum displays and restores aircraft from the World War II through Vietnam eras. Owner Tom Reilly offers guided tours through a museum full of hands-on exhibits. The outdoor showroom includes changing exhibits of birds that have been or are being restored, such as a 1909 Martin M-1, a 1944 B-17 Flying Fortress, a 1944 P-38 Lightning, and a 1965 MIG 21. Plan on spending 2 hours. It's interesting and a must for aviation buffs, but the show here is almost entirely visual. Note: The museum sustained hurricane damage in the summer of 2004 and is currently in the midst of rebuilding. At press time, they weren't running actual tours yet, but the museum is open and is currently accepting donations in lieu of an admission fee for those who would like to take a look around.
Peabody Ducks
One of the best shows in town is short but sweet, and, more importantly, free. The Peabody Orlando's five mallards march into the lobby each morning, accompanied by John Philip Sousa's "King Cotton March" and their own red-coated duck master. They get to spend the day splashing in a marble fountain. Then, in the afternoon, they march back to the elevator and up to their 4th-floor "penthouse." Donald Duck never had it this good. Allow 1 hour.
Holiday Inn Nikki Bird
Spread out over 26 acres, this family-friendly resort has one of the most extensive array of recreational facilities in its class, including 3 pools and 2 toddler pools with squirting fountains, tennis courts, and more. And it's only a mile from the WDW entrance to boot. Thanks to the great landscaping, you'll never know its located along one of the busiest stretches of highway around (the location's a big plus, as the dining and entertainment choices in this area are practically countless). Kid Suite rooms offer a separate children's sleeping area, video games, and an additional TV. Kids can play at the supervised Camp Nikki while mom and dad relax and enjoy some adult time.Facilities: 2 restaurants; 1 lounge; snack/convenience store; 3 heated pools; 2 children's pools; 3 lighted tennis courts; fitness center; basketball; volleyball; horseshoes; playground; supervised children's activity center; video game room; concierge; car-rental desk; free transportation to WDW parks; laundry service; valet; safety deposit boxes.
Seralago Hotel & Suites Maingate East
Location (it's just down the road from Disney) and price are just some of the perks at this former Holiday Inn. The revamped hotel sports new colors and a bright new look but still features themed Kid Suites with separate sleeping areas for your tots, as well as standard rooms and regular two-room suites. The rooms provide a reasonable amount of space for a family of five, with the two-room unit sleeping up to eight. There are plenty of family recreational activities, from swimming to tennis, and the hotel's movie theater shows free family films nightly. There's a family-friendly food court, and kids 12 and under eat free (2 kids per paying adult) in the hotel's cafe.Facilities: Restaurant; food court; convenience store; lounge; 2 outdoor heated pools; toddler pool; 2 tennis courts; exercise room; basketball; volleyball; Jacuzzi; playground; arcade; Guest Services desk; free shuttle to Disney parks, transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee; limited room service; laundry service; small movie theater.
AmeriSuites Universal
It's tough to beat the value and roominess of these kitchenette-equipped suites, especially if your goal is to be very close to the Universal theme parks without having to pay the heftier rates that come with staying on park property. The modern, spacious rooms allow you to stretch out more than in standard hotel/motel accommodations, and the location is especially convenient if Universal Orlando is your target.
