During your Orlando vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Holy Land Experience
Battles to get tax-exempt church status and smaller-than-expected attendance caused this tourist attraction to add a parking fee and boost rates by $13 in its first 2 years. But backers still believe Jesus Christ and John the Baptist can go head to head with (or at least play second harp to) Mickey Mouse and Woody Woodpecker. This $20 million, 15-acre attraction near Universal Orlando is trying to court more believers by offering exhibits focusing on Jerusalem between the years 1450 B.C. and A.D. 66. Instead of thrill rides, visitors get lessons about Noah's Ark, the limestone caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered, 1st-century Jerusalem, and Jesus' tomb. The trimmings include a display of old Bibles and manuscripts, a Bedouin tent where biblical personalities tell Old and New Testament stories, and a cafe serving Middle Eastern food. New additions include a multimedia production of music and art giving an overview of worship through the ages; a small play area for kids; and the Oasis Outpost, which features a rock wall and archaeological dig, misting station, and a small refreshment spot. The attraction has caused some controversy: Orlando-area rabbis, among others, say they believe it's a ploy to convert Jews to Christianity. Allow 3 to 4 hours.
Skull Kingdom
As you wander the stone halls inside the Skull Castle, you'll be taunted and terrified by a cast of ghoulish characters second in central Florida only to the crew at Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights, but this show runs year-round. The night show (after 5pm) on weekends is far more intense than the day show. In any case, it's not for children under 8. Allow about 30 minutes to walk through the castle. The Chamber of Magic dinner show (all-you-can-eat pizza and drinks) can also be combined with the haunted tour.
Water Mania
You'll find a variety of aquatic attractions in this 36-acre water park. You can boogie board or body surf in the wave pools, float lazily along an 850-foot river, enjoy a white-water tube run on Riptide, and spiral down the Twin Tornadoes water slide. If you dare, ride The Screamer, a 72-foot freefall speed slide, or the Abyss, an enclosed tube slide that corkscrews through 380 feet of darkness, exiting into a splash pool. You can climb the all new Rainrock Mountain (at an extra charge). There's a rainforest-themed water playground for kids; a miniature golf course; and a picnic area with arcade games, volleyball, and a beach. Note: This park has fewer thrill rides than Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach or Wet 'n Wild (listed a bit later), so it has fewer teens and young adults, making it more attractive to older adults or families with younger kids. Allow 4 to 5 hours. Tubes, towels, and lockers are all available for rent for a small fee and a deposit ($2 for a towel; $5-$6.50 plus $1 deposit for a tube; $4.25-$6.50 plus $5 deposit for a locker). A child-size life vest can be rented at no charge. A cabana with 4 towels, 2 chairs, 2 lounges, 2 tubes, a table, and 1 locker can be rented for $55 with a $10 deposit.
La Quinta Inn & Suites Convention Center
Opened in 1998, this is one of a handful of upscale, moderately priced motels on Universal Boulevard, which runs parallel to (but isn't as congested as) I-Drive. The hotel is aimed at business travelers, but this is Orlando, so families traveling with kids are welcomed with open arms. King rooms are designed for extended stays and have a fridge and microwave. A limited number of two-room suites offering separate living and sleeping areas are available.
Hard Rock Hotel
You can't get any closer than this to Universal Studios Florida. Opened in 2001, this California mission-style resort sports a rock-and-roll theme with rates a shade less expensive than the Portofino . The atmosphere here is also more casual (though with an air of sophistication) than that of its Universal Orlando sisters, and it's the most kid-friendly resort, too. The collection of rock memorabilia found scattered throughout the public areas of the hotel is impressive. The pool area, however, takes center stage here: A tremendous oasis of palm trees and rocky landscaping surround a large freeform pool whose most unique feature is a first-rate underwater sound system that makes sure you don't miss a beat. The rooms and amenities at the Hard Rock are a cut above. The rooms are very comfortable, with a sophisticated modern decor. Unfortunately, though the rooms are fairly soundproof, a few notes seep through the walls, so you may want to ask for one that's away from the lobby area. Tip: One of the biggest perks of staying on Universal property is that guests get no-line access to almost every ride at Universal's theme parks, and seating privileges for shows and restaurants.Facilities: 3 restaurants; grill; 2 lounges; outdoor heated pool; kids' pool; fitness center; playground; kids' club; arcade; concierge; free water-taxi transportation to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and CityWalk; free shuttle to SeaWorld; transportation to WDW parks for a fee; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; valet.
Gaylord Palms
It's a convention center in disguise, but the Gaylord Palms appeals to vacationers, too, and is not your run-of-the-mill resort. It could be considered a destination unto itself, offering its own entertainment, fabulous dining, shops, and recreational facilities. The 4 1/2-acre octagonal Grand Atrium, topped by a glass dome, surrounds a miniature version of the Castillo de San Marcos, the old fort at St. Augustine. Waterfalls, lush foliage, and a rocky landscape complete the feel.The resort and its rooms are divided into themes: Emerald Bay, a 362-room hotel within the hotel, has an elegant air; St. Augustine captures the essence of America's oldest city; Key West delivers the laid-back ambience of Florida's southernmost city; and the Everglades uses a misty swamp, snarling faux gator, fiber-optic fireflies, and tin-roofed shanties to muster a wild-and-wooly air. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and well appointed (the soundproofing, though, could be a bit better); each has its own balcony. The kids' pool features a huge eight-legged octopus waterslide, and cabanas at the adult pool have Internet access. And if you need to unwind further, try the 20,000-square-foot branch of the famous Canyon Ranch Spa. As is befitting a luxury resort, the service is impeccable; yet it's also extremely friendly and welcoming, not standoffish, as is the case at many other resorts of this class.Facilities: 5 restaurants; 4 lounges; golf (nearby); 2 outdoor heated pools; fitness center; spa; supervised children's center; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; free transportation to Disney parks; transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee; business center; shopping arcade; salon; room service; massage; babysitting; dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.
