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.
Wet 'n Wild
Who knew people came in so many shapes and sizes? Stacked or stubby, terribly tan or not, all kinds come here, so there's no reason to be bashful about squeezing into a bathing suit and going out in public. The 25-acre Wet 'n Wild is America's third most popular water park (behind Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, respectively). Disco H2O, the park's newest addition, debuted in 2005; it's an enclosed flume ride where a four-passenger raft sends you flying through the sights and sounds of the '70s, complete with mirrored lights and disco tunes blasting in the background. Other options include The Flyer, a six-story four-passenger toboggan run through 450 feet of banked curves; the Surge, which is one of the longest (580 ft. of curves) and fastest multipassenger tube rides in the Southeast; and Black Hole, a two-person spaceship-style raft that makes a 500-foot twisting, turning voyage through darkness (all three rides require that children 36-48 in. be accompanied by an adult). You can also ride Raging Rapids, a simulated white-water run with a waterfall plunge; Blue Niagara, a 300-foot six-story loop-and-dipster that also has a plunge (48-in. height minimum); Knee Ski, a cable-operated half-mile knee-boarding course that's open in warm-weather months only (56-in. height minimum); Der Stuka, a six-story, free-fall speed slide; and Mach 5, which has a trio of twisting, turning flumes. The park also has a large kids' area with mini-versions of the big rides. If you enjoy the water, plan on spending a full day here.Note: In addition to the admission prices below, Wet 'n Wild is part of the multiday FlexTicket package that includes admission to Universal Orlando (which owns this attraction), SeaWorld, and Busch Gardens in Tampa.
Hawthorn Suites Lake Buena Vista
One of the features that is most appealing about this 5-year-old property is its floor plan. Its 500-square-foot standard rooms have four areas: a living room with a pullout sofa, chair, and TV; a full kitchen with a dining room table for four; a bathroom with vanity; and a bedroom with a recliner and TV. Two-bedroom units are also available. The extras here are a big plus, too. The Hawthorn offers a free hot American breakfast buffet daily, a social hour (hors d'oeuvres, beer, and wine) Monday through Thursday, and a complimentary light meal on Wednesday evenings. The atmosphere is friendly, the service is good, and it's just 3 minutes from Hotel Plaza Boulevard.
Courtyard at Lake Lucerne
Speaking of romance, you might feel the sting of Cupid's arrows in this downtown hideaway. Each of the Courtyard's buildings is historic. The Art Deco Wellborn, a late-bloomer that arrived in 1946, offers 14 one-bedroom apartments and a honeymoon suite (styles range from Thai to the Fab '50s). The Norment-Parry Inn is an 1883 Victorian-style home with six rooms decorated with English and American antiques; four have sitting rooms, all have private baths. It, too, has a honeymoon suite highlighted by a walnut bed and a Victorian fireplace. The I. W. Phillips House, built in 1919, is reminiscent of old Southern homes with large verandas. Upstairs, there are three suites, one with a whirlpool, all with verandas overlooking the gardens and fountain. Finally, the Dr. Phillip Phillips House, built in 1893, made its bed-and-breakfast debut on Valentine's Day 1999 with six rooms.
