During your Orlando vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

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.

Gatorland
Founded in 1949 with only a handful of alligators living in huts and pens, Gatorland now houses thousands of alligators (including a rare blue one) and crocodiles on its 70-acre spread. Breeding pens, nurseries, and rearing ponds are situated throughout the park, which also displays snakes, toads, insects, turtles, and a Galápagos tortoise. Its 2,000-foot boardwalk winds through a cypress swamp and breeding marsh. There are four shows. Gator Wrestlin' uses the old "put-them-to-sleep" trick, but it's more of an environmental awareness program. The Gator Jumparoo is a crowd-pleaser in which the big reptiles lunge 4 or 5 feet out of the water to snatch a hunk of meat from a trainer's hand. Up Close Encounters is a new show that features a variety of wildlife, including some venomous snakes. And Jungle Crocs of the World showcases some of the world's toothiest carnivores. Younger kids will enjoy the new train ride through the park; Lilly's Pad, a wet and dry play area; and Allie's Barnyard, a small petting zoo. While you're here, try the smoked gator ribs or nuggets in the open-air restaurant, or grab a gator-skin souvenir in the gift shop. Allow 4 to 5 hours. Tip: Look for additional parking, a whole new facade, and additional landscaping to be added as the park undergoes an extensive million-dollar renovation in 2005 -- its largest in over 10 years.Note: Gatorland's new Trainer for a Day program lets up to five guests get up close and personal with the gators for a day (or two hours in this case). The $100, 2-hour experience puts you side by side with trainers and includes a chance to wrangle some alligators (minimum age 12). Advance reservations are required, and admission to the park is included.Tip: Printable discount coupons and special Internet ticket prices are available at the park's website. Be sure to check it out before you leave home.

Central Florida Zoo
This community zoo has come a long way since it was born in 1923 when a circus came to town, leaving a monkey and a goat behind. The monkey rode the goat in the earliest show. Today, the animal collection includes beautiful clouded leopards, cheetahs, and black-footed cats, all of which are endangered. You'll also meet a ham of a hippo named Geraldine as well as black howler monkeys, siamangs, American crocodiles, a banded Egyptian cobra, a Gila monster, hyacinth macaws, barred owls, bald eagles, and dozens of other species. The zoo has half-price admission for everyone Thursdays from 9 to 10am and all day Tuesdays for seniors 60 and over. Allow 2 to 3 hours. Tip: One-year memberships that include additional perks and free admission to this and 100 other participating zoos and aquariums across the country are available. A family membership is $50, which, depending on your family's size, may be more economical than purchasing individual tickets.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Orlando area, including:

Embassy Suites Hotel
This is another hotel with a run-of-the-mill exterior hiding an impressive interior atrium highlighted by brick and wrought iron accents, palm trees, and lush foliage. Eight floors of suites surround the atrium, some with balconies overlooking the courtyard below. Suites are fairly spacious, with separate living and sleeping areas. This is one of the few hotels to offer both an indoor and outdoor pool. Another big advantage: The proximity to I-Drive's nightlife, restaurants, and shops. There's a complimentary reception in the evenings.

SpringHill Suites Orlando Convention Center
Like the Sierra Suites, this property offers another chance to stay near but not in the middle of the I-Drive crowds and traffic. Clean, very spacious suites (about 700 sq. ft., with beds for five and a separate living area) and reasonable rates make this all-suite property worth considering, though you'll have to pay to get to all of the theme parks.

Veranda Bed & Breakfast
Located in Thornton Park, this inn near scenic Lake Eola is another option if you want to stay near Downtown. Its four buildings date back to the early 1900s. All units (studios to suites) include private baths and entrances; some have garden tubs, balconies, kitchenettes, and four-poster beds. A few of the nicer options include the Washington Suite, which sports a four-poster bed and a Jacuzzi, and the romantic Carriage Suite, which has a four-poster bed and antique claw-foot tub. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom Keylime Cottage ($209) sleeps four and has a full kitchen.
