During your Orlando vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
Ripley's Believe It or Not! Odditorium
Do you crave weird science? If you're a fan of the bizarre, here's where you'll find lots of oddities. Among the hundreds of exhibits: a two-headed kitten, a five-legged cow, a three-quarter-scale model of a 1907 Rolls-Royce made of 1 million matchsticks, a mosaic of the Mona Lisa created from toast, torture devices from the Spanish Inquisition, a Tibetan flute made of human bones, and Ubangi women with wooden plates in their lips. There are exhibits on Houdini and films of people swallowing coat hangers. Visitors are greeted by a hologram of Robert Ripley. Allow 2 hours.
Forever Florida
The 4,700-acre Crescent J Ranch is a nature preserve that offers a chance to see native wildlife, Florida flora, and a working cattle ranch by guided tour. Options include touring by horseback (must reserve at least 24 hours in advance) or by Safari coach, a funky buggy that puts riders on a perch 10 feet above sea level. Allow a half-day or longer to get here, take the tour, and see the grounds, which also include a pony riding ring, hiking trails, and a petting zoo.
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.
Comfort Suites Maingate East
Set back from the main drag, this fairly new and welcoming hotel is one of the nicest in the area. The lobby and accommodations -- consisting of studio and one-bedroom suites -- are bright and inviting. The main pool and the children's pool, with an umbrella fountain to keep everyone cool, are open around the clock. For entertainment, Old Town (a small-scale shopping, dining, and entertainment complex) is next door, and a great miniature golf course is located just in front of the property.
Hampton Inn Maingate West
Just 1 1/2 miles west of WDW, this welcoming motel is a good choice for the budget-conscious vacationer. The rooms are nicely decorated, but are a bit on the small side, making them a snug fit for four. While there are not a lot of frills, the property is well maintained and provides the basics with good taste. There's no restaurant, but a free breakfast is served in the lobby, and there are more than enough dining choices just a minute or two away to keep you from going hungry.
