Once you've had your fill of rides, flumes and film sets, the outlets and malls offer unrivalled shopping. You can also drop in at Legoland, which is about 45 minutes from Orlando’s theme parks. Kids will also love a trip to Gatorland, where they can spot alligators, visit the petting zoo and even take a swamp walk.
Orlando also has a selection of fantastic beaches, although all of which are approximately 60-75 minutes' drive away - but worth going the distance! The lively Cocoa Beach to the east, the quieter New Smyrna Beach or drive down to the powdery white sands of Clearwater Beach.

Orlando is all about theme parks and family fun with Busch Gardens, Universal Studios, Epcot and SeaWorld all on your doorstep.

Once you're done saving the world with Spiderman, taking on Transformers and meeting Minions, walk through the Wizarding World of Harry Potter before riding the Hogwarts Express to Universal's Island of Adventure. Spend the evening in Universal's Citywalk where you'll enjoy night time entertainment and fantastic restaurants and bars.
The perfect way to wind down after a day at Disney's theme parks is to kick back on a stretch of soft sand. Just a 60-minute drive from Orlando is Cocoa Beach, the East Coast surfing capital that sits pretty on Florida's Space Coast. Take to the waters and enjoy a surfing lesson at the world-famous Ron Jon Surf School or Cocoa Beach Surf Company, take a kayaking trip around the beach's Thousand Islands where you could spot manatees, dolphins and other marine life, or simply watch the sun go down from your spot on the sand. If you get bored of the beach visit the Kennedy Space Centre or drive to the world's second busiest cruise ports, Cape Canaveral, and grab some seafood as you watch the spectacular ships set sail.
If there are any astronaut lovers out there then a trip to Kennedy Space Centre is a must; relive Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon as you wander down the Astronaut Hall of Fame, set eyes on
