Orlando

Orlando is the theme park capital for a reason, and Kennedy Space Center an hour east adds genuine STEM depth to a trip heavy on fantasy, with the Space Shuttle Atlantis and simulator rides landing differently for different ages. When the parks need a break, Winter Park is a 20-minute drive north and feels like a different city entirely, with historic tree-lined streets, lakes, and local restaurants worth the detour. For barbecue that earns its place on the list, Polite Pig smokes in-house and lets you watch from the open kitchen. Google Maps handles both rideshare and transit routing seamlessly, making it easier to move between areas without a rental car. FamiVentura's Orlando guide delivers 15 picks per category, 2-day and 5-day itineraries, a neighbourhood guide, and a survival guide for a destination built almost entirely around making families happy.
