Orlando | 45 Talking mice and chatty cars. Beautiful princesses and bold knights. Wizards, fairies, ogres, mermaids, pirates, monsters, and superheroes. Other than the love of children around the world, the one thing they all have in common is that they live in Orlando: the gateway between whimsical lands, lost worlds, fantasy, and real life. The "Theme Park Capital of the World," this popular destination surpasses even New York as the most-visited city in the U.S., and not merely among the younger set. Adults find just as much fun and joy reliving their childhoods as kids do experiencing it for the first time… sometimes even more. Over 170 golf courses add a gleam to grown-up eyes, along with world-class spas and outlet-driven shopping. Incredible restaurants give way to equally exciting nightlife. Culture buffs won't even know where to start in the Orlando Main Street District's Little Vietnam, nearby Eatonville—America's oldest incorporated African-American community and a stop on the Florida Black Heritage Trail—or Winter Park, the "City of Culture & Heritage." Over 70 parks complement museums like the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of Natural Art in this livable town, another nod to Florida's love of nature. A bird's-eye view can be taken in from the ziplines of the Forever Florida eco-adventure park, home of the country's first zipline roller coaster, or higher yet from a hot air balloon. From the streets to the swamps to the skies, the Orlando region is one you'll want to see from every angle.
