Orlando is the destination for those looking to spend time in the Disney Parks, Universal and Sea World. But there is so much more to Orlando than the theme parks! Here are some unique experiences you should not miss on your next trip to Orlando.
There are so many fun family attractions in Orlando beyond the theme parks and we love experiencing something new every time we go. This past weekend we had the opportunity to stay at the Hilton Bonnet Creek in Orlando and not only enjoy a wonderful family weekend at this fantastic resort but also got to do some things we had done before like indoor skydiving and our first escape room!

Even though most people visit Orlando for the major theme parks you don’t want to miss out on all of the other amazing experiences and by staying at a Hilton in Orlando (there’s over 20 Hilton family hotels in the Orlando area) you’re close to so many of the best Orlando attractions!
Trying New Things In Orlando
What I really love about Orlando, besides the fact that it’s home to the happiest place on Earth, is that there is such a wide variety of fun, exciting and educational attractions! There is so much to do that sometimes it’s hard to choose. We make it a point to try something new every time we visit Orlando, this not only provides for new and exciting family memories but it also let’s us discover things new favorite things to do and discover new things about ourselves. Traveling gives you a great opportunity to expose yourself and your kids to new things, opening up their horizons and building up their self confidence and what better place to do this than in Orlando: were there are so many options!
iFLY Indoor Skydiving
Out of all of the things we’ve done in Orlando iFLY Skydiving is now at the top of our list for being the most exciting and exhilarating experience! It’s hard to describe what it feels like to fly unless you’ve experienced it and iFly gives you that amazing feeling of free flight without having to jump from an airplane. We loved how professional and fun our flight instructor was and we all had an unforgettable time flying! We can not wait to go back and do this again, it was fantastic and if you’ve never done it I highly recommend you try it!
WonderWorks and The Outta Control Magic Comedy Dinner Show
WonderWorks is a great option for those rainy summer days. There were tons of interactive exhibits and virtual reality rides.
My kids loved making giant soap bubbles, talking with a robot and playing laser tag!
We ended our WonderWorks experience with their comedy dinner show. My kids had a blast and could not stop laughing during the comedy dinner show. This was a great option for a fun family dining experience and was also quite affordable.
Staying at the Hilton Bonnet Creek
Combining our stay at the Hilton Bonnet Creek, which in my opinion is one of the best Orlando resorts for families with trying out new experiences in Orlando made for one of the most fun, exciting and unforgettable family vacations we’ve had in Orlando (and we go to Orlando at least 5 or 6 times per year).
Staying at the Hilton Bonnet Creek gave us the opportunity to really relax and unwind by taking a day off from exploring and just enjoying the amazing pool with it’s lazy river and water slide.
Since staying at the Hilton hotels this summer means getting great savings on lots of attractions and experiences check out the Orlando Hilton hotels when you’re planning your Orlando family vacation this summer.
Make some unforgettable memories by including some new experiences in your vacation plans and choose three new things you have never done before like learning to fly!!
I love that the attractions in Orlando include something for everyone, from thrilling to unique and we got to try some some things we had never done for the first time creating family memories that will last a lifetime!

I have only been to Florida once and I was only a few years old. I would love to go again and visit some of these places!
Great places to visit when Disney World isn’t an option! We have a Wonderworks in my town and they are a fun attraction.
I have been to Florida. I love it’s beaches and weather. 2ndly. I haven’t been to Orlando. The pictures here are great and You guys had so much fun..
Trying new things make life dynamic. Its a good post that attracts me to Orlando.

There is literally SO much to do in Orlando! When we were there, we also tried Wonderworks. Fun and a nice change of pace.
I love Florida, such beautiful weather and beaches. Totally worth visiting again.
I think with the ocean and Disney, I may not have time for anything else. If I get bored then I would check out these.
Wow. it looks like there is plenty of things to do in Orlando!!! thanks for sharing all of your experiences!
Orlando is one of those places that just has an endless amount of things to do! I love that there is so much choice for all different likes.
Have never been in Orlando. Will remember this for my family ?
I agree with you because Orlando is not only the theme parks there is so much to enjoy with the family. Nice pics all! Come and visit us soon!
Amiga we miss you, we have to catch up. Our trips to Orlando are always so busy and crazy. But we’ll be back soon! Un abrazote!
Wow! so many exciting activities to do in Orlando. I like the indoor skydiving the best. Next is the Escape room, would freak out on it.
At the escape room they don’t really lock you in. You can leave at any time, it’s just a fun way to solve some puzzles and find clues as a team.
Wow, these are all new to me. Especially the indoor skydiving. I, sometimes, wonder if I can do skydiving. But the thought of it creeps me out. At least this indoor thing makes it more safe. LOL
We have visited iFly in Orlando and loved it. That’s one of my most favorite cities.
That Hilton hotel looks amazing! I would definitely love to visit and do some of these fun activities next time!
What a cool post! This place seems and looks amazing. I’d love to visit. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Wow this resolution looks very pretty. I’ve never been to Orlando but would love to one day. There’s so many attractions and great for family
This looks so much fun i just wanna visit here once.
