Be effortlessly lifted away in a capsule of calm in the Orlando Eye, and serenity to see Orlando in a way you’ve never seen it before. The iconic 400-foot tall observation wheel provides breathtaking views of Central Florida in all directions, with sights of downtown Orlando’s skyline, theme parks, lakes and lush landscape, and on a clear day, views of Cape Canaveral on the east coast.

Listen to traditional and fresh performances by the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra, always on the cutting edge of interpreting the classics with a new twist. Enjoy experimental forays like "A Symphonic Tribute to Paul McCartney" and "My Favorite Things: Songs by Richard Rodgers" on your next romantic date here.

Tour practically every nook and cranny of Central Florida with Florida Dolphin Tours. The tour company doesn't just book dolphin encounters. You can also swim with the manatees, watch a Space Shuttle launch, go to an Orlando Magic game, visit Cocoa Beach by air boat or glide past gators in the Everglades.

Slog back a mug of grog and feast on the entertainment at Treasure Tavern. The pirate-themed dinner and entertainment extravaganza includes a three-course meal with a show that includes acrobatics, comedy and live music.
