THINGS TO DO
-
Universal Studio Florida
"Universal Studios is a wonderful getaway for ages 13 and up. Preferably the rides, entertainment does not suit well for younger audiences. (Ex. Spiderman, Extreme Heros, etc..). It is a nice place to go and have the time of your life at both theme parks. I recommend it to all looking for a place to spend a adventous vacation.-Islands of Adventure is much better for the younger ones due to their Dr. Suess Landing. Check it out!" - a Go City Kids user

Gatorland
"Its an ok place. Over priced and living in Florida I guess you seen one aligator you've seen them all.
Out of a 10 I would give it a four. (Needs updating) And should be able to update, 20 bucks a person.. Not real pricey.. But the train ride is ridiculous. (You get on the train ride, because after hours of walking and sweating you want to be refreshed, well, at least I do) So you pay the 850 a person to ride this thing that litterally goes around 1 circle 1 time.)
UMM HELLO - I want my money back.
All in all, its not that bad of a place & I didnt mind getting ripped off for the day, just dont know that I would go again!" - a Yahoo user -
Bob Marley - A Tribute to Freedom
"This is a great club! Whenever I go to Orlando, this is my main attraction. I don't go for food or drinks....IT'S A CLUB!!!! I GO TO DANCE!!!! That's what you do there! The band is great. They play all of the great reggae songs and you won't stop dancing until it closes. Get there early!!!" - a Citysearch user
