The Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitor’s Bureau put together a handy list of 207 Things to Do in Orlando in 2007. Among their recommended activities are holding a snake at Gatorland, sampling space food at Kennedy Space Center, and designing your own roller coaster at WonderWorks.
Obviously, that list is pretty darn comprehensive, but here are a few other suggestions that were somehow missing:
- Visit the Haunted Grimm House
- Explore the Orlando Museum of Art
- See one of the country’s largest train collections at Trainland International.
