You can’t possibly visit Florida without stopping by some of its theme parks. Whether you are looking for a rush of adrenaline or a magical Dumbo ride, Central Florida has something for everyone. Check out these Central Florida Theme Parks:

Universal Orlando

One of my favourite theme parks is definitely Universal Orlando. From meeting Barney and Dr. Seuss characters to trying terrifying pulse-pounding rides, your whole family will enjoy it.

I-Drive 360

At the heart of the I-Drive 360 complex, you can’t miss the Orlando Eye. A 400-foot-tall observation wheel provides an amazing view of Central Florida.
