One of the most recent attractions in Orlando is the Orlando Eye. This Eye is located in the heart of International Drive.

Unlike a Ferris wheel, at the base price you share the capsule with 13 to 15 other people. If you enjoy privacy you can purchase a capsule for yourself and your loved ones.

Truth be told, half of the attractions that I mentioned are located on International Drive. This road is famous for fine dining restaurants including Brazilian bar-be-cue and all you can eat lobster as well as fast food places like McDonald’s and Checkers. Also along International Drive are souvenir shops and outlets. There isn’t much that you can’t find on this road including bungie jumping! If you’re ever at a loss when it comes to adventure, boogie down to International Drive.

Orlando is a place of magical wonders

These are just a few of the many attractions the Orlando area has to offer. These attractions are highly visible at night with well-lit grounds and colorful decorative lighting. When people think of Orlando they immediately associate the city with main attractions like Disney World, Universal Studios, and Lego Land not realizing there are many other treasures that can be found here. The only limits here are in your imagination. Orlando is a place built with children on our minds and magic in our hearts.
