Home to the largest and most famous theme parks on the planet, Orlando certainly has earned its reputation of "Theme Park Capitol of the World". Whether big or small, the attractions at Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, and other Orlando area theme parks offer unique and thrilling attractions for practically every age and interest area.

Walt Disney World offers four main theme parks: Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and the Disney MGM Studios, each with its own distinct personality and fun-filled attractions. Disney also offers visitors to the Orlando area plenty of other attractions on a smaller and sometimes more affordable scale. Athletics enthusiasts will love Disney Wide World of Sports, and gamers will lose themselves in DisneyQuest, an indoor interactive theme park with over 250 attractions on five floors.

Universal Studios also has lots to offer in the way of theme parks, attractions, and amusement centers. Islands of Adventure is Orlando's Next Generation Theme Park, where you'll need at least a full day to explore five uniquely themed islands, like Jurassic Park, Marvel Super Hero Island, and Seuss Landing. At Universal Studios itself, you can "Ride the Movies",  exploring an incredible array of rides, shows, movie sets, and attractions that are unlike anything you've ever experienced, such as Revenge of the Mummy or Shrek 4-D.

Nearby SeaWorld is the world's premiere marine adventure park, with 200 acres of world-class shows, thrilling rides, and unforgettable animal encounters. SeaWorld Orlando is dedicated to giving its guests a close-up look at marine life as they've never seen it before, while infusing fun and excitement every step of the way.
