5 Star Villa Holidays' Top 10 theme parks in Orlando
1 Universal Island of Adventure
A huge range of rollercoasters and attractions have seen the park win a number of international awards.Just one day is unlikely to be enough with The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Hogsmeade, Marvel Super Hero Island, The Lost Continent, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, Skull Island and Seuss Landing to visit.
2 Disney's Magic Kingdom
Famous for the iconic Cinderella's Castle this is the park that started it all. A favourite for kids to see their favourite character come to life across six different lands. A trip to Disney really is a magical experience for the whole family. Don't miss the Disney parade and fireworks at the end of the day.
3 Universal Studios
Home to the Minions of Despicable Me and The Simpsons, this family friendly park has a huge number of Hollywood inspired rides and attractions.
4 SeaWorld Orlando
A long-time favourite on the list of Orlando attractions, SeaWorld remains one of the most popular places in the world to see magnificent sea creatures. Dolphin Cove and Stingray Lagoon give families the chance for a hands-on experience with these amazing creatures. Be prepared to be scared in the Shark Encounter tunnel. There are also plenty of themed rides and shows to provide a memorable experience.
5 Legoland
With more than 50 rides, shows and attractions over 150 acres south of Orlando this is one of the biggest parks in Florida and is a great option for smaller visitors.
6 Epcot
Cross off most of your world travel bucket list in just one day at Epcot. With the Future World, World Showcase, Frozen Ever After and your favourite characters from Finding Nemo, Epcot is a unique mix of education, innovation and fun.

Disney's home for the Star Wars franchise, Hollywood Studios has been reinvigorated in recent years. Star Tours is one of the most adrenaline-fuelled rides on offer. And there are plenty more epic adventures to be had. Time to step into a galaxy far, far away!
8 Discovery Cove
This all-inclusive resort is a sister park to SeaWorld Orlando. It's a family friendly attraction for those adverse to long queues. You can swim with dolphins, snorkel with rays, feed tropical birds and more. Fabulous for little wildlife enthusiasts.
9 Universal's Volcano Bay
This tropical themed water park in Orlando is part of the Universal Resort. While away the hours relaxing on the lazy rivers or take a terrifying plunge. The Ko'okiri Body Plunge is a near vertical trap door slide that falls 125 feet through the volcano. Are you brave enough?
10 Gatorland
Visiting the big theme parks every day is fabulous, but you may want to do something completely different. This budget-friendly, weird and wacky theme park bills itself as "Orlando's best half-day attraction". Where else can you feed albino gators hotdogs, wrestle with gators and then take a zipline above them all? After all the hi-tech effects, rollercoasters and rides at other parks Gatorland is a refreshing change of pace.
