This is a family trip report from Aquatica. As somebody who has travelled to Orlando and visited all the water parks I was particularly excited about visiting Aquatica for the first time. Other members of our group who hadn’t been to Florida...

Magical Discovery Cove
When many people think of a Floridian holiday they think of the fantastic opportunity to swim with dolphins. A once in a life time experience to interact first hand with one of the most intelligent creatures on earth. For us, this dream came...

Thrilling rides at Seaworld

Busch Gardens for Wimps
All the brochures for Busch Gardens seem to feature Sheikra, the floorless roller coaster with 90 degree drops, so we wondered if this was the best place to visit as we don’t do high thrill rides and we were taking my mother! The answer was a...

See a Different side to SeaWorld
There are numerous other attractions at SeaWorld, Orlando apart from the animal shows and the thrill rides. All of these are certainly worth a visit if you intend to spend the whole day at the park. The Oyster’s SecretGuests...

Men in Black (MIB) at Universal Studios

Anheuser-Busch Hospitality Center – SeaWorld
We always like to visit Sea World during our trips to Florida. For some reason it feels more relaxed and less frenetic than the Disney theme parks. That’s not to say there isn’t plenty to keep you occupied because there most definitely is....

What to do at City Walk
City Walk at Universal is a fabulous place to do some shopping and having older teenagers we often find that they want to spend more time in the parks than us, so while they’re getting their fix of the high speed roller coasters, shows and...

Dueling Dragons, Islands of Adventure, Universal Orlando
