Other Smaller Theme Parks
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of advertising and marketing done by the big Orlando destinations, but if you want to add some unique flavor and flair to your Orlando vacation, you won’t want to miss the smaller theme parks and attractions that Orlando has to offer. Each delivers a single, focused experience that you won’t want to miss.
Why visit the Orlando Area Attractions?
Orlando’s area attractions offer targeted, niche experiences designed to please a specific group or demographic. Love working with LEGOs? You can find a few fun models at Disney Springs – or you can visit an entire theme park and water park dedicated to LEGOs at LEGOLAND. If you want to really immerse yourself in a specific niche, from NASCAR to an Upside Down house to the coloring fun of the Crayola Experience, the smaller Orlando parks allow you to do so.
You’ll find fewer crowds at the smaller parks. Why? Because the target market is smaller, resulting in naturally lower crowd concentrations. Think about it — how many go-kart-lovers will be visiting Orlando the same week you are? Compare the number of people who want to experience the kitschy charm of Gatorland with the number who want to meet Mickey Mouse, and you’ll quickly see why the smaller attractions are less congested.
Many of the smaller Orlando attractions have a strong educational twist, making them favorites with families and homeschool groups. Want to experience a full day of hands-on science fun? Visit the quirky and unpredictable WonderWorks, and learn as you play. Ready to get up close and personal with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars? Madame Tussauds Orlando wax museum puts you in the movies with characters like ET, Will Smith, Brad Pitt, and more!
