The end of Summer is near but living in Orlando is the perfect excuse for a staycation and getting outside to experience all of the wonderful local spots around Orlando. Check out our favorites and take a walk with us with some fresh floral below!

Lake Eola

This spot is a local staple of Orlando. In the heart of Downtown, this lake is well-known for its large fountain, swan boats, and roaming wildlife! White and black swans surround this stunning .9 mile lake where locals exercise, visit the Sunday farmers market, see shows in the amphitheater, take photographs, and go out to eat! During the holidays you will see fireworks, a musical Christmas tree, and other decorations! It’s a beautiful sight to see and the perfect setting for a picnic by the lake. Location & Directions >>

Mead Gardens

75 years of wetlands, ponds, flowers, and greenery, Mead Gardens is a historical sight & a must-see in Winter Park. Walk among the trails through the wetlands, stop and wade in the water at the pond, enjoy Summer activities like guided hikes, school programs, and more! This place is wonderful for taking photos of the wildlife and the beautiful grounds as well as birding, having a picnic, and geocaching! Find out more & plan your visit >>

Orlando Murals

The most unique & local thing to do around Orlando is mural-hunting! The perfect backdrop for your Instagram photos, a showcase of local artists, every place you turn you can see amazing well-detailed artwork on the walls of many local restaurants, shops, & even the utility cabinets throughout Orlando!
