Day trips from Orlando

Take a day trip across the Sunshine State!

Book a staycation

You’re already living in one of the world’s biggest tourist destinations, so why not take advantage of it! A staycation may be the perfect mini time for you to relax and reset. Orlando has endless options for a staycation, like the Grand Bohemian in Downtown Orlando to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. Whether you’re going full luxury or just need a change of scenery, a local getaway is the perfect way to press pause and soak up the summer without ever leaving the 407.

Enjoy a beach day

Nothing says summer like a spontaneous beach day—sun on your skin, sand between your toes, and the sound of waves crashing in the background. Whether you’re building sandcastles, catching a salty breeze with a good book, or diving into the surf, the beach is the ultimate reset button. Pack a cooler, grab your shades, and don’t forget the sunscreen—because no summer bucket list is complete without at least one (or ten) day trips to the coast!

Explore ICON Park

If you’re looking for big fun in Orlando, ICON Park is where it’s at. This lively entertainment spot has everything—awesome restaurants, fun attractions, live music, and a massive observation wheel that gives you epic views of the city. Whether you’re riding The Wheel at sunset, grabbing a drink at one of the open-air bars, or just people-watching with an ice cream in hand, ICON Park is the perfect mix of laid-back and exciting. Great for date nights, family outings, or just kicking it with friends.
