Orlando, Florida is home to many iconic attractions, most notably its many theme parks. Just around the corner from the Loews Sapphire Falls Resort is a huge city of opportunities to explore. This trip doesn't need to be all work and no play, so here are a few ideas for things to do in Orlando.

It's impossible to talk about things to do in Orlando without mentioning theme parks. Theme parks are synonymous with Orlando and luckily Loews Hotels offers some amazing exclusive benefits for members staying at their hotel, including early park admission, free water taxis from the hotel straight to the parks, and free merchandise delivery to your room.

Steps away from the hotel, you'll be able to visit Universal Orlando Resort which houses The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay. Also close by is Walt Disney World, which has Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and Disney Springs.

2. Recreation

It's okay if theme parks aren't your thing, as Orlando offers many other exciting ventures. ICON Park is an outdoor plaza right down the street from the hotel that's full of restaurants, shops, and attractions, including Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, Sea Life Orlando Aquarium, and a 400 foot tall Ferris wheel.

Orlando is also home to Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Wonderworks, the Orlando Science Center, and the Crayola Experience. Regardless of what you’re interested in, Orlando has something for you.

3. Dining

Loews Hotel is home to four of its own restaurants for guests to enjoy (New Dutch Trading Co., Strong Water Tavern, Amatista Cookhouse, and Drhrum Club Kantine) as well as offering 24 hour room service.

If you're looking to explore dining options outside of the hotel, there are many options close by to enjoy. Inside of Universal Studios is Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Margaritaville, and the Toothsome Chocolate Emporium.

Regardless of what you’re into, Orlando has something for everyone. Be sure to check out some of the many experiences Orlando has to offer.
