Orlando isn't just for children. In fact, millions of adult travelers visit Central Florida every year for couples' getaways, bachelor/bachelorette trips, and solo adventures. From award-winning culinary tours to craft cocktail speakeasies and championship golf courses, here is how to experience Orlando as an adult.
Top Adult Activities in Orlando
1. Drink & Dine Around the World at Epcot
Strolling Epcot's 1.2-mile World Showcase lagoon without children is a dream vacation activity. Sample authentic French champagne in the France pavilion, German pilsners and giant pretzels in Germany, and artisanal tequila flights inside the Mexico pyramid.
2. Wine Tasting on Park Avenue in Winter Park
Just 20 minutes north of downtown Orlando, Winter Park's tree-lined Park Avenue feels like a European promenade. Load a smart card at The Wine Room on Park Avenue to self-dispense samples from over 150 international wines through automated Enoline dispensers.
3. Championship Golf in Kissimmee & ChampionsGate
Central Florida is a golf mecca. Play signature courses designed by legends: the Nicklaus, Palmer, and Watson courses at Reunion Resort, or the Greg Norman-designed International Course at Omni ChampionsGate.
