Sightseeing in Orlando

Areas such as Lake Buena Vista are well-worth the drive. Here, you will find a golf course, numerous shopping complexes, and much more. Many of these areas are towns in themselves, so hit the shops and grab a bargain!
Take the hour long drive to the John F. Kennedy Space Center near Kissimmee. This is the US launch site used for every NASA human space flight since 1969. As a result it provides a fascinating insight into space travel.
