The home of the Orlando Magic - unfortunately the Magic aren't good, but this arena is world-class & seeing an NBA game there is worth the low price. The Magic put on a fun experience regardless.

Shopping
Park Avenue in Winter Park is the mecca of boutique shopping, local restaurants, and gorgeous landscapes. Only a 10-minute drive from my apartment, it's a lot of fun to visit, even if you just walk!

Sightseeing
I love this state park because of the river & natural spring that feeds it. Open year-round, the water stays a constant 72 degrees fahrenheit. Drive 30 minutes, rent a kayak & check out Wekiva Island!
