Best Theme Parks in Orlando

Orlando has 3 theme parks we would happily take our own kids to. Discovery Cove is the one most families start with. An all-inclusive Orlando day resort built around hands-on animal encounters, swim with a dolphin, drift the reef alongside rays, and swap theme-park queues for a reserved place in the sun. Universal Orlando Resort is the other name that comes up again and again. Four theme parks, the Wizarding World, and the all-new Epic Universe in one Orlando resort. Walt Disney World Resort rounds out the pick of the bunch. Four theme parks, two water parks, and 400-plus dining spots across one Florida resort.

Published prices run from $119 at Universal Orlando Resort up to $189 at Discovery Cove. Prices shift with the season and with anything you add on, so check before you travel. Age guidance is worth reading first at Discovery Cove (ages 6+).
