It is very worthwhile to go. It is very big and has three areas. There is a special roller coaster area. However, it does not have the movie scene area like Universal Studios in Los Angeles, but it is also very fun and worth a visit.
Universal Studios Orlando, as the world's largest Universal Studios, has multiple theme parks. Harry Potter fans can experience the charm of the magic world at Diagon Alley and the Hogwarts Express. There are also exciting Transformers 3D roller coasters, Spiderman Adventures, etc., with super shocking special effects. The new park "Epic Universe" is full of technology and the experience is full.

Walt Disney World is really great! As the world's largest Disney resort, it has four theme parks and two water parks. The park is huge and has many attractions. Whether it is the exciting Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster or the cozy Seven Dwarfs mine train, they are all impressive. The fireworks show at night is magnificent, as if you are in a fairy tale world.
Great place to be. perfect family vacation destination. would love to come back again. even at Disney spring. We have a great time. Combine with good food and great shopping experience.

I have always longed to be the center of this world's aerospace technology since I was a child. Today, I finally got my wish and took my family to check in. Although it was slightly less than expected, I was already satisfied.
The ticket I bought on Ctrip was priced at the child price for adults, which was a discount, flexible in choosing dates, and cheaper than the official website. But the ticket exchange address given by Ctrip was misleading. Google Navigation led me to a school 11 miles away from KSC, which should have led me directly to KDC, and then I went to Will Call at the gate to exchange the ticket. We were lucky on the day we went, and we caught the Starlink rocket launch, which was a pleasant surprise!

It was quite fun inside, but probably because of the weather caused by the tornado, many outdoor activity venues were closed. On the day we went there, there were many tourists and the queues took more than 40 minutes to enter. It was raining heavily in the middle and there was no place to stay. It was soaking wet, but it is still worth going with children.
The Upside-Down House is a very interesting building with a unique design. It has many buildings with opposite structures and a very special decoration style. Many of the arrangements inside the house are of opposite structures. It is a very strange independent building and very interesting.

Had an unforgettable time at Gatorland! It’s the perfect mix of fun, adventure, and wildlife. Got up close with some massive gators, watched exciting shows, and even tried the zip line over the alligator breeding marsh—thrilling! The park is well-maintained, family-friendly, and the staff were super knowledgeable and engaging. A great spot for animal lovers and thrill-seekers alike. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area. Gatorland is definitely more than just gators.
What an amazing place it is. If you are a nature lover, it's a must visit place for you! We spent 4-5 hours there. If you were not lucky enough to see gators in the wild, rest assured you'll see hundreds of them there. Make sure to read information boards, you'll find lots of interesting and useful information about gators. They'll teach you to identify albinos and leucistics. In Gatorland you'll find about 2000 birds, different kinds and sizes, just stop for a minute and observe the wildlife. There is a schedule of interactive sessions, where you can learn more about animals. The only thing I didn't like at all - taking pictures on top of alligators who definitely do not enjoy this activity. You can see rare Cuban crocodiles there as well. There is an option to feed animals like goats, tiny cows. If you are lucky enough, you'll be able to see capibaras. There's is also a swamp board walk and etc etc.To sum up, make sure you include in your list and spend enough time to enjoy it.

There are three sand shark with have got their own names. Enormous tanks of ocean water contain a lot of marine species. This place is situated near an other great museum SS American Victory which is a museum.
I could say I felt like I have experienced something similar to Titanic 😎😁😁

I had an absolutely amazing time at Busch Gardens! The park had an incredible mix of thrilling roller coasters that got my heart racing and fascinating animal exhibits that were both educational and entertaining. The atmosphere was lively, and the live entertainment added an extra layer of fun. I was able to enjoy both adrenaline-pumping rides and learn about animals—all in one place. Definitely a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable and diverse experience!
Saw and experienced more than what I expected! Great place regardless if traveling with kids or just as couples.
