Orlando's aquariums and zoos are great fun for the whole family. Gaze at the marvels of nature in pristine settings throughout Orlando and surrounding areas. These attractions are the perfect anecdote to the wildly fantastical theme park attractions. Here you and your family can be witness to nature and discover what makes animals, birds and marine life so incredible.

Orlando, Florida is the perfect destination for those who love aquatic wildlife. SeaWorld(r) Orlando is the premiere spot for all things marine. From the thrills of petting and feeding a dolphin to the chills of Shark Encounter this is one amazing marine park. Add a couple roller coasters and you have a first-rate educational entertainment experience.

Discovery Cove(r) is taking guests marine encounters and interactions even further complete with an opportunity to swim with a dolphin. Choose between snorkeling with tropical fishes along the coral reef or wading in waterfall feed pool. Or do both. This park is a perfect way to spend the day.

For a uniquely different Orlando experience go horseback riding on the Horse World riding stable ranch. Explore 750 acres horseback on beautifully kept land just south of Orlando and near the Walt Disney World(r) Resort area. The ranch is also home to a petting zoo, games of horse shoes and volleyball. Horseback riding is simply a great romantic getaway for couples.

Guests of Walt Disney World(r) Resort can experience wildlife at the resorts newest park, Disney's Animal Kingdom(r). A blend of action park and zoo, Disney's Animal Kingdom(r) offers guests up-close interactions with animals and birds. Visit The Tree Of Life, a 14 story structure housing 325 animals. All of this and more and you don't even have to leave Disney(r).

Spend part of your day at Gator Land. This internationally renowned Alligator Capital of the World is just minutes from the big theme parks, Orlando International Airport and International Drive. Part theme park part animal preserve, Gator Land makes the best of both and provides affordable family entertainment the whole family will appreciate.

Green Meadows Petting Farm is the perfect retreat for children and adults. The country setting and over 300 farm animals offer a refreshing departure from the typical animal exhibits. Children will love getting up close and personal with the animals and parents can use these moments as great vacation photo opportunities.

Bird lovers will be glad to learn that the Audubon of Florida National Center for Birds of Prey is located in nearby Maitland, Florida. The center offers visitors a bird's eye view of these majestic feathered hunters. The Audubon of Florida is also a wonderful place for children to learn about conservation.

Nearby Lake Monroe, Florida is home to the Central Florida Zoo and "your connection to the natural world." This community zoo is home to a wide variety of animals including endangered species. "Jungle Jack" Hanna got his start as this zoos director in the mid '70's, since then the zoo has grown and expanded on its inhabitants. Well worth the short drive to witness some of natures most incredible species.
