Hiking in Orlando – Outside of Disney World

Best places to hike in Orlando

Sometimes being a resident in the town of Orlando can be a little hectic and may leave you thinking there are too many tourists’ activities and not enough for me to do. Well, that is just not true. There are some refreshing out of the way places close by so why not pick up your spirits with an outdoor adventure.

Start out big by going to Bill Frederick Park. Talk about outdoor activities, hiking on the 2.4-mile trail around the park can be combined with camping, golf, and biking. Not adventurous enough, then try Black Bear Wilderness Loop Trail. The 7.1-mile loop will be good exercise and have you totally immersed in the outdoors.

If you feel a little out of shape and want to get in some cardio before venturing out, living at 420 East Apartments will be a great option. Our full fitness center and a beautiful pool can prepare you for any hike and then you can return to your home and enjoy a fine meal cooked in your chef-inspired kitchen. When you call 420 East luxury apartments home, the perfect weekend stroll or hike is literally always just outside your door.

Orlando has More Than Just Theme Parks

Orlando is known throughout the country as the go to place for family entertainment. That doesn’t stop when you leave Walt Disney World. Rather, it’s a launching pad for all Orlando has to offer!

Universal Studios theme park has recently added many new attractions for you to enjoy. Regardless if you’re a fan of theme parks, there are also many places a bit off the beaten track that can offer the adults some fun too.  Often at prices lower than the more famous spots charge.

This Labor Day, for instance, the Harry P. Leu Gardens is offering free admission to those interested in a restful walk through one of Florida’s premiere cultivated outdoor gardens with fifty acres of lush land filled with many different plants species. Another free entry is available Saturday and Sunday at three different Museums in Orlando as well.

Free entry into an art museum is nothing new to residents in the Orlando area lucky enough to live at the 420 East Luxury Apartments. Three curated galleries await the art enthusiast with no admission charge and plenty of interesting art works by many different artists for every resident to enjoy.

Get Up Close and Personal with the Wonders of the Sea

Fun things to do in Orlando

As a resident or visitor to the Orlando area, odds are fairly high that you’ve spent at least some time in and around the Ocean.  In fact, you may have spent hour after hour cruising the shore line or exploring the surf.

What most people don’t realize is just how truly expensive the ocean is, and just how many incredible things there are out of our sight below the surface.

That’s precisely what makes Sea Life Orlando Aquarium a prime time weekend destination for both tourists and Orlando residents. Sea Life lets you get up close to a Giant Pacific Octopus, stingrays, sea turtles and everyone’s favorite ocean predator, the shark.

The aquarium is loaded with weird, wild and unusual undersea wonders and puts you in the prime position for examining these creatures without any threat of danger.

The tickets are affordably priced (at around $20 for adults), and it is located just a short drive from the 420 East Luxury apartments.  This means that residents get to experience the trip of a lifetime, without any long commute and without any expensive hotels.  This is a prime weekend (or any day off) trip that is close to home and filled with fun.
