subject: The Many Great Things about Orlando, Florida [print this page] What comes to mind when you hear the words: Orland, Florida? Disneyland definitely! But in all honesty, Disneyland is not situated in the area. It's only because of the many theme parks, Disneyland included, near the area that Orlando has oftentimes been associated with them. Nevertheless, this hasn't stopped people from renting apartments in Orlando to get in the fun and excitement. It has even brought a positive result in the city's tourism industry especially since the city is able to match the theme parks with various things it has to offer.
With the city's historic district situated in the downtown area's Old Orlando, people can look into the city's past. They can also visit the museums in the area to learn more about its history as well as its people. These museums include the Charles Hosmer Museum of American Art which houses the late 19th and early 20th century American paintings, graphics and decorative arts, the Cornell Fine Arts Museum which contains items from Cornell's renowned permanent collection, the Orlando Museum of Art which exhibits American portraits and landscapes from the country's impressionists, the Orlando Science Center which is a hands-on learning center, the Orange County Regional History Center which contains artifacts from its earlier years until the present day, the International Trolley and Train Museum which features 14 model railroad trains since the 1920's until today, and Ripley's Believe it or Not! Orlando Odditorium that contains bizarre artifacts and collections.
The healthcare institutions in the area provide the best attention and care within the state. Its non-profit hospitals in particular attend to the needs of the people especially those that are in financial need. These include the Orlando Health which has a Level 1 trauma center in the city and the Florida Hospital which has a Level 3 neonatal intensive care unit.
Also, the city's gardens are great places to unwind and spend some time with Mother Nature. These gardens near apartments in Orlando are the Arboretum found in the University of Central Florida with over 600 species of plants, the Harry P. Leu Gardens that contain several exotic flowers and trees, and the World Orchids which feature a variety of exotic flowers from different parts of the world.
Therefore, Olrando is a lucky city. Because of the nearby parks and the things that the city itself has to offer such as historic districts, museums, non-profit healthcare institutions and gardens, it's now one of the most visited places in the country. It's no wonder apartments in Orlando never lose guests all year round!
