While Orlando, Fla., might be most well-known as home to many popular theme parks — and a famous mouse — the city has much more to offer than rides and souvenir mouse ears.

 

With several locations in the Orlando area, KeKe’s Breakfast Café is a popular breakfast spot among tourists and locals. Their many versions of French toast and waffles are standouts. Omelets are also favorites. Breakfast costs $8–13.

Visit the scenic Orlando Wetlands. This picturesque park boasts Floridian wildlife and lush greenery. The park is open sunrise through sunset. Admission is free, though donations are accepted.

 

If you would like to experience some of Disney without purchasing a ticket to one of the parks, take a stroll through Disney Springs. Formerly called Downtown Disney, this outdoor dining, shopping and entertainment complex features dozens of retail and dining options. After window shopping, refuel at Morimoto Asia. Choose from sushi, dumplings, noodles and other popular Asian dishes. Lunch costs about $20.

Visit the largest collection of work by Louis Comfort Tiffany at The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art. The museum features a comprehensive collection of the artist and jewelry designer’s art glass, jewelry, pottery, paintings, leaded-glass lamps and windows. Admission costs $5 for adults.

 

Featuring a monthly pig roast, The Ravenous Pig is a great dinner spot. The gastropub offers elevated pub fare, made with the best local, seasonal ingredients. Spend $25–30 on dinner, plus an extra $6–12 for beer or a cocktail.

 

Sing your heart out at Big Daddy’s nightly karaoke. If you need some liquid courage before belting out your favorite tune, grab a drink for $5 or less.
