Best Romantic Hot Spots in Orlando
Many guests come to Orlando with their love one looking for a quite romantic weekend. We offer quite a few Kissimmee hotels which offer a romantic setting, but we have also compiled a list of the best romantic spots in Orlando for you to visit.
To spark your romantic side, an outdoor date may be the best way to surprise your loved one. If you’ve grown tired of the typical routine of dinner and a movie, you should consider bringing your significant other on an adventurous date in an outdoor setting. Central Florida has plenty of great options to add a new level of excitement to your dating life.
Just north of Orlando, in Oviedo, there’s a wildlife refuge known as Black Hammock Wildlife Preserve, and it’s home to one of central Florida’s hidden gems for a casual date: The Lazy Gator Bar. Set on the banks of LakeJessup , Lazy Gator bar offers an amazing view of Florida wildlife, with daily drink specials, live entertainment, billiards and local bands.
If you’re looking for a formal date night in one of Orlando’s upscale communities, you should visit Henry P. Leu Gardens in Winter Park. Known as one of Orlando’s favorite spots for weddings and receptions, Leau Gardens hosts a wide variety of events, ranging from art shows to live jazz concerts by candlelight. If you’re planning your date night, you’ll need to visit the gardens before dinner, since the park closes at 4 p.m., with the exception of special events. Admission is $7 per adult. While you’re atLeu Gardens, be sure to visit the butterfly garden, located next to the cottage. Butterflies are attracted to 100 different plants in the garden and you can see them year-round.
Other attractions at Leu Gardens include the art galleries. This summer, Leu Gardens is showcasing Gary Borse’s painting series: “Revealing the soul-painting from the inside out.” Other areas to consider for an outdoor date include Lake Eola, for a picnic, or Baldwin Park Village Center, where you can choose from several fine dining spots in a colonial style setting reminiscent of a northeast suburb.
