Orlando, Florida may be considered the theme park capitol of America, but a day visit to Disney World, SeaWorld, or Universal Studios can cost a fortune. For most people, the cost of admission for the whole family to enter one of these theme parks is more than we can afford. It’s a darn good thing that Orange County has plenty of free venues, activities, and entertainment for the entire family to enjoy at little to no cost at all.
