Beyond the Theme Parks: The Best Accessible Places to Explore Around Orlando
Orlando may be famous for its world-class theme parks, but some of the best memories are made once you venture beyond them.
Whether you're taking a break from Walt Disney World®, arriving a day early, or extending your vacation after checkout, Central Florida offers beautiful lakes, charming towns, incredible restaurants, scenic parks, and unique shopping districts that are often overlooked by visitors.
If you're looking to experience a different side of Orlando, here are a few places that absolutely deserve a visit.
Disney Springs®
Disney Springs is one of those places where you can easily spend an entire afternoon without ever looking at your watch.
Browse the world's largest Disney Store, hunt down the famous cookies at Gideon's Bakehouse, enjoy waterfront dining at The Boathouse, catch live music, or simply wander from shop to shop while taking in the atmosphere.
Of course, after a couple of hours, you'll probably have a drink in one hand, a shopping bag in the other, and maybe a few souvenirs tucked under your arm.
Luckily, Gold Mobility Scooters already thought about that. Every scooter includes a complimentary cup holder and front basket, so your drink stays secure and your shopping has somewhere to go while you continue exploring comfortably.
Now the only difficult decision left is where you're having dinner.
Celebration
Only a few minutes from Walt Disney World, Celebration feels like a completely different destination.
Tree-lined streets, lakeside walking paths, boutique shops, local cafés, and peaceful neighborhoods make it one of the most relaxing places in Central Florida. It's the perfect place to slow down, grab breakfast on Market Street, browse a few local stores, and enjoy an afternoon away from the crowds.
The only problem is... nobody ever leaves Celebration empty-handed.
Whether it's a few boutique purchases, fresh pastries from the bakery, or an extra bottle of water for later, Gold Mobility Scooters makes carrying everything effortless thanks to the complimentary front basket that's included with every scooter.
Now you can keep strolling instead of wondering where to put everything.
Historic Downtown Winter Garden
Historic Downtown Winter Garden is one of Florida's hidden treasures.
The brick-lined streets are filled with locally owned boutiques, antique shops, coffee houses, breweries, and some of the best outdoor dining you'll find anywhere around Orlando. On Saturdays, the award-winning farmers market brings together dozens of local vendors selling everything from fresh produce to handmade gifts.
You'll probably tell yourself you're "just looking."
That usually lasts about ten minutes.
Thankfully, having a little extra storage on your scooter means you don't have to stop shopping just because your hands are full.
Take your time, discover something unexpected, and enjoy one of Central Florida's most charming downtowns.
ICON Park
ICON Park completely changes once the sun begins to set.
The Orlando Eye lights up the skyline, restaurants fill with people enjoying dinner outdoors, live music starts playing, and International Drive comes alive.
If you're visiting during the summer, however, you'll quickly discover that Florida heat doesn't disappear just because the vacation started.
Fortunately, Gold Mobility Scooters includes a complimentary personal cooling fan with every scooter. It might sound like a small detail before your trip, but after spending a few hours outside, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it.
With the heat taken care of, all that's left is deciding whether to ride The Orlando Eye before or after dessert.
Lake Eola Park
Downtown Orlando offers a completely different atmosphere from the tourist areas, and Lake Eola Park is the perfect example.
Walk—or roll—around the beautiful one-mile lake, admire the famous swan boats, visit the Sunday Farmers Market, stop for lunch nearby, or simply enjoy one of the best skyline views in the city.
You'll probably stop more than once to capture a photo.
With Gold Mobility Scooters, your phone stays securely mounted in the included phone holder, making it easy to grab the perfect picture without digging through a backpack every few minutes.
Sometimes the smallest conveniences end up making the biggest difference.
Old Town Kissimmee
If you're looking for a little old Florida charm, Old Town Kissimmee delivers.
Classic car cruises, family attractions, local restaurants, unique gift shops, and live entertainment create an atmosphere that's completely different from Orlando's larger attractions.
It's also one of those places where it's easy to lose track of time.
Planning to spend the evening there?
Adding one of our premium insulated coolers to your rental is a simple way to keep drinks cold while you enjoy the entertainment, especially during those warm Florida evenings.
Sunset Walk
Located beside Margaritaville Resort Orlando, Sunset Walk has quickly become one of the area's favorite evening destinations.
Dinner often turns into dessert, dessert turns into live music, and before you know it, you've spent the entire evening enjoying the atmosphere.
If you're planning to stop for a bite to eat, our exclusive foldable tray makes enjoying a meal or dessert from your scooter surprisingly convenient. It's one of those accessories people don't think they'll use... until they do.
Explore More. Worry Less.
Some of the best parts of an Orlando vacation happen outside the theme parks.
They're found while watching the sunset over Lake Eola, discovering a hidden café in Celebration, shopping along Winter Garden's brick streets, or enjoying live music at Disney Springs.
That's exactly why having your own mobility equipment throughout your vacation makes such a difference.
Instead of planning your day around walking distance or wondering how you'll carry everything, you simply enjoy where the day takes you.
