Best Things to Do in Orlando in January January 2, 2024

Do you live in a place where it typically snows in January and want to vacation somewhere that offers warmer weather? Booking a getaway in sunny Orlando, Florida is the way to go.

Enjoy multiple theme parks to start the new year off with thrills and showcases. The weather of Orlando allows you to indulge in outdoor fun that may be hard to come by in other parts of the world in January.

Staying at Rentyl Resorts’ properties provides the chance to escape winter weather for tropical fun. Here are the best things to do in Orlando in January.

1. Orlando Tree Trek Adventure Park

Outdoor thrills are easy to access when you spend a day at Orlando Tree Trek Adventure Park. You can test your adventurous skills with a variety of ziplines and rope courses for both adults and kids.

Fly through the air with the park’s rope swings and leaps into hanging nets, and test your balance on wobbly suspension bridges. Party packages are available for those visiting with both family and friends.

2. SeaWorld Orlando

Are you a fan of aquatic life and want to see how they operate without actually going to the ocean? If so, Rentyl Resort’s homes are a short trip to SeaWorld, where you can attend tours and performances by dolphins, sea lions, sharks, manatees, and other creatures.

Save time for roller coasters such as Pipeline: The Surf Coaster, Ice Breaker, and the Kraken. Additional rides include the Cookie Drop! And Abby’s Flower Tower, and younger kids will enjoy Elmo’s Choo Choo Train and Super Grover’s Box Car Derby.

3. Gatorland

With Florida being known as the home for America’s alligators, a trip to Gatorland is a must for fans of the animal. You can take part in tours of the alligators’ environment in the day, or you can watch them eat with a flashlight at night during Gator Night Shine.

Other animals you will get to see at this park include crocodiles, snakes, tortoises, and wild cats. Make your visit more exciting by taking advantage of the ziplines, rock climbing walls and off-road adventures.

4. EPCOT

Disney World Orlando is a reliable source of fun through its theme parks, one of them being EPCOT. Visiting this park offers the opportunity to learn about different cultures around the world through rides and shows.

Take your group on a variety of rides, such as Soarin’, Mission: Space, Test Track, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, depending on your needs for thrills. End your visit with EPCOT’s nightly firework display.

5. The Florida Mall

A successful vacation requires time reserved for shopping to bring back home gifts and souvenirs. Rentyl Resort’s Orlando properties have you covered with the Florida Mall, the third largest shopping mall in the state of Florida.

You can shop for clothes at Zara and Macy’s, beauty products at Sephora, a phone at Apple, and at other stores. Choose between any of the mall’s numerous restaurants for a lunch break.

6. Universal Orlando Resort

Another source of theme park fun that Orlando is popular for is Universal. Guests can find excitement at both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, depending on your preferences for rides.

Options for roller coaster lovers include the Flight of the Hippogriff, Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket, Jurassic World VelociCoaster, and the Incredible Hulk Coaster. Harry Potter rides are spread out throughout the park, and Marvel-themed attractions offer excitement for all ages.

7. MaxFlight Helicopter Services

While Orlando is popular for its theme parks, those who enjoy rides in helicopters will also want to vacation in this area. You will have access to several helicopter tour companies, such as MaxFlight Helicopter Services.

The tours come in different forms, depending on the time available to you and how much of Orlando you want to enjoy from the air. You can also take helicopter tours at night to watch the city’s parks and downtown area light up in magical fashion.

8. ESPN Wide World of Sports

Sports fans who are looking for athletic events to enjoy during their stay should stop by the ESPN Wide World of Sports. This complex is located within the Walt Disney World Resort and includes 10 venues.

Sporting events that are typically held at the complex include baseball, softball, track, soccer, and football. The ESPN Wide World of Sports features weekly events such as sporting academies, training camps, showcases, and championships.

9. Downtown Orlando

If you are wondering what the city life is like in Orlando, then we recommend spending a day in the downtown area. Stay with Rentyl Resorts so that you can be treated with different restaurants and cafes in a popular hub with a laid-back vibe.

Check out the Amway Center in Downtown Orlando for concerts or sporting events happening during your stay. When you visit during the day, take a break and enjoy Lake Eola Park for a walk or picnic under the sun.

10. The Magic Kingdom

When it comes to experiencing the magic of Disney, Magic Kingdom is the world’s quintessential theme park. Younger kids can enjoy rides such as Pirates of the Caribbean and Jungle Cruise, while those seeking greater thrills can try TRON Lightcycle Run and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Take a picture of classic Disney characters to add to your Orlando trip photo collection. We recommend a complete day trip so that you can end the visit with a view of Magic Kingdom’s fireworks display.

11. Camping World Stadium
