From a child’s perspective, Orlando is a magical destination. It’s where there are many opportunities for a Mickey Mouse sighting and even a chance to meet Cinderella or Snow White!

Adults, on the other hand, aren’t always thrilled to visit overly-crowded, expensive parks when they come to Orlando. Disney Parks are just one part of this beautiful, buzzing city, though.

Once you discover all that Orlando has to offer, planning a trip here actually sounds like a great idea. Not to mention, with resort-style homes like the ones Windsor at Westside, you’ve got to admit, it’s a vacation worth taking.

You just have to find the adult-friendly activities available in Orlando that fit your interests. The following are ten activities you won’t be able to get enough of.

1. Eat Amazing Food

One of the bonuses of having so many people in one place is the diversity of culture it provides. When it comes to culture, nothing expresses one background versus another quite like food does.

This results in a wide range of all kinds of cuisines, available at many price points.

In Orlando, you can dine at an all you can eat Chinese, Brazilian, or Argentinian buffet, or even eat your heart’s desire of seafood. Your favorite restaurant may end up being a local hole in the wall or a fine dining establishment that really knows how to serve an extravagant experience.

Put simply, there’s no limit to the dining options you’ll find in this city – and all the flavors you’ll get to enjoy!

2. Enjoy Fun, Special Drinks

There’s more to good cuisine than what goes on a plate. Sometimes, what makes the quality of a restaurant hit home is how well they make a drink.

You’ll have no trouble finding delicious boozy creations here.

No matter your drink of choice or how strong you like it, there’s bound to be a place that makes it just right. In fact, you’re going to find a handful of awesome drink options once you get settled into Windsor at Westside and start exploring.

3. Go Dancing and Bar Crawling

There are drinks you enjoy with dinner or go a little crazy with at brunch. Then, there’s your go-to drink of choice for a night on the town.

In Orlando, the party never stops.

If you’re into this kind of thing, you’re in for a real treat. There are so many drink specials and unique events around the city to fill your weekend schedule with.

Some will be specific to nightlife, while others will be all-day events for crowds to come and go as they please. You can dance the night away or get your drink on then be home in time for dinner with the kids.

4. Discover Orlando Breweries

Instead of dancing the night away, sometimes, you just want to take it easy.

For a more laid-back, but still adult-friendly option, make it a point to check out the different Orlando breweries in the area. Some will be right up the road from Windsor at Westside, while others will be a bit further – but still worth the drive.

Each brewery is its own unique world of fun, excitement, and entertainment. Whether you’re just grabbing one drink or hanging out for an entire afternoon, there’s one that’s perfect for you.

5. Sports, Sports, Sports

What’s better than having a beer with your loved one and a few friends? Having a drink while watching the game!

No matter if your sport is soccer, basketball, or baseball, there’s a team here for you. Watch Orlando City score a goal, the Magic make a couple baskets, or catch a Major League Baseball team during a spring training game.

In addition to these choices, Disney’s Wide World of Sports is always hosting tournaments and special athletic events. Although this is associated with Disney Parks, it’s a nice alternative to walking around Magic Kingdom for yet another time.

6. Get Active

What if you’d rather work on your own athleticism than watch someone else’s skills?

The only problem for this in Orlando is deciding what to do first! There are plenty of experienced, professional gyms for all kinds of popular training styles – from weightlifting to CrossFit to yoga, climbing gyms, and various forms of martial arts.

There are running and cycling leagues too, as well as a growing beach volleyball community and even a few watersports complexes located around the city.

7. Go Shopping

If your ideal form of cardio is a few laps around the mall, Orlando is the place to be.

The most well-known options are the two outdoor Orlando Premium Outlets locations or the indoor, luxurious Mall at Millenia. Plus, there are plenty of Farmer’s Markets and unique pop-ups all around the city for special, local items.

8. Visit a Museum

Rather than walking around a mall, switch things up a bit and take the whole family to a museum. For adults who love history, nature, or all things funky and out-there, Orlando has a museum to perk your interest.

Museums are a great way to get the whole family together for some bonding as well as learning. You can visit a few choices in one day or spread out your visits, depending on how long you plan to stay at Windsor at Westside.

9. Watch a Unique Show

Many parents enjoy leaving the kids at home from time to time and treating themselves to date night. When you come to Orlando, try to schedule your visit while a good show is in town.

Some options are available year-round, like the Blue Man Show or Cirque de Soleil. Although, they do change their performances every few months.

Then, there are the shows you can only catch one night! These range from concerts that pass through the city to theater and opera groups, speaker series, and more.

10. Enjoy Special Non-Disney Thrills

In addition to all the options mentioned above, there are some unique Orlando attractions that deserve a category of their own. These include things like:

• going skydiving or indoor skydiving
• go-kart racing and adult arcades
• off-road excursions
• zip-lining
• escape rooms

Whether you want to test your knowledge or chase some big thrills, Orlando has just what you’re looking for.
