Museums & Galleries in and near Orlando, FL

When you think of Orlando, museums probably aren’t the first thing that comes to mind. But whether you’re a local or a tourist, you’ll find no shortage of things to do in Orlando beyond the famed Universal Studios. Orlando is one of the United States’ best vacation spots after all, so it makes sense that it would be home to world-class hands-on museums such as the Orlando Science Center. You can also go on a self-guided walking tour to take in the series of bold urban sculptures of See Art Orlando, scattered around Lake Eola. And if Orlando weather washes you out of the parks, you can warm up with a mug of cocoa at the World of Chocolate Museum & Cafe.
