We were in Orlando over the week of the 4th of July for a convention. We arrived a few days ahead, and had no plans to go to the larger amusement parks because of the expense, and the fact that we've seen them before. We decided to buy the 3-attraction Orlando Explorer Pass which also includes three days of riding the conventient trolleys that traverse the length of International Drive. If I'd known what a great deal this pass is, I'd have opted for the 5-attraction pass instead, and saved more money! There are 15 attractions currently listed on the Orlando Explorer Pass website, and the three we visited on the pass were the Titanic Museum, Wonder Works, and Chocolate Kingdom. Others that we ended up visiting later in the week were Congo Golf and the Orlando Aquarium. The pass is a great deal, saving anywhere from a few dollars to almost $20 per person. These smaller venues are well-done, and great for adults, kids, and families. The couple we were with had been to the bigger Titanic Museum in Branson, Missouri, and said that the bigger one was a little better in terms of setup and displays. But we were impressed with the large number of artifacts and the overall telling of the story of the Titanic. Each visitor receives a copy of a boarding pass of an actual passenger, and toward the end of the exhibits is a list of who survived and who did not. It put us into the story a little more personally. Wonder Works is an upside-down interactive science museum. Starting in the attic (at the bottom of the building) are hands-on weather displays-you can ride out a hurricane in a waterfront home, sit at a diner table through a 7.5 magnitude earthquake, or touch lightning in chain-mail gloves and a Tesla coil. There are exhibits about movement of the Earth, perception, and space. You can land the space shuttle at Cape Canaveral or ride in the G-force machine used to train astronauts. You can discover how deceptive our sense of vision can be via strobe lights, shadow-capturing walls, and drawings and paintings by Escher and other artists, as you wind your way, upstairs, to the basement! Very fun for all ages, and one of the better discounts of the Explorer Pass. If you like chocolate, Chocolate Kingdom is a fun place to visit. There's a cheesy video story that leads through the displays about how and where chocolate is grown, how it's processed, and of course, the final products. There are samples given along the way, including a taste of the original Aztec chocolatl drink. When you arrive, you can arrange to have a special chocolate, bar with your own chosen ingredients, made while you watch at the end of the tour. We brought home several of the ready-made bars from the shop, and all were delicious! A special flavor that was especially good was the chili pepper and chocolate bar-nice, even heat that stays with you for a while. The other two places we went without the Pass, but that were worth the visit were Congo Golf and the Orlando Aquarium. Mini-golf in Florida is great-the putting courses are challenging, and the décor at each one is great. Be sure to stop by near the entrance to see their live alligators. The aquarium is divided into ocean regions of the world, and has interactive displays and fish identification screens all along the way. There are programs that run during the day in various places, and docents to answer questions. It's cool to walk through the tube with a transparent floor-all manner of fish, including rays and sharks, swim all around you. There's great information on ecology, and projects that the aquarium pairs with other organizations to carry out around the world. These were just 5 of the attractions the Explorer Pass covered. It is absolutely worth the money, and I highly recommend it!
