Whether business or leisure is the reason for traveling from Little Rhody to Orlando, with so much to see in the sprawling resort destination, having your own transportation once you land just makes sense. After picking up your rental car at Orlando International Airport (MCO), you can tour the Kennedy Space Center facility, see the launch pad up close, and go inside one of the launch center’s firing rooms.

Located a ten minute drive from the airport, SeaWorld Orlando offers up-close tours, and travelers can visit the Jewel of the Sea Aquarium as well as enjoying the theme park rides. For waterpark fun, Wet ‘n Wild Orlando offers everything from tubing to exciting water rides, while the Orlando Science Center presents four floors of exhibits including the planet and universe, forces in nature and hands-on exhibits for children.

Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Epcot Center and Hollywood Studios are renowned area attractions. The Multisports Experience allows you to test your mettle in basketball, football, baseball and other sports. If you're in the mood for a cultural experience, head to the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park.
