Hi - I'm Daniel. I'm founder and editor of Dadtography.com and local Orlando, Florida resident since 1996. I love this city and all that it has to offer, and that's why I decided to start documenting some of the places I visit.

Orlando, Florida is widely known as one of the most popular family travel destinations in the world. If you live in the US, you've likely been here or are planning a trip to "The City Beautiful" at some point.

Orlando is tops for traveling with families for good reason - we have sooooo much stuff to do here! Many families struggle to find great places to see outside of the "big 3" theme parks of Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Seaworld Orlando.

Don't get me wrong, I love the theme parks, but the theme parks are the easy part of Orlando. Finding awesome things to do in Orlando outside of the parks is a bit more challenging. That's why we started this blog post series.

As a local resident, I have access to all that Orlando has to offer every day. I find local "hidden gems" and pass them along to you!

Here are a few places to see in Orlando, Florida:
