Staying in Central Florida, Valentine’s Day presents lots of romantic options, making a choice becomes confusing. A Valentine’s Day trip to Central Florida could easily become one of your best vacations ever, if well planned. Here, we try identifying 10 ideal locations to make this Valentine’s a romantic and amorous experience, you wouldn’t want to forget in a hurry.

1. Visit Lake Monroe: Just north of Orlando in Sanford, lays Lake Monroe. Enjoy a light romantic cruise across the Lake alongside your partner. Feel the heat of the sun, or sway to the moonlight as you enjoy a lunch or dinner dance cruise.
2. Explore Art: With a sizeable number of robust art institutions available in Orlando, you might want to consider exploring the art world on a romantic visit. The Orlando Arts Museum, and the Mennello Museum of American Art are two amongst a vast array of options for art lovers.
3. A trip through Forever Florida Park: It’s hard to think of romantic settings in the heart of central Florida without reverting to nature. Beginning with a trip through a traditional Florida ranch, which features a living museum, and Florida’s unique Cracker Horses, your Forever Florida journey takes you through a Safari Adventure which covers a 4,700-acre Wildlife Conservation Area, preserved in its natural state. The open Safari coaches will give you a fantastic view of everything on the ground.
4. A visit to EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow): This miniature Future World is now synonymous with both Orlando and Disney. With technological advancements well-showcased, –from energy up to space travels–EPCOT is a fusion of both entertainment and education, into a wonderful theme park. The presence of one of the world’s largest artificial Islands only serves to improve this already impressive park.
5. A visit to the Orlando Eye: The Orlando Eye is a 400-ft tall giant Ferris wheel, which is about 90-ft taller than the Statue of Liberty. Passengers in its climate-controlled capsules could see all the way to Florida’s Atlantic coast. While each capsule holds up to 15 people – for a 30-minute circuit around the wheel, you can book a private capsule for a special evening. Romantic, eh?
6. Reunion Wyndham Grand Golf & Spa Resort: Six miles away from Walt Disney World, and tucked away amid three golf courses designed by legends of the game, lies Reunion. An onsite water park, a multitude of dining options, a tennis camp, and several oasis-like pools for relaxation, are just some of its attractions.
7. A visit to Gatorland: “Orlando’s best half-day attraction” – As implied by its name, Gatorland plays host to a park devoted to Florida’s most famous native inhabitants – Gators. Spend time soaring over live alligators and crocodiles, at a speed just under 30 m.p.h using the Screamin’ Gator Zip Line. Enjoy various into-the swamp outings for close-up alligator action, and enjoy a cold beverage by a pool of gators.
8. Valentine’s Balloon Flight over Orlando: Orange Blossom Balloons offers an opportunity for a one hour flight, with champagne toast. Soaring in the sky with your love sounds very romantic.
9. Central Florida Zoo FL Sex and the ZOO: This Valentine’s special on offer from Central Florida Zoo, includes two shows – a Dinner Show and Late Night Show – and is adult-oriented, with its mantra – Experience the wild side of Romance! Notwithstanding, a visit to Central Florida Zoo away from the Valentine’s Day special, is easily an exhilarating experience.
10. Picnic on the Beach: Living in Central Florida, there’s no shortage of water bodies. Affordable, without being any less romantic, the age-old picnic on the beach might just be your ideal Valentine’s Day choice.

Florida is impressively stocked to make your Valentine’s Day retreat a special one. Theatres, restaurants, theme parks, spas and resorts all add up to make Central Florida ideal for the Best Vacation Ever. Whether this be as a family, or as a couple.
