This book invites you to visit the number one vacation destination in the world and see sights that tens of millions of people miss every year! Whether you're a Central Florida resident or a tourist in the Orlando area, this illustrated book takes you to attractions within easy driving distance where you can enjoy and explore a rich real-life heritage more varied and extensive than any theme park: -- cowboy culture and competition (a century in the making) -- the London Symphony Orchestra at its official summer home -- Zora Neale Hurston's legacy in the oldest incorporated African American municipality in the United States -- a hotbed of antiques and collectibles and the most comprehensive collection of Tiffany glass in the world -- a thriving spiritualist community (since 1894) -- a working Pioneer Florida settlement -- the home of American space exploration -- the biggest stock car races and motorcycle rallies in the country -- and architectural marvels and examples of historic preservation throughout the region. Beyond the Theme Parks also includes photographs, an easy-to-follow map, a cultural arts calendar, and lists of historic sites and arts organizations with brief descriptions, addresses, and phone numbers. More than a guide, this book offers a rich blend of heritage and history, a delightful primer of newcomers, and a homeowner's manual in which residents can (re)discover the delights of their own backyard.
