Join my family and I for a 3 day adventure to Orlando North where we’ll be exploring the best hidden gems Seminole County has to offer! For our first day here, we started off with a halotherapy session at the Salt Room Oviedo to help with seasonal allergies and overall wellness. This was a perfect relaxing experience that even kids are welcome to.

Next, we headed to Alex’s Fresh Kitchen for a delicious brunch. This eatery is tucked away in Casselberry with a flavorful menu ranging from breakfast items to branded burgers. We tried the in house veggie burger and vegan blueberry pancakes which did not disappoint!

For our last stop of the day we ventured on a self guided golf cart tour with Sanford Tour Experiences. This is an incredibly unique way to explore historic downtown Sanford and the busy marina. While on the cart we also stopped at local artisan shops along the way like Wondermade for specialty ice-cream.
Book Your Tour
To end our evening, we checked into the conveniently located Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Lake Mary for a cozy stay. Their complementary continental breakfast and lounge was perfect for grabbing a bite before kicking off our Day 2 adventure!
Plan A Stay
To kick off our second day in Orlando North we started our day grabbing breakfast at our hotel then headed to District Eat & Play in Oviedo. This entertainment gem has everything from pinball, to arcade video games, to escape rooms and more! They also have a full service bar & restaurant with large food portions perfect for a family or friend outing.
Plan Your Trip
After gaming, we checked in to our painting session at The Winey Wench. This one of a kind decorated location is home to a massive wine selection as well as guided paint classes you can reserve in advance. We had SO much fun painting our artwork and the adults even got to sample wine during the class!
Plan Your Trip
For dinner on our second night we enjoyed delicious contemporary Japanese cuisine from Sushi Pop. The presentation and quality of food here is top notch. Many of the ingredients are locally sourced or grown at the owner’s personal garden. You can even ask the sushi chefs to customize rolls for you here!
Book A Table
Our last day in Do Orlando had to be spent in nature of course! One of our absolute favorite things to do here is to kayak on the Wekiva River. The best place to launch from is Wekiva Island with rentals available from Paddleboard Orlando. You can book a tour or paddle at a self guided pace for beautiful views of the river and Wekiwa State Park at the end.

After freshening up at the hotel, we ended our trip with dinner at Antica Pizzeria. This authentic restaurant pays homage to Italy with city themed booths and hand crafted pizzas straight from a fire oven. The flavors are incredible and was the perfect way to round out our trip in Orlando North.
