"Even though we live on the other side of the Orlando area, we love to visit Winter Garden. It feels like a mini vacation for the whole family.”

Betsy Schreyer,
Winter Park resident

One can’t help but be drawn to historic downtown Winter Garden!

Some people are attracted by the friendly spirit and the historic authenticity. Others are drawn by its environmental sensibility, diverse restaurants, charming boutiques and Friday night music. Then there’s the Saturday morning farmers’ market, the historic Garden Theatre performances and the annual family-friendly festivals. Cyclist love to tour the West Orange Trail. Railroad buffs and history-lovers adore the museums. Kids love the caboose, the tractors and the old fire truck at the Heritage Museum. Nature lovers are drawn to Lake Apopka.

No wonder historic Winter Garden attracts thousands of visitors seeking an “unexpected Orlando” experience every year.

Whatever it is that attracts you, we hope that you’ll visit and experience small-town America before urban sprawl and skyscrapers.
