TL;DRWhen it rains in Orlando, or feels too hot to be outside, try an escape room at The Escape Effect, get creative with a painting activity, watch a medieval jousting tournament, or even ride a mechanical bull!

Wondering if it’s hot in Florida? Does a bear poop in the woods? Sorry, forget I said that! To actually answer the question, yes, it’s absolutely sweltering here! It’s also rains a lot. That’s why it’s really important to have some indoor options on your vacation itinerary, especially for those unbearably hot and humid days.
