2. Swan Swooning at Eola

One of the most photographed and iconic places in downtown Orlando is its crown jewel, Lake Eola Park. Even if you’re a local, you haven’t lived until you’ve taken a voyage across Lake Eola on a swan paddle boat. Each boat holds up to four passengers and can be rented Tuesday - Sunday from 10 am to 7 pm. After your ride, take a walk around the park to see five different species of swans. They have strict diets, so use the coin-operated feeders near the playground on the east side of the lake and Ting Pavilion if you want to feed them. Learn more about the swan boat rentals.
