About this adventure

Located inside the historic neoclassical 1927 Orange County Courthouse at Downtown Orlando's Heritage Square, the Regional History Center immerses families in early Florida pioneer traditions over Thanksgiving weekend. Children can roll up their sleeves for hands-on heritage crafts—including making authentic corn husk dolls, churning fresh cream into sweet butter, stamping vintage citrus crate labels, and weaving pine needle coasters. Families can explore five stories of air-conditioned interactive exhibits detailing Florida's First Nations, early cattle ranches, pioneer citrus groves, and aviation history. The facility features broad elevators accommodating double strollers, quiet family restrooms with diaper changing tables, and immediate outdoor access to Heritage Square park for relaxing lunches.
