About this adventure

Downtown Orlando kicks off the holidays at Lake Eola Park with the illumination of the city's 72-foot Christmas tree adorned with 88,000 animated LED lights and 2,000 holiday ornaments. Each evening through early January, the tree comes alive with choreographed light and musical sequences that synchronize with Lake Eola's iconic Linton E. Allen Memorial Fountain. Families can stroll the paved 0.9-mile path circling the lake to see illuminated swan boats and holiday light arches. The park features open green lawns perfect for picnics, two large shaded children's playgrounds, clean public restrooms, and wide paths ideal for double strollers.
