There are several malls, quaint little shops on the streets downtown and tourist shops. Ethnic shops, found no where else in the area in such abundance, make stopping in the small shops great fun!

The Church Street area of downtown Orlando reflects the Orlando of the past. Original buildings, once train stations, and warehouses have been converted into an area several blocks wide and about ½ mile long just packed with shopping, adventures, dining, unique bars and nightclubs, and provide a fun gathering place for locals and tourists alike.

The Orlando Centraplex consists of five venues for sports and cultural events: TD Waterhouse Centre, Bob Carr Performing Arts Center, Florida Citrus Bowl, Tinker Field and Expo Centre.
