Orlando is one of the most widely known cities in Florida and it has no shortage of activities. While some are so overdone, the central Florida hot spot also has so many Airbnb experiences that aren't basic and totally worth the value.

Instead of heading to the theme parks, there are unique excursions you can try with your family and friends that make everlasting memories, and you probably didn't even know they were offered.

From luxurious private dinners to some fun in the sun, your itinerary can include the interests of the whole group chat. We compiled a list of the top Airbnb experiences listed, and you'll be itching to open a new tab to book one right away.
