Top Orlando Events Today



Top Orlando Events Today

 

A lot of people check out top Orlando events today as they prepare for Valentine’s Day.  This is when people make special arrangements to make their significant others feel how much they care for them. 
Here are great and fun things to do in Orlando FL this February!
There are many ways to celebrate this much awaited day but aside from the romantic events and dining specials for Valentine’s Day, there are plenty of other fun things going on in Orlando.

There are so many remarkable events happening now in Orlando even after Valentine’s Day. 

Here’s what’s happening in Orlando this February:

Big Bugs at Leu Gardens
Address: 1920 North Forest Avenue, Orlando, FL 32803
Phone Number: (407) 246-2620
Hours of Operation: 9 A.M. to 5 P.M.

The thought of having bugs all around one’s yard make most people cringe.  What more if they get to see these creepy crawlers up close and personal, scattered all over a beautiful garden? Fear and disgust will surely be replaced with awe as visitors of Leu Gardens walk around and enjoy the sight of the gigantic bug sculptures displayed at the botanical garden.

This exhibit called “Big Bugs” created by David Rogers, does not only showcase art and beauty created out of wood.  It also teaches its spectators the difference between spider species and insect species.  There’s a free Insect Hunt Adventure Guide made available for the adventurous souls.  There is no need to worry because the said guide is easy to follow.  It allows visitors to locate each artwork that is carefully created from trees, branches, and saplings, and discover all the “hiding” bugs spread around the garden.  Those who wish to view Big Bugs should know that the exhibit runs until April 15, 2016.  Aside from these giant bugs and insects, find out what else has landed at Leu Gardens by visiting http://www.leugardens.org/ today.

World Sword Swallower’s Day 2016 at Ripley’s Orlando Odditorium
Address:  8201 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32819
Phone Number: (407) 345-0501
Hours of Operation: 9 A.M. to 12 M.N.

Magic is one of the few things that people will never outgrow.  The mystery of the impossible and unexplained never ceases to amaze both young and old.  There are magic acts that are done by mastering very quick movements of the hands, thus, can be very deceiving to the human eye, but there are acts that require skill, talent, and training.  One of which is a very old act - one where a lot of people have risked their own lives. This act is called sword swallowing.

Sword swallowing is an ancient magic art or skill that started in 2,000 BC, almost 4,000 years ago.  It is an art to those who can do this trick.  Since more and more people are into the said art and are successful in executing it safely, this artistry is, therefore, far from extinct.  On February 27, 2016, sword swallowers will entertain audiences with their dangerous acts as they do free performances to celebrate the World Sword Swallowers Day 2016 at Ripley’s Odditorium in Orlando.  Know the science behind this magic.  Save the date and take note that even if the Odditorium opens in the morning, the “Big Swallow” will take place at 2:27 P.M.  This act is only one of the several amusing things to do in Orlando today.  To find out more about this fascinating event, visit http://www.ripleys.com/orlando/.

The said competition will happen at The Osprey Tavern in Orlando’s very own Baldwin Park on March 7, 2016 from 6 P.M. to 9 P.M.  Ricky Ly of TastyChomps.com is both the sponsor and organizer of this event as he partnered with Jason and Sue Chin of the Osprey Tavern.  This event may not be happening in February, but tickets are already being sold for this upcoming battle of the pots. The ticket that is worth $30 gives its holder the privilege of tasting a bowl of ramen from each participating chef, a draft beer, together with homemade sweets.  Find out how to guarantee a slot by visiting http://ospreytavern.com/.

Checking out an Orlandoe vents calendar offers alternative options to celebrate life even after Valentine’s Day.  Going to an exhibit of giant bugs or watching a dangerous and thrilling act of skilled and talented performers are only a few options that can be considered.  What really matters is the people that these moments are spent with.
