Nestled in the heart of Florida's enchanting landscape lies Celebration, a picturesque town brimming with old world charm and allure. Founded by the
Walt Disney Company, this idyllic place offers a plethora of activities to enjoy. From soaking up its quaint shopping vibes, to feasting out on some of the finest food, we’ve hand picked just a few of the best ways to fill your time in this Sunshine State gem…
Enjoy a Lakeside Stroll
Sometimes you just need to unwind in nature. Luckily, Celebration has just the place for that peaceful bliss. Lake Rianhard is located right across the street from Celebration Town Centre and is the perfect place to go for a leisurely stroll. And when the stomach rumbles start up, there are ample green spaces to lay down a blanket and tuck into a picnic basket filled with your favourite snacks and refreshments. Plus, keep your eyes peeled for all sorts of Floridian wildlife, including the main star, the alligator. But if you want a more active way to enjoy the stunning scenery, why not play tennis at Celebration Lakeside Park or hop on a bike for a waterfront ride.
Indulge in Sweet Treats
Satisfy your sweet tooth with a visit to Kilwins Celebration. Here, you will find a host of delightful ice cream flavours, including Georgia Peach, Marsh-Mallow S’more, and Raspberry Ripple. Kilwins also serves up other sweet confections like caramel apples and fudge squares.
Another must visit is Le Macaron. This Paris-inspired shop is a treat for both the eyes and the tastebuds. Here, you will find rows and rows of colourful macrons with even more colourful flavours, including the likes of basil white chocolate, strawberry key lime, and champagne. Plus, with its lakeside location, you could even get your macarons to go and enjoy a peaceful stroll as you tuck into French pastry heaven.
Small Town Shopping
Discover unique treasures with a stroll down Market Street. Lined with charming little boutiques, this is the place to go to grab those special mementos from
your Florida holiday. At Market Street gallery, you have a wide selection of gifts to choose from, including tote bags, home décor, and Disney-themed goodies. If you’re looking to add a little bling to your collection, Dazzling is the place to go for jewellery essentials. And if you want to get your hands on some comfortable resort wear, Soft as a Grape has a wide selection, including slogan tees and jumpers. So, if you need to sort some last minute comfies for that plane ride home, this is the place to go.

Start your day off right with breakfast at Maple Street Biscuit Company, where comfort food comes with a modern twist. We recommend the Risky Biscuit for delicious gravy-soaked butter milk biscuits.

Ari Sushi offers up a tempting selection of Japanese and Korean dishes, including bibimbap, tempura shrimp, and teriyaki chicken, while Thai Thani has some of the finest Thai cuisine in town. And if you’re dining for a special occasion, Reggiano’s of Celebration is the perfect choice. This upscale eatery features a delicious menu of authentic Italian cuisine in an elegant setting adorned with chandeliers and flickering candlelight.
Explore by Horse-Drawn Carriage
There’s no better way to explore the fairytale setting of Celebration than with a horse-drawn carriage ride. Misty Blue Acres Carriage Company offers carriage rides every Friday and Saturday evening. It departs from the town centre’s lakefront and slowly meanders on a 20-minute ride through the town’s quintessentially American streets. So, whether you’re in the market for a little romance or just looking for a unique way to explore this part of the Sunshine State, there’s no better way to do it. Little ones will also love the chance to feel like a real-life princess in the special Cinderella-esque carriages.
