Orlando's not bad. Not my favorite place in Florida, though. The greatest thing about Florida in my opinion is the vast network of crystal clear aquafer-fed springs (some of which can be found around Orlando). They've created some extremely interesting and diverse environments from Bat-filled caves to orchid-lined sink holes. Back in the 70's, a fully preserved 10,000 year old native American man was found in Florida's southern-most spring. The oxygen and mineral content in the water was the preserving agent.
Florida is also an awesome place to find fossils from early mammals. The Peace River is a great place to find fossils from animals like mastadons, saber tooth tigers, giant sloths, and megalodon teeth (giant shark). It's a very dark, slow moving, mysterious sort of river. At the University of Florida they have a complete mastadon skeleton that was found when a giant tusk was discovered just sticking out of one of the banks of the Peace River.
The history of Florida is also very interesting, since Saint Augustine was the first European settlement in the Western Hemisphere (unless you count the Vikings). There's a really awesome stone fortress there called Castillo de San Marco. Very creepy sort of place on the inside, with mysterious scrawlings on the walls from hundreds of years ago. Both black and native American slaves were kept to farm there during the Spanish years. Unfortunately all the native peoples of Florida (the Calusa) were killed by disease or taken as slaves.
Either way, there's a lot more to Florida than Bike week and theme parks.
