Planning an adventure with your furry four-legged friend to Orlando? The many pet friendly hotels in Orlando plus its unlimited things to do make this an easy travel destination. Once you book your room, visit our Orlando Travel Guide exclusively for pet owners so you can find pet friendly parks, restaurants, events, activities, shops and more.
Universal’s Hard Rock is a top pick of hotels, welcoming pets with a warm belly rub and a cozy pet bed. Just keep in mind that this pet friendly hotel requires a health certificate from a veterinarian within 10 days of your pet’s arrival. There is a cleaning fee of $25 per room (once during the stay) – No more than two pets may occupy any one guestroom. There is a designated dog walking area.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando at Seaworld is another beautiful hotel, however its restrictions on pets are a little tighter than Universal’s Hard Rock. The hotel allows pets up to 25 lbs. and there is a non-refundable fee. Booking early is key when traveling with pets. Start your search here!
Dr. Phillips Dog Park, Barber Dog Park and Meadow Woods Dog Park are just a few of the dog parks where your pet can play with some canine buddies while you’re relaxing on a comfortable bench. There are also shady trees and doggie water fountains. At Meadow Woods Dog Park, there are even walking trails for leashed pets. This way, you get in some exercise yourself.
For some more outdoor adventure, hop aboard a Big Toho airboat ride for a fun sightseeing tour on Lake Tohopekaliga in nearby Kissimmee (about 32 miles outside of Orlando). Well-mannered pets are allowed and can enjoy the sites of birds, gators and other wildlife in their natural habitat. In Orlando, enjoy walking the Cady Way Trail – a 3.5 mile paved trail where you jog, hike or cycle with your pet. Whether you plan to visit the theme parks or discover all the fun things to do in and around Orlando, you’re sure to have an even better time if your pooch is by your side!
