Visited late night. Loved seeing the swans sleeping island. The color changing fountain was awesome. Also saw geese and other waterfowl hanging with the swans. Walk around the lake is nice, ended up finding a flea market next to it, which was pretty neat. Had some interesting stuff 😊

I wanted to visit Eola Park because it was famous, and I was so satisfied because it was much more beautiful than I imagined. First of all, it's Christmas season, so you can see various X-mas lights in the evening. It was such a great time to take pictures and appreciate the nature of swans/geese, and lights while walking around the lake. I just thought it was a park in a common neighborhood, but it was one of the coolest, big, most beautiful parks of my life. It is hard to find a good parking lot, so I wandered around diligently, and ended up parking in a nearby parking lot and paying 12 dollars in two hours like everyone else. However, you who can read this, if there is a blank space on the side of the road around the park rather than in a parking lot, find a place to park. All nearby parking lots are very expensive because they are all covered in dumps, but an official parking lot on the side of the road is only 1 dollar per hour.

The Christmas lights at Eola Park are absolutely magical! The nearly one-mile trail is filled with stunning displays that create a festive and enchanting atmosphere. It’s a completely family-friendly environment, with children of all ages enjoying the fun—from those in strollers to teenagers.

While it can get crowded, and some visitors take their time with photos at each ornament, it’s all part of the holiday excitement. The tree light and audio show is a must-see—it’s mesmerizing and a true highlight of the evening.

The park is surrounded by great amenities, including cafes and restaurants for a warm treat or a quick bite. There’s even a Publix nearby (if you’ve got that kind of budget). Plus, the convenience of two public washroom buildings at opposite ends of the park is a big win for families.

Our tip: go early to beat the crowds and soak in the magic at your own pace. A perfect holiday outing for all ages!

We were staying in the hotel across the street and happened upon this park. Came during the day but returned that night to see the lights. Absolutely beautiful! With the warm Florida weather we were able to take our time walking thru and really enjoying the lights. If you’re in the area it’s a must see!

Went for a walk around this park which is situated in downtown Orlando. What a beautiful park. They decorated the park nicely for Christmas. A nice but of greenery in the Middle of downtown. The park also included an amphitheater where I imagine they bring great acts for people to see. The park is surrounded by plenty of restaurants and places to grab a quick bite.
