Book an Orlando holiday and visit the penguins

Families planning winter sun holidays in Florida could add a touch of seasonal magic to their trip with a visit to the Penguin Encounter exhibit at SeaWorld.

Dubbed the theme park's "slice of the Antarctic", the attraction is home to a bunch of playful penguins who are only too happy to show off.

This is sure to delight children, as the animals race through the water, waddle along the ice and make some general mischief.

Inside the exhibit, the air is kept at a chilly 30 degrees, while real snow helps to provide the perfect icy conditions for the penguins.

Visitors will therefore be able to experience a little wintertime magic even when the Florida sun is shining outside.

Of course there's also the Wild Arctic exhibit for those who really want to 'chill out' at SeaWorld.

This particular area is surrounded by thick icy walls and is home to walruses, beluga whales and polar bears.

SeaWorld is located in Orlando, so those renting Florida villas near the city will be able to spend a day exploring the attraction.

Calabay Park could be a good place to stay, as it is just minutes away from SeaWorld, as well as Orlando's other main attractions like Disney World and Universal Studios.
