About Lake Nona

Although it feels like a town of its own, Lake Nona is part of the City of Orlando, which recognises four neighbourhoods inside it, Northlake Park among them.

Its 650-acre Medical City brings in a very different traveller from the theme parks: the children’s hospital run by Nemours, the VA’s Orlando medical center and UCF’s medical school all sit here, along with the USTA National Campus for tennis.

Arrival notes for Lake Nona

  • Visiting a hospital or clinic? Name the building; the big campuses sit close together.
  • Some homes, such as those around the golf club in the Estates, are gated. Check with your host how guests get through.
  • Tennis families: list racket bags and coolers as luggage so the vehicle has room.

Questions travellers ask

How far is Lake Nona from Orlando airport?

About 10 miles, roughly 15 to 20 minutes without traffic. It is one of the shortest rides from MCO.

Can you take us from Lake Nona to the theme parks?

Yes, though it is a longer drive than from the airport itself, since Lake Nona is on the opposite side of the airport from the resort area.

Do you drive to Nemours Children’s Hospital?

Yes. Give us the building and entrance you need. Child seats are included if you are travelling with children.
