Altamonte Springs - Visit Florida

Only 15 minutes north of downtown Orlando, 30 minutes north of Walt Disney World, and less than an hour from Daytona Beach, the city of Altamonte Springs is conveniently located near Central Florida’s major attractions while offering plenty to see and do within the city.

A wide variety of shopping and dining choices can be found at the business and urban residential district of Uptown Altamonte, home to the Altamonte Mall. Its focal point, lakefront Cranes Roost Park, features an amphitheater, a 61-jet fountain that displays choreographed shows, a European-style plaza, and a 19-foot-tall steel crane sculpture. At the 45-acre park, visitors can stroll or jog along the waterfront, fish, picnic, and attend special events, which include Battle of the Bands, Red Hot & Boom, and Light up the Holidays.

Altamonte Springs also offers a cutting-edge way to get around town with CraneRIDES, its autonomous vehicle shuttle. The service runs through Uptown Altamonte, stopping at Altamonte Mall, Renaissance Centre, Cranes Roost, and AMC Altamonte Mall 18.

While in the area, a visit to Wekiwa Springs State Park, just seven miles northwest of Uptown Altamonte, is a must. In addition to swimming in clear freshwater springs, the state park offers fishing and paddling on the Wekiva River, hiking and biking trails, camping, and more.
