Driving
Directions

From Interstate 4,
take the Lee Road exit east. Follow Lee until it dead-ends into
U.S. 17-92, Orlando Avenue. Turn Right on Orlando and go three
blocks past Winter Park Village, then turn left onto Morse Blvd.
There is an Amtrak sign pointing in the right direction. Follow
Morse to downtown Winter Park and the station is on the right.
Park in the station parking lot.
Parking
Details
- contributed by Rich Kimmel
Several long-term
spaces are available at the end of the parking lot, and a few short-term
spaces re available on the side of the lot adjacent to the Amtrak lot on
the west. The Amtrak lot is also free. The city lot is
well-lit, but the Amtrak lot is not-so-well-lit. This part of
Winter Park is pretty safe.

Station Facilities

The
station is small but fairly nice and the restrooms are
clean. There is an inside waiting room and a
ticket agent is on duty whenever the station is open.
If the eastbound Sunset Limited arrives very late at
night, however, there's not an agent on duty then.
Station is safe for families and kids and the city park
is right across the tracks. |
Neighborhood

Upscale
downtown neighborhood with many nice shops and
restaurants on Park Avenue across the park from the
station. |

Rental Cars

You will need to call a rental
car company at the station.
Hotels
- contributed by Rich Kimmel
The only train that stops
late at night is the Sunset Limited when it is running several hours
late. Other trains stop during the day. There are no hotels I
can think of right downtown but there are many hotels in nearby Maitland and
Orlando, such as Holiday Inns and a Radisson.
Food
- contributed by Rich Kimmel
There's a vending
machine at the station, however, there are many upscale restaurants
along Park Avenue which is one block east of the station across a very
nice city park.
Local
Transportation
- contributed by Rich Kimmel
Taxi, primarily.
The area is served by Lynx busses, check
www.golynx.com for more information.
