About Maitland
Just north of Winter Park, Maitland pairs lakeside parks with a strong arts identity. Around Lake Lily, you’ll find a sculpture-dotted green, a weekly market, and historic homes turned museums; a few minutes away, the Maitland Art Center (a National Historic Landmark) anchors galleries and workshops. Neighborhoods feel tucked-in and tree-lined, yet everyday errands, cafés, and SunRail access stay close. With pocket parks, good rec facilities, and a steady stream of outdoor events, Maitland delivers an easy, cultured version of Central Florida living.
What Locals Love
Lake Lily Park is the community’s living room—walk the loop, watch ducks along the boardwalk, and pop into the nearby Waterhouse Residence Museum. Families split time between art stops at the A&H Museums of Maitland, movies under the oaks at the Enzian Theater, and playtime at Maitland Community Park, where courts and shaded trails make quick after-school outings simple. The city calendar stays busy with outdoor concerts, markets, and family nights that don’t require a long drive.
-
Favorite quick outing: a Lake Lily lap, then coffee and the farmers market.
-
Easy nature fix: 45 minutes on the shaded paths at Maitland Community Park.

Things to do in Maitland, FL
Lake Lily Park
A lakeside staple with a stroller-friendly loop, boardwalk viewpoints, and lawns for picnics or tag. Historic houses and the Sunday market sit a few steps away, so it’s easy to turn a short walk into a relaxed morning. Tip: bring bread for ducks (where posted as permitted) and plan photos by the water at golden hour.
Art & History Museums of Maitland (Maitland Art Center + Waterhouse Residence & Carpentry Shop)
Two campuses, two flavors: the Art Center’s Mayan Revival architecture frames galleries and hands-on programs, while the Waterhouse Residence shows Victorian life on the lake. It’s bite-size culture that works for kids and grown-ups alike. Tip: check the calendar for family workshops and free-admission days.
Enzian Theater
An indie cinema under the trees with patio seating, family series, and festival events. Order food to your seat, enjoy pre-show lawn time, and let the experience feel more picnic than multiplex. Tip: arrive early for patio tables on busy nights; bring a light layer for evening screenings.
