Winter Park and Rollins College Visitor Guide

SunRail stops in Winter Park at the Winter Park/Amtrak station, 148 West Morse Boulevard, one stop north of the AdventHealth station in Orlando (SunRail).

The City of Orlando describes SunRail as Monday through Friday service and counts four of its stations inside Orlando (City of Orlando SunRail page), while SunRail's own site promotes Late Night Service and a new schedule (SunRail), so the current SunRail schedule is the check before planning a weekend trip by train. The station shares its name with Amtrak, and SunRail notes that parking there is subject to city ordinances and availability (SunRail).

Winter Park is its own city, not an Orlando neighborhood, with City Hall at 401 South Park Avenue and a main line of 407-599-3399 (City of Winter Park). Rollins College sits on the banks of Lake Virginia in Winter Park, just north of Orlando, and its address is 1000 Holt Avenue (Rollins College; Rollins Museum of Art).

The Rollins Museum of Art on the Rollins College campus is free for all visitors and open Tuesday through Sunday, with a late night until 7pm on Thursdays (Rollins Museum of Art).

The museum also closes on holidays and during installations. Its posted closures are November 26 and 27, 2026, December 24, 25 and 31, 2026, and January 1, 2027 (Rollins Museum of Art). The museum line is 407.646.2526 (Rollins Museum of Art).

A second stop for the same collection is The Alfond Inn, where the Rollins Museum of Art shows more than 100 artworks from its collection (Rollins Museum of Art). The City of Winter Park lists The Alfond Inn at 300 East New England Avenue (City of Winter Park arts directory).

Rollins College requires every vehicle on campus, visitors included, to be registered with its Department of Campus Safety, and visitors obtain a Visitor Parking Permit (Rollins campus parking).

Campus parking rules at Rollins are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and vehicles parked illegally are ticketed by Campus Safety (Rollins campus parking). Prospective students on an admission visit are routed from the Truist Parking Garage to Rinker Building, home to the Office of Admission (Rollins College).

During the Park Avenue Refresh work, construction zones closed adjacent parking spaces on Park Avenue one to two blocks at a time, and the city added temporary parking on Morse Boulevard between New York and Virginia avenues (City of Winter Park, Park Avenue Refresh).

Boaters heading to the Winter Park Chain of Lakes have a separate rule set: trailer parking at Dinky Dock Park is first come, first served, and when it fills, parking must be found offsite (City of Winter Park boating).

Beyond its museum, Rollins College runs the Annie Russell Theatre, which Rollins calls the longest continuously operating theater in Florida, and is home to the Bach Festival Society of Winter Park (Rollins arts and culture).

Rollins was founded in 1885 by New England Congregationalists who wanted to bring liberal arts education to the Florida frontier, and the campus faces Lake Virginia (Rollins College). The Annie Russell Theatre stages musicals and dramas through the year with student and faculty performers (Rollins arts and culture).

The Bach Festival Society of Winter Park is the third-oldest continuously operating Bach Festival in the United States and Central Florida's oldest operating performing arts organization, according to Rollins (Rollins arts and culture). The City of Winter Park lists the Annie Russell Theatre at 1000 Holt Avenue with box office line 407-646-2145, and the Bach Festival Society at the same campus address with 407-646-2182 (City of Winter Park arts directory).

The City of Winter Park lists the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art at 445 North Park Avenue (City of Winter Park arts directory).

Every address and phone in that table comes from the city arts and culture directory (City of Winter Park arts directory). The city directory gives no hours, so the Morse Museum's own line, 407-645-5311, is the check before a visit.

The city public art collection includes Tree Whisperers at the Winter Park Train Station and Molecular Dog in Shady Park at Hannibal Square, and Rhythmic Colors is its newest outdoor addition (City of Winter Park arts directory).

The Winter Park Saturday Farmers' Market runs every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Central Park West Meadow at New York Avenue and Morse Boulevard (City of Winter Park Farmers' Market).

A few times a year the market moves to Seven Oaks Park so the meadow can host the Autumn Art Festival, Cows 'n Cabs and the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival, and the city posts the relocation dates on its pages and social media (City of Winter Park Farmers' Market).

The Winter Park Chain of Lakes is open to visitors with the right pass. Motorboats need a Winter Park boat sticker or day pass before launching, boats must be under 24 feet, and no boat wider than 8 feet may enter a canal. Canoes, kayaks and paddleboards pay no fee. Day passes are sold online, at City Hall and at the Winter Park Library, and the Lake Baldwin Park ramp on Lakemont Avenue takes most fishing boats (City of Winter Park boating).

The Winter Park Library on West Morse Boulevard opens Monday to Thursday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 12 to 6 p.m. (Winter Park Library; City of Winter Park boating).

Winter Park finished Phase 1 of the Park Avenue Refresh, from Webster to Garfield avenues, and held its Phase I Complete Celebration on October 13, 2026 (City of Winter Park, Park Avenue Refresh; City of Winter Park).

The Winter Park Community Redevelopment Agency approved $2.5 million for Phase 1 on August 27, 2025. The work laid conduit for new electrical, fiber and irrigation lines, repaired broken sidewalks, curbs and raised planters, added treatments at intersections and installed new street lights (City of Winter Park, Park Avenue Refresh). Construction had closed the right-of-way, adjacent parking and the one southbound lane one to two blocks at a time while keeping pedestrian traffic open (City of Winter Park, Park Avenue Refresh).

The bigger change ahead belongs to Rollins. Rollins says its museum will move to a new 32,000-square-foot building in downtown Winter Park, designed by Frederick Fisher and Partners and scheduled to open in early 2028, more than doubling gallery space (Rollins Museum of Art).
