Sea World is one of the best parks in Orlando. There are so many amazing animals on display. The shows are just fantastic, especially Shamu. There is a HUGE play area for the kids. Tons of things to climb on, slide down, crawl through & they can even get wet! There are some pretty scary coasters for the thrill seeks, and Journey to Atlantis is a little more mild. Delicious food & beer, and great shops complete the experience!

Busch Gardens is a blast! Of course, it's filled with some amazing coasters, but if you arent a fan of those, there is still plenty to do! The animals are amazing and the kids can have a blast in the Sesame Street area. Plenty of beer for the adults, if that's your thing, and bunches of yummy food. The shops have something for everyone.

Weeki Wachee is great. And it's been around forever! The water park is great! Small, but plenty to do. And the park itself is a lot of fun. Awesome animal shows, a few rides, and who can forget the mermaid show? Seriously, where else are you going to go & watch a "real live" mermaid show? The kids will really enjoy this one.

If you are in the area, you should totall visit Kennedy Space Center. There really is nowhere else like it. The kids will love it. Where else can you see the things you can see there? But it can be kind of pricey. The ride is a lot of fun. And if you get lucky enough to visit during a launch, what an amazing sight!

Ft Desoto Park is a beautiful place to spend the day. Very calm waves wont knock the kids about, but they are small enough to be fun. Plenty of shells to find, but not so many you can't walk. The water is clean & fresh and the sand is white. My kids also enjoyed exploring the nearby fort and walking down the pier.
