SeaWorld Orlando | kids travel, kids activities
SeaWorld Orlando
7007 SeaWorld Drive,
Orlando,
Florida 32821
"Watery Fishy Fun"
Sea World is a great place to take kids of any age. The little ones will delight at seeing all the fish and the older ones will love the roller coasters. It's a win-win situation for any family. The shows are amazing, funny and watery (the splash zones are clearly marked). There is a dedicated area for kids at Shamu's Happy Harbor with height appropriate rides (including a small rollar coaster!). They can even feed animals at Sea World. Tons of stuff to do for everyone here. You will not be disappointed in visiting this spot!

Orlando Science Center

"Fun, fun, fun!"
The OSC is a great spot to take your kids, no matter the age. There is something there for everyone to enjoy. Plus, they have dinosaur bones and what kid doesn't love dinosaur bones? The bottom floor has a great interactive area where kids can splash around in water tables, transport oranges and crawl in a tree (and under it!). There is a great room on the main floor where you can let little ones explore (and its a great spot to nurse if you need to). Beware of school field trips because they can take the whole place over. Best time to visit is early in the am. Great place and tons of stuff to do.

EPCOT - Disney | kids travel, kids activities
EPCOT - Disney
Epcot Center Drive,
Lake Buena Vista,
Florida 32830
"Disney's Educational Spot"
Visiting Epcot is a fun relaxing way to experience Disney. It doesn't have the hussel and bussel of MK and the crowds tend to be less here. It is an educational experience and the attractions are geared more towards older kids and adults. My 3 yo loved the Nemo ride, but wasn't too interested in visiting any of the countries. It is very low key park and is best experienced when you want to take it easy and just stroll around, not wait in line for a ride.

De Leon Springs State Park | kids travel, kids activities
De Leon Springs State Park
601 Ponce de Leon Boulevard,
De Leon Springs,
Florida
"Great Outdoor Fun"
This park is a great place for family fun. You can make your own pancakes at the old Sugar Mill and on hot days you can take a dip in the springs. Be warned though, the water is very, very cold. There are walking trails to scout for wildlife and there is also the option of taking boat tours along the water. Tours are additional to the cost of admission, which is super cheap. There's lots of history to be found at the De Leon Springs. It is well worth the drive!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom | kids travel, kids activities
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Disney Animal Kingdom,
Exit 65 off of I-4,
Lake Buena Vista,
Florida 32830
"Amazing Adventure!"
Disney does it very well with Animal Kingdom. Its the best zoo around! There's always animals to be seen, fun things to do and of course, it's Disney! The rides are really great and worth waiting in line for. The safari ride is really great and you get to see tons of animals. The Camp Mickey Minnie area is lots of fun and you can even see and get your photo taken with Minnie and Mickey! The Lion King show is spactacular even if your young one will be expecting the animated version, not the live version. You should take your kids at least once to AK. Well worth the money!
