Andretti Indoor Karting and Games

Do you feel the need for speed?  Head over to Andretti’s on Universal Boulevard for food, fun, and fast!  The entire family will enjoy the night out to play a few video games or take a ride in the go-karts.

Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures

If you are looking for a fun morning or afternoon out with the kiddos, head on over to Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures. Not only will you be able to ride airboats, but you can pan for gems and visit the butterfly garden as well.

Central Florida Zoo

Take the kids for a day out at the Central Florida Zoo. They can see the animals, feed the giraffes, view a reptile show, go on a tree trek and more. After the zoo, stop into downtown Sanford to grab some lunch at Hollerbach’s German Restaurant or at Henry’s Depot.

Crayola Experience

Color Spring Break week magical!  Take the kiddos to the Crayola Experience where they can let their imaginations run wild.  They can even make their own crayons!

Gatorland

We are in the gator capital of the world, so take the kiddos to see some alligators – at a safe distance of course. Gatorland is much more than just alligators. They have an aviary, a petting zoo, a train ride, a splash park, multiple shows and more.

ICON Park

Orlando is not all theme parks.  Put ICON Park on your “to do” list during Spring Break.  Visit the Wheel at ICON Park, Museum of Illusions, and In the Game just to name a few.   There is so much to do, you may want to get there early!

iFly

Get ready to unleash your inner daredevil and head over to iFly.  Expertly trained professionals help you feel the joy of free falling while keeping you relatively close to the ground.  This one-of-a-kind skydiving experience is open to children three and older.

Kennedy Space Center

321 blast off!  The Kennedy Space Center offers visitors both a blast from the past and a look into the future of space travel.  Kids can see the mission control room from Apollo 8, see a rocket up close and explore a space shuttle. A visit to Kennedy Space Center is better suited for elementary and middle school-aged children.

Leu Gardens

The Harry P. Leu Gardens is beautiful to visit any time of year. Take the kids to walk around the gardens, interact with the butterflies in the Butterfly Garden, learn about vegetables in the Vegetable Garden, stop and smell the roses in the Rose Garden or use their imagination in the Idea Garden. Children will also enjoy hunting for The Secret Garden.

Margaritaville

Talk about one-stop shopping for Spring Break!  Plan a weekend or spend the week at Margaritaville in Orlando and you will not be disappointed.  The kiddos will love hanging at the kids’ club and the grownups laze around the poolside.

Medieval Times

Medieval Times is back and better than ever.  The show is a perfect way to spend a Spring Break night with delicious food, drink, and battling knights for the fair princess’s hand.

Mini Golfing

I don’t think Spring Break is complete without a little golfing.  There are so many locations in Orlando to play mini golf with a variety of themes including pirates, shipwrecks, travel locations and more.

Old Town USA

Old Town USA is a classic theme park with a carnival-like atmosphere.  This combination makes it perfect for a Spring Break day.  Enjoy the carousel, classic cars, live shows every weekend, the Ferris wheel, or be a real daredevil and tackle the Hurricane rollercoaster.

Orlando Science Center

Learning can still happen, even during Spring Break.  Visit the Orlando Science Center as they host a myriad of programs for little learners in Kidstown and everyone will enjoy feeding the fish and other sea life in Nature Works.

Play Tennis

Show off your tennis skills or gain some new ones by visiting the United States Tennis Association National Campus in Lake Nona.  Not into tennis, then try out padel; the kids absolutely loved it! It has a much faster learning curve than tennis. Just twenty minutes from OIA, visitors can play for free (we recommend getting there early to secure a court).  Once done, you can grab lunch at the Net Post Grill (we recommend sitting outside) or head over to the Town Center and grab lunch at Boxi Park.

Take a Boat Tour

If you’re looking for a relaxing day with the kiddos, take them on a boat ride with the Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour.  Go for an hour-long boat ride through the Winter Park chain of lakes.  Once done, stroll through town and visit some of the local shops and eateries.

Tree Trek Adventure

Looking for an adventure for the entire family?  Then visit Orlando’s Tree Trek Adventure Park.  They have rope courses for all abilities for children six and older.  Besides tree trekking, visitors can dare to ride the 425-foot zipline but make to book your adventures in advance because the park does fill up quickly.

Visit a Waterpark

Orlando has plenty of waterparks to visit during Spring Break week; you have a choice between Universal’s Volcano Bay, Aquatica, or Blizzard Beach.  Beat the heat and spend the day cooling off all while having fun!

Wekiwa Springs

Central Florida put the “spring” in Spring Break!  Florida has beautiful natural springs, and a few are right in our backyard.  Wekiwa Springs offers the entire family a fun-filled day of relaxation, swimming, and a chance to see some wildlife too.

Westgate River Ranch Resort and Rodeo

A dude ranch in Florida?  Yes please!  Horseback riding, a Saturday night rodeo, teepees, cabins, and fun glamping options, Westgate River Ranch Resort and Rodeo in Polk County will prove to be an unforgettable family vacation.
