6) Pirates Dinner Adventure Orlando- Always nice to have one day where you know you won't be hot. There are huge and scary rides, and then there are the lovely rivers where you just float on a tube in a big wide circle. My personal favorite. Ahoy mateys... You have been captured by the pirates for a night of frivolity and fun in Orlando! Join your fellow hostages for a feast fit for a king.

11) Busch Gardens - Another place that is not in Orlando but worth taking the trip to Tampa to visit. Rides, animals, Busch Gardens is a fun and thrilling place that is the ultimate family place to visit. It is a drive of one hour and 20 minutes from Orlando to get to Tampa.
At Busch Gardens there is a 335-acre African-themed animal park, enjoy the ultimate family adventure. The park has one of the largest zoos in North America, with more than 12,000 animals. There are also exciting rides, live shows, restaurants, shops and games. Experience fun and adventure for the whole family.

12) Leu Gardens- Another place to escape the heat, the crowds, and just relax. Gorgeous flower beds, huge gardens, nature trails. I think it would be a great stop on any trip to Orlando to remind yourself that this is really a vacation, not a mind-blowing pageant of activity.

13) Dinosaur World!
The coolest place for young children with a fascination with dinosaurs. The park has a fossil dig, caves, skeleton garden, bone yard and museum. There is over 150 life size dinosaurs and it’s also educational. It is 40 minutes from Orlando but will still probably be the favorite trip for one of your group!

14) Gatorland - Buy Tickets here - $29/person
Holy cow! Rookie Wrestling! (with alligators... for $10!) If you’re not a native to Florida and you want to see some serious gator action this is the place visit. The park was recently renovated and has a pretty sweet splash park for the kids, live gator shows, a train tour of the facility, an aviary an much more. It’s a lot of fun and you can probably see the whole park in less than 6 hours but if you wanted to could spend the whole day without getting bored. It’s cheaper than a theme park but offers the same kind of fun minus the cool rides.
