The most popular activity for families is to visit the theme parks and there are plenty of them in the area. Disney World is the most famous option and it is made up of four different lands. You can easily spend a week exploring the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and EPCOT. Little children will have the most fun at the Magic Kingdom as a number of the rides and attractions are geared towards the under tens.
Older children may have more fun at Universal Studios which has plenty of big thrill rides and the very popular Harry Potter lands. Those that love water slides will have a great day at Volcano Bay riding some of the biggest water slides in the world.
Those wanting to avoid the main theme parks will still have plenty to do. Discovery Cove offers an exclusive experience that allows guests to swim with dolphins and rays. Seaworld has plenty of big rides, but small children can also have fun looking at the wide variety of marine animals in the park. Go for a ride on ICON Orlando to get a birds-eye view of the city and its theme parks. The wheel reaches 120 metres into the air and is a fun ride for the whole family.
