Things to Do in Orlando

With theme parks, roller coasters, unique attractions, and a pleasant average high of 80°F, we can’t think of a better place to bring the family for a pre-summer getaway. With the world at your fingertips, it’s hard to pick the perfect things to do when you only have limited time. Here’s what we’d suggest by age range.

Ages 0–4

• Peppa Pig Theme Park is specifically designed for preschoolers, with small rides, interactive play, and live shows that bring Peppa’s world to life.
• The Crayola Experience at Florida Mall hosts Toddler Tuesdays, with specific activities for small hands and busy bodies.
• My Little Town is an indoor play place with lots to do and see. Perfect for a drizzly day.

Ages 5–9

• LEGOLAND has a range of rides and activities for kids of all ages, so don’t skip out if your kids are a little younger or much older! Here, you’ll be fully immersed in the world of Lego.
• Disney’s Magic Kingdom is where magic comes to life. It’s impossible to talk about things to do in Orlando without mentioning the Disney parks!
• Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens is the epitome of a classic zoo experience, getting you and the kids up close and personal with some amazing creatures.

Ages 10–15

• Universal Orlando Resort has something for everyone. Even if you don’t think your tween/teen is a thrill seeker, Universal has a way of teasing exploration out of even the most adventure-shy kids. Definitely not a thrill-seeker? That’s okay. There are lots of rides to choose from.
• Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is interactive, inspiring, and out-of-this-world fun for kids and parents alike.
• Andretti Indoor Karting & Games is a full day of fun under one roof. Go-karting, arcade games, laser tag, and more. Andretti keeps you on your toes.

Top Tip for a Great Spring Break

Don’t rush! This is your Spring Break. Many times, families feel pressure from constant scrolling, highlight reels, and itineraries on social media that make it seem like they need to do it all. Take this as your permission to lift your foot off the gas.

Our tip for a fun Spring Break in Orlando? Just pick one or two big activities, like a theme park or day trip, and spend the rest of your time being exactly where you are; be it a day at the beach, exploring the city, or relaxing at the hotel. Orlando is full of surprises, and sometimes the quiet moments spent reconnecting with your family while you kick your feet in the pool are the most special. Don’t jam-pack your schedule. You being here, with your family, is enough.
