Take your kids to Gatorland for a fun day of interaction with wildlife. Here you can observe alligators, or even feed them from a safe distance. The wildlife reserve park is also home to hundreds of other reptiles, birds, and mammals. Gatorland also stages a variety of shows and offers activities like a zip-line, as well as nighttime 'gator feeding tours done by flashlight.
It's recommended that you buy a two-day pass if you want to explore Universal Orlando Resort to the fullest, because it in fact consists of two separate parks: Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. Fans of Harry Potter rush here to experience the Wizarding World of Harry Potter or tour Hogwarts Castle. Even if you're not much of a movie buff, the parks offer rides aplenty to keep your adrenalin going.
It's hardly a trip to Orlando without at least a day at Disney World. Orlando's Disney World is the largest theme park resort in the world. When you stay in a vacation home nearby, you'll definitely want to take your kids to the Magic Kingdom, which is where you'll find the rides the park is known for, like Pirates of the Caribbean and Splash Mountain. It's also here that the children can meet their favourite Disney characters.
For a more diverse, sophisticated experience at Disney, head to Epcot. This park offers a multitude of different international-themed pavilions, rides that envision the future, and seasonal cultural events. The kids will also be able to meet some of their Disney heros, like Belle and Snow White, at this park.
