Im going to orlando florida during august.?

Question

for 1 week with my family of 2 kids ( 15 & 12 year olds). whats there to do except for theme parks?

Answer 1

If your were going to to just one park with kids that age, I would recommend Islands of Adventure at Universal. - Lots of fun rides.

For non 'theme park' Tourist stuff check out:
Wonder Works - International Drive
Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum - International Drive
DisneyQuest - Downtown Disney

For non touristy stuff check out
Wekiva Springs State Park - Swimming, canoing in natural Florida
Rock Springs at Kelly park - Natural spring fed river tube run
The Beach - Closest is Cocoa Beach about an hour East. Go near the Pier or Ron Jons Surf shop

Answer 2

After going to FL so many times...I finally went to seaworld...We loved it so much and I can't wait to go back there..Its also nice to take a drive to Datona Beach...You can drive on the beach..park the car,..there will be so much to do without going to Disney. There also is the Orlando mall. You should just go to a Barnes and Noble and look in the travel section and get a book on that area..That will give you tons of ideas. Have a great time.

Answer 3

My aunt and that i've got the two been to hawaii its defenitley on no account what you assume. It replaced into gross, and grimy. I defenitey won't bypass lower back lower back i've got been to Honolulu Hawaii and its terrible yet on the different hand Orlando Florida is gorgeous. It has beautiful beaches around in florida. i've got been to Treasure Island FL, too. that is awedsome I reccomend the two Orlando, or Treasure Island. p.s. -- Orlando and Treasure island have great activities to do stuff like Univeral Studios and Harry Potter is likewise a sparkling area of nicely-known Studios, Ripleys' have self belief it or not, department stores, spas etc :)

Answer 4

orlando IS mostly theme parks considering its Disney. But there is a spot called Downtown Disney with lots of shops and restaurants, and theres a place called Pleasure Island that has lots of clubs an comedy shows. Also, there is Circqu De Solei (spelling) the circus show

Answer 5

there isnt much to do besides theme parks unless you're willing to drive out to the beaches. you can try driving out to kissemme which isnt that far from orlando. they have this place called old town there and its kind of like a little amusement park kinda thing. they have this big bungee jump thing and right next to old town, they have this thing called skycoaster (google skycoaster kissemme florida) and i went on it and it was absolutely amazing. it was definitely worth the money. they also have this G-Force drag racing thing where you can actually race the car. i went there a few years ago so my memory isnt too good, so i would google it to get details.

Answer 6

I have a holiday home there and the only time I have done the parks was the very first time. There is so much to do outwith Disney. You can organise Hotair baloon rides, beaches expecially cocoa beach, Excursions etc etc

Answer 7

Expect to miserably hot. Wear sunscreen and light clothes so you wont get over heated. Expect also to be waiting in line for over an hour to ride rides. the experience will be nice, but you will get tired fast from the heat and all the people.
