    Other thing to do??

    Hi all

    This will be our 5 trip ( villa booked via here again ) and taking the inlaws with us, so can anyone give us a few pointer on places to go, ( none disney / seaworld / universal )

    we are going to take them to Bush Garden and nasa, but can anyone recommend anywhere that suitable for all, including our 5 year old.

    Thanks in advance

    What time of the year are you going? I ask this as there are some seasonal things that could be considered

    I am going in December and will not be doing the main parks. One of the places I will be going to is Tavares, not far. They have the "Orange Blossom Cannonball Steam Train" a vintage wood burning train ride, they also do lake/canal tours and also seaplane rides. There is also Orlando Zoo at Sanford. There are also plenty of gardens like Bok Tower. If you have never been to a Legoland that is quite good.

    I hope this may help.

    Regards

    The Morse Museum, while in Winter Park a Scenic Boat Tour is also a good idea.

    I was going to say Bok tower - we have been. Good for a relaxing stroll your 5 year old should be fine. My son was around 9 when we went and got a bit bored. Have you considered an air boat ride - these are good fun and suitable for all ages. Make sure you also have a least one day at the beach.

    The Aquarium in Tampa, not too far to drive and then maybe a couple of hours on the beach before returning.
