    Its an open ended question. My two as 5 year olds loved pretty much anywhere we went. I would say beaches (preffered the west coast), national parks, museums (orlando science museum is great) and local parks were a staple visiting diet for us. Any of tube rafting locations are super for a really nice family day out. Also had some great times in Coral Gables, palm beach, rotunda and Celebration was always a hit. At that age anywhere can be fun, ghey are so easy to please.

    Must agree with Christine. I loved Legoland when I went with the grandchildren last year and I was 64 then, and I just love Lowry park zoo.

    Legoland is brilliant for younger children.

    I like Shamu's Happy Harbor at Seaworld for the young ones. You can have a picnic on one of the tables and take it in turns to do the rides or just play in the sand or water areas. I think five year olds are happy to please with any water fountain area like the one at Downtown Disney or the one in Celebration. They also like animals so any petting type attraction will appeal like Green Meadows Petting
    Farm or even something as simple as the small one at Redwings.

    Forgot about Shamus Happy Harbor. Spent many happy hours there. The one is Davy Crockets Ranch at Disney, the bonfire is fun.

    The fountains at Celebration were once described to me as the best free entertainment in Orlando.
    Our grand daughter loved the airboats at Boggy Creek as well.
