Fun Spot Action Park

Have a great family time out at this award winning Amusement Park. Fun Spot is located on International Drive and had traditional rides catering for the very young to the older generation. Unlike the other parks, at Fun Spot you pay only per ride, there's free parking and if you fancy a family tournament, we can definitely recommend the go-karting they have at the park. Top day out without busting mum and dad's credit card!

Discovery Cove

A trip to Discovery cove is a once in a lifetime 'must do'. It's an all-inclusive day out limited to around 1300 persons in the park each day (to give everyone time to make the most out of the experience.) Enjoy a thrilling 30 minute swim with the Dolphins, snorkel with sting rays and fish in the newest addition to this incredible theme park, Grand Barrier Reef. The all-inclusive experience means you get breakfast, lunch and unlimited drinks while in the park. Memories to last a lifetime

Kennedy Space Centre

No trip to Orlando is complete without a day visiting the Kennedy Space Centre, 60 miles east of Orlando at Cape Canaveral. Take a tour of NASA'S launch and landing facilities, experience the shuttle simulator and discover how it feels to be an astronaut. You can even meet and dine with an astronaut too! A thrilling day out for everyone.

NBA Basketball

Catch a basketball game while holidaying in Orlando - it is great fun even if you're not an avid fan. The Orlando Magic's are in the NBA (the premier league of basketball) and their home games are played in the Amway Arena, Orlando - just a short drive from wherever you are staying. It's well worth checking online to see when their home games are and if it matches your holiday dates. It's great fun for all the family, relatively inexpensive and there's a brilliant atmosphere guaranteed!

Gatorland

Located between Orlando and Kissimmee and open now more than 60 years, Gatorland is a unique park showcasing Hundreds of Alligators & Crocodiles in their natural environment. Get up close and personal with them (not too close though of course!). Fun for all the family doesn't stop there, try out the awesome Gator zip line, enjoy an animal show or why not check out the free flight aviary. It's an excellent day out with some educational experiences along the way, the children will be talking of this for years to come.
