    - Wait until they’re older!
    Sunday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Nature & Wildlife Areas
    
    
    This is my 3rd or 4th time visiting the Alligator Farm but it’s been a few years. This was my first time with my 2 granddaughters- 3 and 20 months. It was fun, but they were done after about an hour and a half. They were only interested in the alligators and crocodiles for a while and feeding them was fun. We arrived too late for the 12:00 show and they were ready to go before the 3:-show. The prices have increased and at $35 for each adult (x5) and $20 for the 3year old (under 2 was free) … it was quite an expensive trip. At that price point, I was hoping that they had added some other animals. I would recommend this for older kids… but don’t spend this kind of money on the toddlers. See more..

    The Old Jail Museum is in a complex north of the colonial town that has a number of activites, tours and shops. The workers in the complex all dress up like they're from the 1800s and walk around acting their parts. For example, there was a convict in stripes looking gruff and angry walking around and grumbling about the unfair treatment, hangmans noose, etc. He totally stayed in character when I said "How can they just let the criminals walk the streets here." Then he followed us around a bit. It was really funny. We had only a few hours, so we did the Oldest Store Museum tour and it was so much fun. The gentleman guide was a salesman and he played up the part in really cute ways. Very interactive and fun tour - and so cool to see all the old contraptions!! We were sad to not have time to do everything and will 100% be back. See more..

99. 4.5 Fort De Soto Park (2.857 reviews)
    - Plenty of space and shallow waters
    State Parks
    
    
    We’re staying in the Orlando area but have vacationed in Florida many times over the years and been to the park a few times. It’s around 90 miles drive from Orlando but worth the effort as not only is it cheap to enter ($5 per car) but there are plenty of beach areas to choose from and no problems parking. We went to North Beach and the beach is only a short walk from the parking area (there’s also a small cafe selling snacks/drinks/beach stuff and clean rest rooms). The beach has a wide expanse of white sand and the waters are shallow for quite a way out, which makes it ideal for kids. Relax and enjoy!! See more..
