We are planning a short stay in Orlando near Universal, but we won't be visiting the parks. Is there anything around there that would be fun for a five-year-old on a Sunday evening?
Our kids loved the Lego store at Downtown Disney. I'm not sure if this counts as a park but no admission is required for the section where Legoland is. Plenty of restaurants, etc. there as well. They have gobs of legos set up in a playground outside the store and kids can build whatever they want. They have a race car ramp. My kids loved building their own cars and racing them down the ramp. They could have stayed there for hours!!!!
We're going to Universal/HRH in May and I'm hoping to go back just to give the boys something to do at night since the parks close so early these days.
