New ideas?

[petunia]

We frequent Disney on a yearly basis, but as the kids are getting older (21, 18, 11, 9) I like to try 1 or 2 new/different things, in or outside Disney. We have done all the parks, waterparks, Universal, mini putting, Ifly and Cirque..any other not too expensive ideas?

There's a nature type park in Kissimmee off of 192 pretty close to Disney you can have a picnic and kayak. They have tours also but you can park for free and just walk around.

We tried the Orlando Eye, the Wax Museum and the Sea Life Aquarium last time we were there (2015) and enjoyed them all!
We also went to Wonderworks - it's a great place for all ages! My husband and I had as much funs as the kids did I think! You can sometimes find deals on Groupon for there as well.
There are some dinner shows and luaus but we have done any of those yet.
We are going to try Gatorland this year as we haven't done that before either.

We did Boggy Creek Airboat one of our trips and it was awesome! Kind of a "nature break". Boat goes fast enough that kids like it, then stops to look at certain scenery (including a small gator in our case)... what I did not really care for Gatorland. I think if you had a real alligator enthusiast they may enjoy but for us it was just "eh".

We are going to Wild Florida for airboat rides and to pet a Sloth !

Thanks all, we have done gator land as well, too scary for me to return lol. Wonderworks looks neat. Is there ever a discount on the wild trek in AK? I dont recall the price, but I recall thinking it was very high for a family of 6.

Check out Winter Park's Scenic Boat Tour and the Morse Museum. If you visit on a Saturday there's a very cute farmer's market. It's a different kind of tourist activity but it's a lovely town to visit!
