Tell me about the things that you do in Orlando that are off the beaten path. Things that aren't so high energy. Things that kids will enjoy, but so will adults.

Looking for quiter things to do for decompression!

We actually really enjoyed the Ripley's museum although I don't know how much fun it would be for kids.

Well, for starters, there's the Enzian, Leu Gardens, Orlando Science Center (with a new Children's museum!), the Orange County Regional History Center, and my 12-year-old nephew's favorite, Gatorland..

A few years ago, we rented air boats (like from Gentle Ben). They were fun to "tool around" in for a while.

We love dixie stampede and the water park and walking around the nice malls.

How about the Kennedy Space Center? Not in Orlando, but certainly do-able in a day. If you are planning a spring trip, don't forget about all the spring training games in and around the Orlando area. Then there's always Daytona beach.
