FAMILY FUN

When it comes to an exciting vacation for the whole family, no place can top Orlando. Orlando is filled with all-ages activities, from thrilling theme park rides at Walt Disney World and water slides to scavenger hunts and spectacular 3D shows. Take the kids to Legoland Florida to spark their creative instincts or bring them to Universal Orlando to experience the magic of Hollywood. Learn about ocean life with a trip to SeaWorld or get up-close to favorite celebrities at Madame Tussauds Orlando. Kids can wave a magic wand at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter or splash around the Jurassic Park River Adventure. In the evening, reserve tickets for family-friendly shows like Blue Man Group or a trip to the Middle Ages with a dinner show at Medieval Times. BestofOrlando.com has all you need for the best family fun.
