Which of those is your family's top choice for a vacation destination, outside of Orlando? Or do you not venture beyond Orange and Osceola counties when you visit Florida?
Busch Gardens offers a superior collection of roller coasters and thrill rides for theme park fans who are wanting more physical thrills in addition to visiting the Orlando-area theme parks. Legoland offers a more focused alternative for families with elementary-aged kids, who might feel a bit squished in the crowds of so many older kids and adults at the other parks. KSC offers grand history and a window into the science of spaceflight that Disney's Epcot only suggests. And the beach is, well, the beach — an often-tranquil getaway from the sensory overload of a modern theme park.
It's an hour or so in the car, each way, to these destinations, but many families enjoy the alternative when they're visiting the Orlando area. What about your family?
Please tell us in the comments what else you do, besides the theme parks, when you visit Florida. And thank you, again, for reading and being part of the Theme Park Insider community.
So there was a theme park week, followed by a nature/culture week. It was a perfect balance, although we a) exhausted ourselves completely doing eight straight days of theme parking, and b) would have loved to have had another full week to...yep, you guessed it...do more theme parking.
We're all a bunch of addicts, aren't we?
We’re planning a trip to Orlando for 2015, visiting a couple of beaches will be top priority for this upcoming trip.
