Make all your reservations for all of your traveling party. This should include your airfare, car rental (if renting a car), hotel reservations, and a wealth of other choices for both the adults and children in your family. Look for package deals - including those with air, hotel and car rental services secured so you don't have troubles finding them too soon. You'll have better rates and availability if you plan ahead, especially inside the summer and December-holiday seasons when most tourists come.
Pack for your trip. Bring clothes that are meant for warmer weather, even in the Winter months. Pack enough clothes for both the kids and the relatives that are traveling with the child. Pack at least some sunscreen for each, as well as hats, sneakers/walking shoes, and medications. Pack a snack and some entertainment for the trip. Make sure that all your packable clothes are lightweight and breathable, given Orlando's hot, humid climate most of the year.
Recognize that there are a lot of kid-friendly places in Orlando you can choose. Recognize some of the ideas that draw kids ecstatic upon the knowledge of going to Orlando (Florida). Orlando hosts many playgrounds, waterparks and museums. However, the Orlando Science Center and Crayola Experience surely stand out to most for the interactive exhibits where kids can learn through having some fun.
Get to know what your kids are into. Depending on the kid's tastes, they can either be into theme parks and fun or not so much fun and more education. Between zoos and the wealth of libraries that present education to the child, to the wealth of more fun and educational places, to the few (non-Disney/Universal places), there's a wealth of stuff to do with the kids just in Orlando alone. Plan with your children, looking through family travel blogs and forums pages from other travelers who've visited Orlando with families - to gauge your kids preferences for your choices. You might have an animal lover or scientist with artistry inside your child.
Look to visit Walt Disney World for a few days. Between a few days at the Magic Kingdom and Disney's Animal Kingdom to Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios, almost all kids' eyes will light up when you say that you can take them there. Plan at the bare minimum 1 day at each of the parks, and make sure that one of those parks is the Magic Kingdom park. Take breaks often during these days - to avoid massive overwhelm. With many Disney features, it's imminent that you'll visit one of Disney's child care centers for an emergency or some rest.
Look at viewing the kid-friendly SeaWorld Orlando. With so many live-action animal attractions, this should be another spot you can take in on a kid's trip to Orlando. There are many kid-friendly exhibits here. Shows including their dolphin shows are popular, as well as watching the Shamu show at specific times are also popular. Bloggers tend to mention experiences like feeding the dolphins and meeting those walking characters, provide some kid-friendly activities.
Look to take in LEGOLAND Florida at the former home of Cypress Gardens just a few minutes from Orlando in Winter Haven, FL (part of the suburbs of Orlando). Most of the park here is kid-friendly. However, kids most often like looking at most of the park's exhibits and Lego bricks, along with those in the Lego City area which show Lego bricks being used to build an entire collection of cities.
Look to take in one day at the Universal Resort. Plan at least one day at Islands of Adventure where a whimsical land called Seuss Landing, and Toon Lagoon even have a few attractions that inspire the kids everywhere you are. Look for a few attractions in Universal Studios across the walkway to offer a few attractions that are kid-friendly (such as the Animal Actor's Stage and a few others around the park). Universal features many shows and parades, along with Looney Tunes and Marvel character meet-and-greets, but do realize that not all these rides are suitable for younger children, especially if you parkhop to and from its Islands of Adventure (park) in the same day - based on height and suitability for theming alone.
Look for awesome museums the kids can visit if time persists. With the wealth of other museums in Orlando, what better places to visit than museums? But be careful as some museums are not very kid-friendly. One of the great choices lies just at the corner of the Orlando, FL border at WonderWorks on International Drive. WonderWorks is so close to the border, its literal neighbor has a Kissimmee, FL address, and it has an Orlando, FL address.This whimsical-looking museum (as seen from the outside) will have your kids wondering if it will fall over once you get inside. Later, they realize that it won't, all pointing to the fact that they've learned a little science.Wonderworks.jpg Look for other awesome exhibit places on International Drive in Orlando, to exist. For those chocolate lovers, browse through the World of Chocolate Museum. Take a stroll through the Ripley's Believe it Or Not Museum.Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum.jpg Learn about the Titanic. Near Orlando, there's a museum that's completely devoted to the Titanic.Titanic The Experience.jpg Learn about Orlando Fire Museum. Housed in a restored 1926 firehouse, you'll learn about Orlando's firefighting history, and it's preservation and showcasing of antique firestuff. Kids can climb on the fire trucks, as well as experience firefighting tools and equipment up-close and personal. Look at some of the kids' art at the Orlando Museum of Art. Although there's a $15 admission fee to enter, some of their exhibits can engage children, which can be touched, manipulated, and contributed to, and programs that get children learning by creating their own art based on the exhibits - all ranging from bold-colored art to patterns on sculptures and digital displays.
