Places to Visit in Florida besides Disney World

Sea World

Sea World is located on International Drive in Orlando. It is definately the most educational "Park" and a park for any age, 1-99. My son loved this park when he was little. Living in Orlando gave us a special deal where we could buy 1 day and get the rest of the year free. We wore ourselves out. Although the teen crowd may find this park a bit on the boring side, I hear there are new rides and stuff in the works. It may be worth dragging them along.3 points

Universal Studios Orlando gets my top pick for theme parks in Florida other than Disney. It has rides for all ages and lots of rides that all ages can enjoy together. After you're done in the park, stroll through CityWalk where you can catch a flick, grab a margarita, hear the thunder at the Nascar Cafe and much, much more.0 points

Busch Gardens is located in Tampa, FL. I have only visited this park once but found it very enjoyable. They were in the middle of constructing some new rides so I wouldn't think it's fair for me to vote on this one.0 points

Wet N Wild is in Orlando on International Drive. Kids have a blast battling the giant wave pool while parents relax along the Lazy River. There are many water slides. The pools are heated to maintain good temperatures year round. I can't see visiting this park in the dead of winter but when the weather warms up a bit it's a must see adventure! The coolest feature for me as an adult are the credit card bracelets. You swipe your card at the main gate and have bracelets put on the kids. You can swi...0 points

This is the most recent park we have visited. It is in the Universal Studios complex in Orlando. I have been here before but this time I found it kind of boring. It seemed to me that there were just a handful of rides that weren't to "big" for my 11 year old and tons of shops and eateries to spend even more money. My opinion...Don't waste the $60 to spend hundreds more.0 points

Aquatica is owned by Sea World. It's a new water park in Orlando. I haven't been yet but it looks like a great place to spend the day or the summer.0 points

Cypress Gardens was recently made over to be a more family oriented attraction. They have rides, lots of shows including famous country singers and even have their own little water park.0 points

This area was once known for boating up the St. John's River, cutting across Lake George and parking your boat amongst the partying crowd. By land, you can visit the springs although it is a day use only recreation area.1 point

This area is off the beaten path but very accessible. It has primitive camping, a spring, canoeing and more. You can ride 4 wheelers on the trail across the street but not through the park.1 point

Salt Springs is our next place to take a weekend trip. It has springs, primitive & full hook up camping, hiking, boating and more. Elite Resort at Salt Springs is directly across the street and has many RV and tent spots as well as cabins to rent. Elite Resorts is on a lake so you can put your boat in and go fishing as well as play tennis, volleyball, putt-putt & more.0 points

This beach is absolutely beautiful. Although the parking can get tricky, it is well worth the fight. The white sugar sand meets up with the clear blue waveless water to make for the most beautiful sunsets right off the west coast. The Gulf of Mexico doesn't make for good surfing conditions but I rate this one high for families and moonlit walks.1 point

Panama City Beach

This beach is breath taking! It is as beautiful, if not more than Clearwater Beach. It is located in the panhandle of Florida so if you're coming in from the north it would be an easier drive. It seems to be getting more well known for the party crowd and had quite a bit of hotel construction going on when we were there. Dirty Dicks restaurant is a must for seafood lovers. Their hush puppies are to die for and the atmosphere is casual and great for the vacationer.1 point

Once voted the whitest sand it the world! Siesta Key in Sarasota is my favorite beach.1 point

Cocoa is one of our favorites. It's nearly the closest to our house, you can't drive on it which makes it great for the kids and they love boogey boarding in the water. It isn't known for partying and Spring Break so it's a nice family atmosphere. You can also park in little "beach parks" that have bathrooms and showers to rinse off before getting back in the car. It's not to hard to find a parking spot on an average day. It IS well known for Cocoa's Surf Festivals though so to avoid a crowd, ch...0 points

This is a nice beach if you aren't quite ready for the Daytona crowd. Last I heard you could drive on the beach (don't get stuck in the soft sand). I would recommend this beach for families with teens that may be planning to get a hotel for the weekend.0 points

Once known as the hot spot for spring breakers, this beach is trying to become more family friendly. If you are planning a vacation here, choose your dates wisely. Daytona has many events that draw huge crowds like race weeks, bike week and more. Make sure you visit the Daytona flea market and Daytona USA. You can also bet on the dogs while you are in town.0 points

This is probably the closest mall to the Disney resorts. I have to warn you though. It isn't neccessarily for the vacationer on a budget. It is full of fine department and boutique stores. Bring your deep wallets to this one.0 points

Florida Mall

This mall is fairly close to the resorts. It is usually full of tourists. It has the most stores that I have seen in a Central Florida mall. There is a wide variety of shopping here. You can find the normal mall stores as well as hard to find shops like the M&M store. There's a surfing pool in one of the stores for your teens to play while you shop and even a hotel in case all that spending wears you out.0 points

Fashion Square Mall

This mall has gotten quieter over the years. It is the closest to downtown Orlando. It's a nice mall with a variety of shops but I can't think of anything out of the ordinary about it that you would want to go out of your way for. I do recommend it for locals though.0 points

Oviedo Mall

If you've heard of this mall then you definately live nearby. It is located out of the way in a small family friendly town. It is usually VERY quiet and doesn't offer the wide variety of stores that the others do.0 points

This mall is a bit of a drive down I-4 from the resort areas. It offers tons of stores in the mall plus a wide variety of shopping in centers nearby. This is a great place for a full day of shopping.0 points

Altamonte Springs Mall is about 15 minutes north of Orlando just east of I-4. It is a very large indoor mall. They have great 4th of July fireworks, too.0 points
