Your family has probably never seen anything as unique as the exhibits that can be found in the Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium. The museum is filled with unusual exhibits and other fun things that you would never find in any other type of museum. As soon as you drive up to the museum, you will notice right away that you are in for something different when you see the crooked building.

Gatorland

Gatorland is great place to spend the day viewing alligators and other interesting reptiles. Gatorland features many different reptile exhibits, as well as an aviary and a petting zoo. It gives the family a chance to learn about nature in an exciting atmosphere. Gatorland promotes conservation of alligators and crocodiles, while thrilling and entertaining their guests with the excitement of live shows. There is also a water playground where the kids can cool off when they are done visiting the animals.

Visit Blue Man Group Show at Universal's City Walk

A great way to spend the evening with your family is at the Blue Man Group show at Universal's City Walk. The Blue Man Group performance is a family friendly show filled with humor and music. It is a live theatrical show that gets the audience involved with the actors' antics and comedy. If you happen to get tickets in the first few rows of the theater, you should be aware that these are the splash zones and you may get splashed with paint.

Stuck on a Rainy Day?

If you get stuck in Orlando on a rainy day, you can keep the kids busy with a trip to DisneyQuest. DisneyQuest is an interactive experience for kids of all ages. Is it mostly filled with video games, but there are many different types of games and even rides inside DisneyQuest. DisneyQuest has five floors of entertainment, so it could take a while to see everything that the attraction offers, but be sure not to miss the virtual pirate and jungle raft rides. There is also a virtual roller coaster ride that allows you to build a track and then ride a roller coaster on the track that you built. Best of all, you won't have to keep putting quarters into a machine, as you pay one cover price and can play as many games as you would like until closing time.
