You finally made it to the weekend and everyone is home and ready to spend some quality family time together. How about an Orlando Family Date Day? We know the problem, you’re out of ideas and in a rut. You don’t want to stay in the house, but trying to decide what will make everyone happy can be a challenge. Ready to be rescued? We put together some ideas for your perfect Orlando family date day for you and the crew to enjoy!
Orlando Science Center
777 E Princeton St, Orlando, FL 32803
This is fun for the whole family! The museum has fun for all ages. I think I had more fun than my two year old when I took him. Bring a picnic lunch, to enjoy under the trees in the field or grab a sandwich at their sub shop. Need a caffeine pick me up? Head to the 2nd floor for their hidden coffee shop.
Central Florida Zoo
3755 W Seminole Blvd, Sanford, FL 32771
Take a day to enjoy the wild side of Orlando. Central Florida Zoo is a home for 350 animals. Pet and feed some barnyard animals, give a long neck giraffe a snack, and see what a Rhinos skin feels like with their various side adventures you can take on your visit.
Movies in the Park
Depending on what area of Orlando you reside, there is a movie in the park nearby. Most of the set ups have a food truck or two, popcorn and treats for the family, but of course bring your blanket or comfy folding chair and enjoy a flick with the family on the lawn. Check out the link to see when the next one will be near you.
Kelly Park
400 E Kelly Park Rd, Apopka, FL 32712
As the temperature warms up, this is a great option to beat the heat over the weekend. With tubing and plenty of picnic space, this place is great for family time. They even have a great shallow spot for the kids to wade in and a sandy beach spot for your builders and diggers. Make sure you get there early, the park closes its lot once they reach capacity.
