Cub Club at Central Florida Zoo – A Summer Option for Toddlers and Preschoolers
Summer camp for toddlers and preschoolers in Orlando is tough to come by. For the most part, your main option is private childcare or daycare. But there is a fun and educational option for little kids ages 2-5 during the summer at Central Florida Zoo and Botanical Gardens.
The Central Florida Zoo is one of our favorite things to do with toddlers in Orlando.
