Indoor Experiences
As much as we love the pleasant weather in Orlando, sometimes things get too hot or even too cold. Thankfully there are plenty of indoor places in Orlando that are great for kids.
My family has been members of the Orlando Science Center for quite some time. We made the decision last year not to renew our family pass and now we’re regretting it. Great news! On Cyber Monday ONLY, Monday, November 27, memberships are 15% off!
The 15% discount will be applied automatically, turning a family membership to the Orlando Science Center from $189 into $160.
Another favorite indoor place to play in Orlando is the Crayola Experience. Any child who loves to create will love this place. Annual Passes to Crayola Experience are $38.99 per person, which is a great option if you live close by.
Of course, if your kid(s) have boundless energy then a visit or membership to one of the many Trampoline Parks in Orlando will be a blessing for parent and child alike.
