Of course, local playgrounds like Winter Park Community and Phelps Park are always free too, and the springtime sunshine is making it a good idea to enjoy some time at the local playgrounds with shade.
Petting Zoos
Springtime is the perfect time to head to one of the many petting zoos in Orlando. Imagine all the cute baby chicks, ducklings, and other adorable animals you can meet. Just be sure to view all the information beforehand. Orlando is full of cute family farms, but many have limited operating hours.
