Orlando, Florida - Top 10 Family Spring Break Vacations

Being Florida’s largest inland city, Orlando was a popular getaway during the years between the Spanish-American War and World War I. And it’s the second largest city in the United States for the number of hotel rooms. Even though Orlando is well-known for its theme parks and thrill rides, there are many other attractions throughout the area. Several fine arts museums and state parks are located within greater Orlando, not to mention the incredible shopping and family-friendly restaurants.

If the kids are looking for something completely different from the norm, visit Gatorland, home to alligators, crocodiles and daily alligator wrestling. Or for something out of this world, visit the Kennedy Space Center. It’s only 45 minutes from Orlando but it’s a world apart for activities from giant rockets to “training” in spaceflight simulators. If you want action, adventure, chivalry and, well, jousting, visit Medieval Times in Kissimmee. With no shortage of attractions and lodging, Orlando makes an incredible family getaway – and in spring, it’s far enough away from the crowded college vacations!
