Another fun place in Orlando: a water park with a wave pool, lazy river, and lots of rides including thrill-rides, multi-person rides, and rides just for kids.

Some 100 miles southwest of Orlando, this 335-acre theme park has thrill-ride roller coasters, water-rides, lovely grounds, African theming, and opportunities to view elephants, rhinos, giraffes, and more. This is a fun and pretty theme park that's manageable to do in one day.

Expand your trip to Orlando with a visit to the Kennedy Space Center, less than an hour away on Florida's "Space Coast", where you can visit the beach as well.
