Ideas please for our time at the villa

[BaconAndAvocado]

We’ll be at the villa for 6 days and although we definitely want to get in a bit of chilling out round the pool, we’d also like to try some new things out away from the parks.

We’ve also done DC, KSC, Celebration (I’d like to go back here but DH showing no enthusiasm!).

We’re hoping to go to an Orlando City match.

We live by the beach in the UK so that’s not a huge pull for us unless it’s some thing spectacular!

Having said that DH has suggested deep sea fishing.

We don’t really want to be driving for hours to get anywhere.

We’re 2 adults and DCs are 14 and 15.

Thanks in advance.

Tubbing at Kelly Springs
How about cycling at Celebration
Tree top Trek but do it as early as possible
Car show at Old town the train to Winter park and the boat trip there
Apokia Wild Life drive
Air Boat Ride
Escape room
Just some of the things we’ve done

Thanks Gryff.

Which escape rooms did you do?would it be suitable for our DCs?

What is “tubbing”?

What did you see on the Apokia wild life drive?

[Gryff]

We used the one on I drive its suitable for teenagers or they can make it family friendly
Top tip play before midday there’s always offers with up to $30 sometimes
Tubbing basically you sit in a huge rubber ring thing and float or in may case fall out down the springs
We saw loads on the wild life drive again do it early and take a picnic and loads of water
We’ve also done the biolumicent canoe trip fantastic if you do the sunset one you just need bug spray
There’s also the Cinema at Margaretaville very close to Windsor palms you could combine that with one of the restaurants there
Zip lining , hot air ballon rides even I fly the indoor sky diving experience
Just look for coupons for everything

We did an escape room at Escapology, it was the only one I could find at the time that allowed you to have the room for your group only, others had you mixed in with other players. They often have Groupon deals too.
It was a lot of fun, we made it with seconds to spare but needed lots and lots of clues!

I saw your post about mini-golf - the crazy golf places like Pirates Cove on I-drive are fun and I suspect your teens would like them.

Definitely try some of the state parks though, there is tubing/kayaking etc, and it's not very expensive!

Saturday night motor racing at tracks like Volusia, New Smyrna, East Bay and Auburndale.
Minor League Baseball at Lakeland Tigers, Daytona Tortugas or Tampa Yankees.
Bok Tower Gardens
Mount Dora, Tuesdays is antiques day so lots of shops open and there's also the Chain of Lakes boat ride.
Lake Louisa State Park, some nice walks there and kayaking
Blue Springs State Park.

Lots of good ideas here! I’ll be taking note of these too. Thanks OP for posting the question.
