Park alternatives...

Hi,

Our park visits are over for now, our past couple of trips have been park free...

I am looking at a few ideas in case we fancy a day out doing something (other than shopping and eating!), do you have any thoughts/feedback on the following please?

Ripleys
Andretti go karts
Idrive Nascar
Central Florida Zoo
Mini golf (looking for recommendations please)

Many thanks.

We haven't been to a park since 2010 but sadly haven't visited any of your list

Our needs as a couple of oldies may be different but how about

Winter Park (for the scenic lake tour and Morse Museum for Tiffany glass)
Leu Gardens
Bok Tower
Mount Dora for another lake and canal ride
St Augustine (oldest European settled community in the USA) - doable as a day trip
Then of course hundreds of beach options - AMI around 2.5 hours for example


Mick
