The short answerBeyond Disney and Universal, SeaWorld suits animal lovers and rides, LEGOLAND Florida suits children roughly aged two to twelve, and the Kennedy Space Center suits space fans of every age. Choose by what your family loves, and check each park's location and opening days.
The big two get the headlines, but other attractions can be better for some families.
| Attraction | Good for |
|---|---|
| SeaWorld Orlando | Animals, shows and rides |
| LEGOLAND Florida | Younger children, roughly two to twelve |
| Kennedy Space Center | Space fans, a full day trip |
| Water parks | Hot days and a break from queues |
