Conclusion:

Man, there’s a lot to do in and around the Tampa to Orlando area! It was hard to narrow it down to just ten (it was even harder not mentioning theme parks like Busch Gardens or Disney Springs), but we feel this list is pretty comprehensive of what you can expect from these areas. On our last trip, we went through Dinosaur World and the Florida Railroad Museum, and both were great places for families with small children as there weren’t too many stairs and minimal amounts of walking so they could enjoy themselves without getting worn out.
