Disney World
Although Walt Disney World was built after Disneyland, it is now the most popular Disney resort. Part of the reason for this is because there are four parks inside Walt Disney World. These parks include Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. Magic Kingdom is a favorite among young children. It includes rides such as "It's a Small World After All" and "Peter Pan." This park is also a pleasant place for golfers to visit. There are five golf courses within the Walt Disney World Resort.

Wet 'n Wild
Wet 'n Wild is one of the most fun attractions for kids in Orlando who like to get wet. This water park features a number of thrill rides for older visitors, but there are many attractions for younger kids as well. "Bubble Up" is an attraction that allows children to climb to the top of a huge bubble and slide down into three feet of water. Wet 'N Wild features an area called "Kids' Park" that features miniature versions of the park's most popular attractions. You may want to finish the day at "Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf," which is on the same street as Wet 'n Wild.

Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum
Children love this museum before they even get inside. From the outside, the building appears that it is sinking into a sinkhole. One of 27 Ripley's museums in 10 countries, this museum features wax figures of people like the world's tallest man, shrunken heads and full-sized cars made from match sticks. This museum is a block from Edwin Watts Golf, a large golf equipment and apparel store.
