I have 3 little girls. A set of 2 year old twins and a 5 year old. My inlaws are coming into town and we want to go to an amusement park, zoo, or something fun with the kids. Any thoughts on which amusement parks are the best for this age? It needs to be something my 2 year old twins would enjoy. Or any other places I am open to as well. I just want us to all have a fun day. What about Lowry Park Zoo? I'm open to suggestions. I live in Spring Hill, Florida, so I am close to both Orlando and Tampa. Thanks for your ideas.
Have you been to Homosassa Wildlife park, it's closer than the other places you mentioned and very kid friendly, go north on 19 to Homosassa it's on the left. Take the boat to the park, alternatively you can walk or drive there. There's all kind of birds and animals, interactive stuff, the hippo, manatees, places to eat, gift shops, something for all ages from your 2's to inlaws.
Have you looked into Weeki Wachee Springs on 19 & 50? They have a lot to do as it is a water park. Also in Homassassa there is the Satae Wildlife Park I think it is called on 19. Its like a little zoo.
I have a 6 year old and a 3 year old. We have fun at Disney (even when she was 2)but they are kind of pricey unlewss you have annual passes. There is a petting zoo in Orlando that we went to last year and they both really enjoyed it. My older one even got to milk a cow! There are pony rides and a train ride and a playground, and an old fire truck to climb on. It is called Green Meadows petting farm. I am new to Spring Hill and looking for some playmates for my girls. Maybe we could get them together.
There are a few places to go with your 3 girls. The Tampa Aquarium is a great place and when they are finished inside there is a water area with slides and a pirate ship that is great fun if it is hot and they want to cool off. Make sure they wear their bathing suits underneath or there is a changing room too. (check out their website)
Also MOSI the Science Museum is another great place. They might get bored in the main museum but there is a hands-on building that they will love! And you can relax in there while they play.
Also if you like parks Lowry Park Zoo is great as well as Busch Gardens and SeaWorld. They both have waterparks across from them as well. If you go to the websites you can get tickets/packages for 1 or more parks. Right now I believe they are offering residents "pay one price - play all year" so you can go back as many times as you want until Dec. 31st.
I'm not even sure if you would have to pay for the 2 year olds at some of these places?
I also live in Spring Hill and if you don't want to go too far you can go to Pine Island - beach or Homosassa Springs Park which is about 1/2 hour North on US HWY 19.
Have FUN!
