- Go to the movies.
- Visit an amusement park. Yes, there are the big ones in Orlando, but also think Zoomers, Gator Mike’s, Sun-N-Fun Lagoon or Sun Splash Family Waterpark.
- Have dinner out at a favorite spot. Kids love restaurants where food is prepared tableside, like a Japanese steakhouse with hibachi tables.
- Go bowling.
- Take a day trip to a neighboring town.
- Attend a sporting event. Southwest Florida has hockey, Minor League Baseball and Major League spring training.
- Be a tourist for the day, visiting the zoo, the beach or other local attractions.
- Let your child pick a place they would like to visit.
