Orlando, Florida is a mecca of entertainment for families and for kids in particular. If your kids would rather play fun, interactive games and sports than stand in line at some amusement park, there are several places in the Orlando area where your kids can play anything from Disney state-of-the-art interactive games to sports like roller skating in its many forms.
The DisneyQuest Indoor Interactive theme park is located in Downtown Disney. Here, your kids get to become one of the Pirates of the Caribbean or even design their own roller coaster on their computer with the help of the Science Guy himself, Bill Nye. At the DisneyQuest Indoor Interactive theme park, your kids don't just watch the attractions, they become a part of it.
The Putting Edge Glow-in-the-Dark Mini Golf and Arcade fun centers are located across Canada and through several U.S. cities, including Orlando. Tickets are broken down into general (over 13) and junior (12 and under,) and as of 2011 featured a promotion where kids play free every Tuesday. Like its name suggests, guests play miniature golf courtesy of glow-in-the-dark courses. Party packages are available both for birthday celebrations and school or work functions.
Another entertainment center with glow-in-the-dark fun, this time in a bowling alley, is the Boardwalk Bowl and Entertainment Center. It has 80 lanes with packages that fit your entire family. Also provided is a youth summer camp for your kids when school lets out, and party packages for birthdays. These packages include bowling shoe rentals, balloons and tokens for the arcade. To add food to your party, simply upgrade your party package.
For a weather-proof way to get interactive, the Skate Reflections Entertainment Center in Kissimmee offers several ways to keep active whether rain or shine. Your child can graduate from the Learn-2-Sk8 program to Skating School, which can enrich her love of the sport of roller skating. It offers advanced skating classes, including advanced dance. More experienced skaters can join various clubs, including a speed skating club and an artistic skating club.
