If they like kayaking or canoeing, Silver Springs State Park up in Ocala has canoes or kayaks to rent, and it is really lovely. You can see gators, tons of birds, and there are several colonies of monkeys. Go first thing in the morning to avoid any crowds. There are also hiking trails in the park. We rented canoes for a couple hours and really enjoyed it.
