My grandchildren (8 and 10) and their 30 something parents visited in February. Also, no amusement parks this time. I was concerned that I would not have enough activities to fill up a day -- but I was pleasantly surprised.

We did an activity each morning and then went to the pool in the afternoon. We did Fiesta Bowl bowling (get the schedule for open bowling and be prepared for a short wait), miniature golf, saw the movie Peter Rabbit, and took a golf cart ride. I found that after their parents detached them from their IPADS and they got ready to go it was mid morning already. One activity (as above) then lunch and pool did the trick. We went out to dinner each evening too so that added to the entertainment.

We had a hard time getting them out of the pool (it was 85 degrees in February) and I was really surprised cause their are no slides or water features. I guess coming from the frozen north that just the sun was a big entertainment feature.

Thanks for the airboat ride suggestion. I had also researched horse back riding at Blue Moon Ranch near 466A. $50 per person for a one hour lesson/trail ride with supervision so the kids generally go out alone. They were really nice about showing me the set up when I went out there to see it.

Good luck and have fun and remember to factor in IPAD use.

Sounds like a fun time. Soooo much to do here! Thank you for ideas.
