Same answer as everyone who asks similarly:

WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET? How long will they be here for? What time of year?

Central Florida isn't exactly "kid friendly" outside the big amusement parks. Pontoon rides might be great, but if your grands can't sit still then maybe not. There is only one playground in The Villages, at the edge of Sumter Landing Town Square. They MAY NOT play on the outdoor exercise machines in areas that have them, not even if they're supervised. Those aren't play toys, and they can be dangerous.

Make sure if you're using a golf cart, that you have enough seats to put one person in each seat. Just because YOU are a safe driver, doesn't mean the guy who hits you is a safe driver. The last thing you need is a 7-year-old flying out the side of the golf cart at 18mph because he wasn't able to sit security on a seat.

Family pools are great for little kids.

During certain seasons, Camp Villages offers activities for kids. They're part of the rec department, so you'd get in touch with your local rec center for details.
