There is the obvious stuff in Orlando like Universal, Disney, Sea Worldetc

A few other considerations:
  • Florida Carriage Museum (20 minutes)
  • Renninger's Antique Mall and Flea Market in Mt Dora (30 minutes)
  • there are several interesting things to do in Tarpon Springs (1.5 hours away) including sponge diving, fishing, etc.
  • manatees around Crystal River (1 hr)
  • Daytona Speedway and Daytona Beach (1.75 hrs)
  • Cypress Gardens (1.75 hrs)
  • a different way to see the Orlando area is in a hot air balloon, for example
  • Silver Springs in Ocala
  • Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing near Ocala

If you are interested in aviation:
  • Kennedy Space Center
