Hi - We are from Jacksonville/Orange Park, FL. The Cummer Museum
is located on the banks of the St. Johns River and is wonderful. The
gardens are lovely, massive oak trees, and the art exhibits are
outstanding. The museum appeals to all ages.

Take a day trip and enjoy!

I Hour Drive from Lake Sumter Landing.

I would recommend a Day trip to Catch these.

If you have kids 3 to 18 with you the Orlando Science Center
may take ALL DAY by itself.

Mennello Museum of Art @ 900 E. Princeton in Orlando
Very Small but nice. Located at entrance of Parking Ramp across from
Orlando Science Center. Has small free parking lot also
( Grounds adjacent and behind make wonderful photo opportunities)
If pressed for time , skip this one.

Orlando Science Center 777 E. Princeton (Closed Wednesday)

Without a doubt, the Very BEST Science Center within 500 miles.

Huge on several floors. Has elevators
Interactive Exhibits. ALL floors Truly amazing.

KIDS 3 to 18 love this place.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Orlando Museum of Art. ( Closed Mondays)
2416 N. Mills Ave in Orlando 32803

Very nice all one floor. Plenty of free Parking.
This is a must see.

Beautiful settings.
