Grandson
 

I've heard of an attraction down near Orlando that's called "Swim With the Alligators". It may be for extremely difficult grandchildren though. Not sure.

Gatorland, Orlando, is fantastic. You see tons of gators, some huge. Your can feed the gators. You can wrestle a gator (perfectly safe and a great picture for the kids). You can see several entertainingly hilarious and educational shows and there is a splash park that the kids love when the weather is warm. All of this at reasonable prices. Their upgraded "Grunt" package is less than $40 for adults, $30 for kids.

You should take him for a boat ride through the Dora Canal and maybe lunch at the Lake Side Inn....

Chase Animal Sanctuary. In Webster, about a 30-40 drive. Look up their website. Great interaction with lemurs and other animals. Don't dress up!

Winter the Dolphin - Clearwater Marine Aquarium. We just took our 11 year grand son to this aquarium and marina rescue. It was very interesting. Also did a boat trip into Bay Area to do dolphin sighting and other wild life.

Great question. Great replies.
 

Thank you.

some of these things are suspended due to virus....check online or call before you go...I looked at many of these sites while making a "list" of things to do for visitors just within this past month, and this was on many of them...very disappointing

Head towards the Gulf and check out Crystal River I believe to see if the Manatees are around. Just a little south of there is a park on the Gulf with 2 beaches and plenty of swimming area. We had never been to the Gulf so it was cool for my wife and I.
