Ours that age really liked Gator Land. We've done several of the "biggies", like a stay at Disney and all the Disney parks, but that's a pricey option to do over and over. So, we took them to Gator Land, reasonable entrance with Florida resident option, and they 10 and 12 year old LEARNED and great deal about gators and crocks which they had only previously seen in a zoo briefly.

Silver Springs was another very reasonably priced outing ours really enjoyed, along with another day visit to Gator Land visit.

Because it has a lot of red allergy in it right now, because of lack of rain and high heat

There are rage rooms in ORL but like your suggestion, 11or 12 may be an obstacle. International Drive has a ton to do for that demo. Not too far and if you don’t want to drop the kings ransom at a WDW park....it’s not a bad consolation. Pretty decent food for kids down there as well

Shooters World would be great too

Give them a book of matches and tell then to go play upstairs.

There is an escape room in Wildwood. I FLY in Orlando. First Responders has putt golf and a game room. Closer to home, we did a scavenger hunt in Sumter Landing and a night time with flashlights small gift hunt. But mostly they love the pool and golf cart. We took a golf cart ride to Fenney and had a picnic in the back and then walked the trail to see turtles and gators. Stopped on the way back for ice cream at Peachwave (yogurt), Scooples, or Haagen Daas.

You could always take them for a ride on an alligator.
