So happy I moved to an adult community.

Zip lining
 

Take them zip lining up in Ocala. I took my granddaughter and it was excellent.

My granddaughter and her friend just did that and had a great time. It’s called The Canyons. Age limit is 10 and 70 lbs.

Check out camp villages a program put on by The Villages Parks & Recreation dept for grandkids 3 to 16 years old.

Skip the big parks go to fun spot. A lot less $ and more time on the rides not wait in lines.

This is a really good air boat ride. We loved it.

Silver Springs State Park in Ocala; glass bottom boat tours.

Have them weed the garden and lawn, clean windows, paint interior rooms. Then reward them with trip to one of the amusement or theme parks for a day. Not joking. This is what I did when I visited my grandparents, and I enjoyed every minute of it with them.

Things to do with grand kids
 

We took our grand kids to the Gator world park on Rte 44 just outside the Villages. Thay loved it. The got to hold one with it's mouth taped closed. They also got to fed babies, hotdog on a fishing pole.

Sky Zone in Ocala is fun for that age!

Things to do for 11 and 12 year olds
 

Gatorland in Orlando is a must. The kids will love it, and it is not too pricey like Disneyland and Universal are.

Activities
 

Paynes Prairie Park near Gainesville has about 50 Bison which is awesome to see for all ages. Part of our countries history and they are so cool

The CAT boats around the lakes then through Dora Canal . Granddaughter loved it the height of her trip last year. Cat boat adventures ! Way fun

Camp Geneva in Fruitland Park had horseback riding. You need to contact them for information.

Why is Lake Weir unsafe?
