Best Things To Do in Orlando with Kids this Spring: Our Spring Fun List
Spring is finally here and there's so much to do in Orlando! To go along classic spring holiday activities, like Easter egg hunts, Passover seders, Mother's Day brunches, there's a ton of great outdoors events that take advantage of mild temperatures and breezes. Other than some spontaneous thunderstorms and allergy-inducing seasonal pollen, spring has the capacity to create lifelong memories. We've created a fail-safe spring bucket list for your family to follow this season!
Whatever interests your family, spring is the time to try something new and enjoy beloved activities. Outdoorsy families will love hiking, kayaking, swimming, and ziplining; comfortable families will enjoy amusement parks, outdoor patio dining, and peruse farmers markets. It's really hard to go wrong when it comes to the many fairs, festivals, outdoor concerts, and more outdoor events that pop up during an Orlando spring.
