Old Spanish Sugar Mill - De Leon Springs State Park

This pancake restaurant is entertainment in itself: Each table has a griddle, and diners cook their own pancakes from batter served at the kitchen. Along with the interactive mealtime, a swimming spring next door is a great way to cool off before or after the meal. The Mill is very popular, so expect to wait for a table during peak hours.

T-Rex Cafe – Lake Buena Vista

Here's something out of the ordinary: Let your kids dig up a dinosaur bone while you finish your meal. Part attraction, part restaurant, the T-Rex Cafe at Disney Springs combines a full restaurant with a huge range of dinosaur-themed activities to keep the kids amused. This place fills up —reservations are recommended and be prepared for a noisy ambience.

Via Entertainment - Leesburg

Kids of all ages can find something to do at Via Entertainment. The Leesburg location has a dedicated play space for kids under 55" with a ball pit, indoor bounce house, toys, and more. Older kids can go bowling, zoom around on go-karts, and play arcade games.

World's Largest McDonald's - Orlando

If you think you know McDonald's restaurants with play spaces, think again. This emblematic Golden Arches on Sand Lake Road is said to be the world's largest. It's open 24 hours, has three floors, a room full of arcade games, as well as a large indoor playground structure. The menu also offers an expanded version of the typical McDonalds' fare. Be aware that it can get crowded during busy times.
