One of our favourite things to do when in Florida is take a ride on an airboat. It’s such an amazing experience, it really stuck in our memory from our last trip to Florida, so we were keen to try it again. We booked on with Spirit of the Swamp, our captain for the trip […]
Flying high in Orlando
I love the idea of skydiving. It’s not something I would ever do because I’m not a fan of flying and those little planes that take you up for your skydive put me right off. Also, there’s something that feels odd about doing bonkers stuff like that when you’ve got a tribe of little people. […]

A summer trip to Orlando isn’t complete without a day at a waterpark. There are quite a few to choose from now but Aquatica has recently been voted the Nation’s Best Outdoor Waterpark! There’s a ton of stuff to do at Aquatica for all the family and it’s one of those places where even if you […]
Things to do in Orlando with a family: Gatorland

Initially you think, surely this place can’t compete with the likes of Magic Kingdom and the whole Disney thing, […]
Things to do in Orlando with a family: Orlando Tree Trek
If you are looking for something a bit more physically challenging to do in Orlando, which still has the ‘thrill factor’, you could try out Orlando Tree Trek. Pretend like you are Tarzan or Jane and swing through the trees. We spent an amazing few hours at Orlando Tree Trek – it really is an […]
