Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Apopka

"Stroll the less-than-a-mile-long loop around Lake Eola Park in Downtown Orlando, where you can snap photos of the swans (both real and of the paddleboat variety) gliding through the water. If you time it right, you might also be able to catch a free concert or event at the park’s Walt Disney Amphitheater."

"Pack a picnic and park yourself on the grounds of Lake Eola Park to enjoy the delightful Florida winter weather. Take a sweet stroll around this scenic park and you can even enjoy the lake from a swan boat. Have your camera ready because you'll likely see some real swans on the water as well."

"Lake Eola Park sits in Orlando downtown on 512 East Washington Street. The park has a 0.9-mile sidewalk that surrounds the lake!. It’s the ideal spot for visitors who would want to track their walking or running distances."

"Featuring 50 acres of gorgeously cultivated gardens boasting more than 40 diverse plant collections from around the world, Harry P. Leu Gardens is located 15 minutes from downtown Orlando. It's also the site of a beautiful, 1880s-era family home, the Leu House Museum, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Learn more: Downtown Orlando"

"Harry P Leu Gardens is a 50-acre botanical oasis just minutes from downtown Orlando. It's peaceful, relaxing and of course beautiful. A stroll through this haven is ideal for date day, but you may want to mark your calendar for the first Friday night of each month and a special showing on Valentine's Day."

"Another Orlando staple has got to be the Greenery Creamery, Orlando’s little ice cream boutique!. The Greenery Creamery is Orlando’s first artisanal ice cream shop that is proud to serve traditional dairy and plant-based ice cream made from fresh, organic, and natural ingredients. Their first location is right in the heart of Thorton Park near Lake Eola, and it was such a success that they opened up another shop in downtown Sanford in Henry’s Dept Culinary Collective Food Hall!"

"Orlando’s first-ever artisanal ice cream boutique is conveniently located in Downtown Orlando. The ice cream here is 100% organic and fresh, without an additive, artificial flavouring or thickener in sight. Traditional dairy ice cream is made with locally sourced cream from grass-fed Orlando cows, while vegans can take their pick from coconut, peanut butter, sunflower butter, almond or soy bases."

"The Greenery Creamery offers both vegan and regular ice cream. Their flavors are always changing but in the past they have had flavors such as cardamon rose, lavender honey, pineapple tamarind, black ash coconut, and more."

"Ice & Bites Cafe has officially raised the bars for bubble tea craft. On top of their desserts range that includes ice cream in different presentation, as well as a hefty food menu, their bubble tea menu is probably the most impressive of them all. Not only do they have the classic bubble teas of a variety of milk tea and fruit tea flavours, their hottest menu item has got to be the Boba Sake or Soju Flight, where directly imported sake from Japan and soju from South Korea are mixed with freshly made toppings including popping pearls, fruity flavoured ones and the classic sugar pearls."

"Step out of the hot Florida sun and into a Korean oasis to quench your sugary appetite. With fresh ingredients purchased from local markets and recipes created on-site, Ice & Bites Café offers a truly unique experience. The Taiyaki is just as mouth-watering as it is eye-pleasing."

"Full disclosure: I've never read a Harry Potter book or watched a movie so I have no idea what significance Butter Beer has to the story. All I know is, on a hot, stank, the-air-is-suffocating-me type of day at Universal, I live for a Frozen Butter Beer followed only by a trip to get some pistachio soft serve at Florean Fortescue's. As a proud Universal pass-holder I can tell you when you are about to keel over from heat exhaustion a frozen butter beer actually brings you back to life."

"Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream Parlor is one of those locations that any Harry Potter fan would tell you is a staple in the books, and it was a must add to Diagon Alley when it opened at Universal Studios Orlando. The location is on the corner in front of Gringotts Bank, and can’t be missed, with a giant rotating ice cream out front. Lines can often be long here and there is no indoor seating – and not much seating in the surrounding area – but it’s worth it to try this ice cream!"

"Service is absurdly slow I’ve seen turtles move quicker than the workers in this ice cream shop. With how busy they are they n..."

"Gelato-Go has locations in Florida and New York, and our local shop sits pretty on Park Avenue. I’m happy to report that their gelato is rich and creamy, and not at all icy or bland. The flavors run the spectrum so whether you want something light and fruity or deeply chocolate you’ll be satisfied."

"This park is not to be confused with Kraft Azalea since this park is actually located south of Lake Eola near Downtown Orlando!. This park is actually a local’s secret!. If you’re wanting some privacy without being in the public’s eye but still want a beautiful park with flowers and moss trees, this is the spot!"

"The beauty of nature is perfectly exemplified by this park in the middle of downtown Orlando. This urban park is much like a nature reserve, and has plenty of lush landscapes, greenery, rocks, tunnels, and bridges. Whether you want a lush backdrop or a rustic stone backdrop, Dickson Azalea park has you covered."

You’ll enjoy fantastic sunrise views during breakfast, although the sky puts on its own colorful show during sunset. Po tip: For the best sunset views, book a private sailing tour aboard a 25 foot sailboat with Sailing Orlando ahead of dinner to see the sunset from Lake Fairview."

"There are few foods more classically suited for takeout than Chinese. Before there was a proliferation of foam clamshell boxes and plastic containers, there was the folded paperboard box with wire handle that became synonymous with Chinese takeout. So much so that even today the emoji for takeout food is that little box."
