Orlando Science Center

We planned to head to SeaWorld while we were down in Orlando for our long weekend, but the weather was really rainy. So we found coupons to the Orlando Science Center and headed there for the day.

I remember going to the Science Center a lot as a kid, but had only been the the new one once and that was over 10 years ago. We ended up spending several hours there and had a really great time.

We headed down to the first level to see the alligator feeding.

Inside the hurricane wind tunnel. It was hard to open your eyes, and the only thing blowing was wind.

We had a really fun time there and I think there’s a lot more to do as the kids get older.
