Green Meadows petting zoo (or farm, can't remember which it is). We've been told it's a lot of fun for that age group.

I've heard Gatorland on Orange Blossom Trail near Florida Mall is a good day too.

We've just spent the day at the Orlando Science Center. The current Star Wars exhibit is fantastic and we topped the day off with watching the Polar Express on their newly rejuvenated Adventure Theatre, which has an incredibly high definition 3D projection/screen system.

Also we were at the Showcase of Citrus today on US27. It was very busy! Great for U-Pick citrus fruits, which is great fun, and if you want you can do the monster truck swamp buggy tour. This is an old school bus which has been converted into a monster truck. We didn't do it today as we've done it twice before, but it's great fun - especially throwing oranges to the cows to feed them (note the word "to" and not "at"!!).

Out on highway 27 there is an orange stand that had tours on a big school bus painted like a zebra that tour the orange groves.
