Florida with kids: 14 days from Orlando

Florida · 14 Days

Plan your own route Print Download Excel

Two weeks of Florida for the whole family: two park days in Orlando first, then rockets at Kennedy Space Center and sea turtles at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. On to Zoo Miami and into the Everglades with alligators on the Anhinga Trail, then down the Overseas Highway to the Keys – the coral reef at Key Largo, dolphins, butterflies and sunset at Mallory Square in Key West. The way back follows the calm Gulf Coast with shell beaches on Sanibel, Siesta Beach and the aquarium in Tampa, ending with the manatees of Homosassa Springs.

About 1,900 kilometres, usually one or two stops a day and plenty of time by the water. The drive from the Keys back to the Gulf Coast is the longest day. From Homosassa it is a good hour and a half back to Orlando. Most pleasant from November to April; manatees are easiest to see in winter.

A sample route to look at. If you copy it, your own copy lands in your plans – there you can change days, stops and order.
