One of the places that my family and I always enjoy going is Old Town on 192 in Kissimmee. It is a fabulous place to take the kids and have a fun filled day, go for just an hour or two, or go at night and party a little. Old Town is a dead end street that is lined with shopping, eateries, bars, games and things to do. They have an arcade, electronic bull, the feats of strength games, and tons to do and see. On one end of the street there are smaller festival type rides and games and at the other end there is a free fall drop, laser tag, bumper cars, and small go-cart track
We enjoy the bouncy house glow-in-the-dark laser tag. It is only $5.00 per person and you get about 5 minutes of play. It is fun to jump, hide and run through the bouncy house while trying to remember it is laser tag and the idea is to shoot to win.
If you are looking for something to look at while you are enjoying your day Old Town has specialty nights. Thursday is bike night, Friday has newer custom and exotic cars, Saturday is all of the classic cars made before 1975 and the first Sunday of every month they have Latin night filled with music and dancing. All of the speciality nights you can wander around and look at the cars and they do a parade so you can pick a spot and watch them all cruise by you and then go look closer at your favorites.
Right outside of Old Town (otherside of the fence) is a Fun Spot USA. They have two go-cart tracks that are 3 stories tall and look like they intertwine. We do this often. It is about $8.00 per person to ride either of these tracks. They also have the superman high flyer if you want to take a try, 2 other leveled go-cart tracks, tons of festival type games and more. For a certain price you can buy arm bands that either cover all the rides except the go-carts or by a go-cart wristband and ride as many times as you would like.
Wanting to go out without the kids. They have something for you as well. Sun on the Beach transforms from a casual bar to a dance club when the sun goes down. Get there early and no cover will be charged to you. Not in the dancing mood, you can try the Blue Max Tavern where you can try your hand at Karaoke every night of the week.
We have a blast everytime we go to Old Town and try to go at least once a month.
I really enjoy doing things with my family on the weekends. When we first moved down here and I looked up "things to do in Orlando" in google I always got the same results - Disney, Universal, Gatorland, Sea World. There is so much more to do and see in Florida that is "Unknown" to those who visit and to even those that live here. I wanted to help others find things to do with their families so that they can create memories that they could look back on for years to come.
