Orlando Fun for Free (or Cheap)

Wish You Were Here!



As a mom I am always looking for fun free or inexpensive adventures that I can can have with my family. As my kids have gotten older it has gotten a little bit more challenging. Fortunately for me, I live in central Florida. Most people immediately think of Disney when I tell them where I live. But when planning a family vacation the budget is always a concern. So, yes....go to Disney. Enjoy the parks because there is a lot to see and do for all ages. But don't overlook the many other activities that sunny Florida has to offer. Several times during the month I will be posting about great places and people that you will not want to miss on your next Florida getaway. If you are a homeschooling family many of these trips offer great lessons in science and history. Feel free to share your experiences and tips with everyone.



Florida Air Museum in Lakeland, Florida

The Florida Air Museum, Florida’s “Official Aviation Museum and Education Center” features a dynamic display of the best examples aviation has to offer including one-of-a-kind designs, classics, ultra-lights, antiques and war-birds.
But the Museum is more than a collection of airplanes; it is a tribute to the history and joy of flight highlighting pioneers such as Howard Hughes, early air racers, and countless Floridians who have influenced the world of aviation. The Museum also offers a variety of unique year-round educational experiences for all ages including camps, tours, workshops and speaker presentations.
The Florida Air Museum continues to grow and meet the challenge of our mission – to be the premier showcase for Florida’s aviation history through exhibits, restoration and preservation, education and outreach and to share the passion of flight with all ages.
