Low-key indoor things to do in Orlando with a teen and a baby (stroller friendly, weekend visit)
Heading to Orlando for a quick weekend to visit family and trying to plan a couple low-key, mostly indoor things that work for an odd combo: a 14-year-old who gets bored fast and a baby who still naps in a stroller.
Yes, theme parks are the obvious answer, but we are skipping them this trip for time, money, and honestly I do not want to spend the whole weekend in lines. I searched the sub and found a lot of general tourist lists, but I am looking for specific recs that meet these points:
- Indoors or at least mostly shaded, bonus if it is good for afternoon rain
- Stroller friendly and not super cramped
- Something a teen might actually think is cool: hands-on, animals, science, art, etc
- Not super loud since the baby is still pretty sensitive to noise
We will probably be based somewhere central-ish and have a car, so driving is fine if parking is not a nightmare.
Also, if you have any go-to casual spots for an early dinner where a teen can eat something non-boring and a baby can sit in a high chair without side eye, please share.
What are your best suggestions for a realistic, parent-survival Orlando weekend?
