Let’s face it, when people think Orlando they think Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resorts and Sea World. And while all of these places are great, there are so many great things to do in Orlando with your toddler. After speaking to a few other families that relocated to Orlando with what I like to refer to as little humans, they have given me the go ahead to share with you a few great places they would like to recommend.
Monkey Joe’s (2 Locations) 9101 International Drive 5471 Lake Howell Road Orlando, FL 32819 Winter Park, FL 32792

At Monkey Joe’s you will find A LOT of inflatable bounce houses in all shapes and sizes. Seriously, what toddler (and some adults) wouldn’t love this? Everywhere you look there are bounce inflatables, giant slides, climbing walls and more. Best part for toddlers, however, is that there is a separate play area for kids 2 and under. This area is called Mini Monkey Joe’s. Parents can relax and let their kids interact with other little humans, all while under the supervision of Monkey Joe’s staff members.
