One of the perks of living in Central Florida is the doable-day-trip proximity of so many fun things to do. About an hour away from my house is one of these great options, the
Harry P Leu Gardens in Orlando, Florida. I got to visit for the first time not too long ago and I was super surprised to find this 50 acre garden oasis right in the heart of Orlando.

Leu Gardens is only $10 for adults, $3 for kids in Grades K- 12, and free for children 4 and younger. It's a great affordable day activity to get outside and walk, enjoy nature, and take a break from the frantic pace of Orlando.
Leu Gardens is located at 1290 North Forest Avenue, Orlando, Florida 32803. They are open everyday from 9 AM- 5 PM, every day except December 25. See t
heir website for upcoming special events!
Thanks for this post! I wouldn't have thought it would be a good place for kids, but at that price it's worth a try!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karissa! The place is so big, I think they'd probably have fun running around and exploring :)
