Believe it or not, these are the "main"
amusement or theme parks in the area. However, there are probably
another two dozen various theme or adventure parks located within easy
driving distance of the Beach House. These range from Gator Farms
to Everglades Parks to Dinosaur Land to Flight of Fantasy to ... You get
the idea. |

 | Busch Gardens - located in Tampa (1 hour
drive from the Beach House), this is one of my favorite theme parks.
It is a combination of an adventure park with rides and roller
coasters, a zoo (many animal settings), and Broadway (they have many
great shows). There is decent shopping as well. Overall, I
believe it is the best theme park for the price. It is great for
young to old alike. |

| |
| Disney - Animal Kingdom - located in Orlando
(2 hour drive from the Beach House), this theme park is a cross
between a zoo and a traditional Disney theme park. Smaller park
and fun for smaller children, teenagers do not get into this one too
much. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Disney - MGM Studios - located in Orlando (2
hour drive from the Beach House), this theme park of course focuses on
MGM movies and TV productions. It has many rides and exhibits,
it is a good park for the whole family. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Disney World - located in Orlando (2 hour
drive from the Beach House), this is their "traditional" theme park
that they started with. Note that this park is typically for
smaller children, whereas teenagers prefer Epcot over Disney World. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Epcot Center - located in Orlando (2 hour
drive from the Beach House), this is their World Entertainment
Showcase and is a great day out for the family. The exhibits,
shopping, and dining are really great. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Seaworld - located in Orlando (2 hour drive
from the Beach House), this is the traditional ocean theme park, but
they have added a lot of rides and exhibits over the past few years.
It is worth a trip back just to see all of the changes they have done. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Silver Springs - located North of Tampa (2
and 1/2 hour drive from the Beach House), this is an amazing
historical park where they filmed all of the old Tarzan movies.
Many shows and the springs are incredible - it is actually worth the
drive. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Universal - Islands of Adventures - located
in Orlando (2 hour drive from the Beach House), this theme park is
connected to Universal Studios and is basically a thrill ride park.
There are many rides and things to see - again based on their various
movie productions. |

|
| |
| Universal Studios - located in Orlando (2
hour drive from the Beach House), this theme park of course focuses on
Universal movies and TV productions. It has many rides and
