Can you believe the holidays are just around the corner?! Parents in the Orlando area, or those visiting Central Florida in December, looking for magical, over-the-top holiday destinations within driving distance, look no further! We rounded up places to take kids to see incredible decorations, visit Santa, enjoy seasonal activities, and possibly stay overnight for a holiday-themed getaway. With so many great Orlando Christmas events during the month of December, the most difficult choice you will have to make is deciding where to go!

Central Florida's warm climate allows for the use of outdoor parks, including skate parks, all year long! Orlando skate parks obviously welcome skateboarders, but many also allow BMX bikes, kick scooters, and inline skates. Added bonus? Most of these skate parks are free. Channel your inner daredevil and check out these cool skate parks in Orlando! 

No matter the weather outside, an Orlando arcade is always prime summer entertainment. Arcades offer a fun respite from summer's brutal heat and neverending showers. More than just video games, many of these arcades offer additional attractions like bowling, go-karts, and more. Kids and teens (and many parents) will love playing at these arcades, so take a look at our top finds!
