Orlando Science Center

The center is an excellent (if expensive) example of its type, and recent investment has bestowed it with some fun, large-scale set pieces that make it feel more like a hands-on play complex than an educational facility, including a giant network of tubes kids blow kerchiefs through; a three-level indoor playhouse; play troughs pumping with water; a toddler version of a citrus farm; and an outdoorsy-looking NatureWorks with baby gators, turtles, and snakes. However, in a town so crowded with amazing things for kids, if you have a good science museum back home, you could probably skip it.
