Dig with the Dinosaurs
If your son is like many boys who love everything dino’, then the Animal Kingdom is the place for you! Take a trip over to the Boneyard where he can dig for fossils, ride the carnival themed rides, and even take on some of your favorite carnival games. These carnival games are one of the few attractions within the parks that aren’t included in the price of admission, but you do have the chance to feel like you’re spending an evening on the midway – and of course fun prizes await you!Sports fans have it made at the ESPN Wide World of Sports
Just outside the parks you’ll find ESPN Wide World of Sports, which has areas for baseball, soccer, football, tennis, soccer, and track and field. Special events are held throughout the year for the aforementioned sports, plus others like lacrosse volleyball, dance, and more. On days without a special event, it’s still worth the entry fee ($16 for adults and $11 for children) to look around, shop, and have a delicious meal.
