difficult to know what activities and events are right for you! Since 2014, the
Florida Kids and Family Expo has been bringing together 150 pre-natal, baby, toddler, kid, teen and family exhibits
to give families a chance to come out and try free trials, take advantage of
coupons, discounts and giveaways, all with the goal of helping local families
discover the many things that can be found right here in Central Florida that
will enrich your family life! The cost to attend is less than an outing to the
movie theatre, so hit the A/C on this summer weekend for a day full of making things, trying new things,
playing, bouncing, picking up free stuff, sliding, riding, discovering,
creating, watching, running, eating and discovering new ideas and opportunities
for your kids and family.
