Grandkids Are Coming to Visit You At The Villages
Grandkids are coming to town, and suddenly the question becomes, "What are we going to do with them?"
Whether they're toddlers, teenagers, or somewhere in between, this page is designed to help you find experiences they'll actually remember. From animal encounters and hands-on attractions to springs, airboats, adventure parks, museums, and rainy-day activities, you'll discover ideas both in and around The Villages.
This page has a lot of filters because grandkids can have a lot of interests—and those interests can change overnight. You may want to enlist the parents' help to identify today's interests. Yesterday's dinosaur lover may be today's space enthusiast.
And, believe it or not, the perfect activity for a 7-year-old may not always be located in the middle of a retirement community, just 10 minutes away by golf cart. Some of the most memorable experiences are a short drive away, so I encourage you to look beyond the bubble and keep an open mind.
You'll do great! Use the filters below to narrow your options by age, interests, location, and activity type—and get ready to earn your title as the Coolest Grandparent Ever.
