Kissimmee Resorts With Children's Activities

Kids have their own ideas as to what constitutes a fun vacation. While its proximity to Disney World is a main Kissimmee, Florida, attraction, there are children's activities available at resorts that have nothing to do with Mickey's domain. Arts and crafts, games, swimming and more strenuous activities such as tennis and basketball will keep kids busy while parents are confident their children are well supervised.

Just a mile from Disney World, the Radisson Worldgate Resort offers various activities for children, including a Kid's Play Castle and game room, and an outdoor heated pool for the whole family. Older children may enjoy the basketball and tennis courts. There is a regular shuttle service to Disney World. Keeping in touch is no problem with the wireless Internet service available in guest rooms. Most guest rooms include a refrigerator and microwave to store and prepare snacks.
