Daytona has 23 miles of beach. The unique thing is that you can drive down and park on the beach. I was a little nervous when I first heard this. My kids aren’t used to this and they run around like lunatics when we are at the beach. There are specified traffic zones and speed limits in place. I just had to keep extra close watch on the kiddos. Parking is about $10.

This children’s museum is located inside the Museum of Arts and Sciences. My kiddos played here for hours. They loved running their own pizza parlor, pretending to be radiologists, and building their own race cars. There were several interactive and educational exhibits here.

 

Before our visit to the children’s museum, we were able to watch a very interesting planetarium show before . The museum offers a planetarium show for very young children as well.
