Super quaint place for family fun. Rides, shops, fast food, attractions, car shows, and more. We loved trying the gator bites at Southern Breeze, and getting souvenirs at the many little shops. Kids can enjoy the arcade or magic show as adults stroll with a Marquetta in hand. It's only a five minute walk from Regal Oaks.

Less than an hour drive from Regal Oaks, this is a fun family place to relax on the lazy river with a float (rent there), or rent a kayak or paddle board. Low cost entrance and then rent what you need for about $8 each (at time of writing). Have fun!

Great atmosphere and food. We like to eat here and then take a nice walk around the lake. A nice 20 minute stroll after dinner. This place is only a 10 minute drive from the house.
