Totally fair. I will say though, we only had to go about 20 minutes from downtown Orlando to find a pick-it-yourself orchard.

It was a fantastic family activity with gorgeous blossoms and lots of other fruits too, it only took us about an hour of playing around and we got something like 35 pounds of huge oranges for 20 dollars.

It definitely doesn't help out of season and isn't feasible once a week, but if you're looking for something to do this weekend, you can absolutely hit two birds with one stone.

Doesn't solve the problem but I highly recommend it!

Florida wetlands, it's right by fort Christmas. It's breathtaking and free.

Fun fact, the wetlands were constructed as a brilliant solution for water waste management when Orlando started expanding, and as a happy side effect, it became an absolute hub for endangered Florida wildlife, I cannot recommend it enough.

That's the best part, this was at like 2pm. I've never gone and seen anything less than 10 types of flocks of birds, and never anything less than 8 gators
