Attractions in the Southeastern US to visit?

[jdk]

In a few weeks we are planning on taking a drive for some sight seeing around the Southeastern US (GA, KY, TN, AL, SC, NC - or even Northern FL area). What are some good areas to visit that are kid friendly?

Orlando FL (northern-ish), maybe St Augustine (oldest city in the US) - just south of Jacksonville, FL.

St Augustine would be an option. Forgot about that one.

Orlando we can go to any time as its only a couple hours north. Looking for more out of the state or something to visit along the way.

I just got back from Key West, Miami and Orlando. Great places, but Key West is my favorite if the weather is fine. If you got kids, Orlando is a must (Disney World, Universal Studios and a dozen of other theme parks).

If you decide to visit Orlando, check out Radisson on Parkway Blvd. Awesome hotel for kids; huge gameroom, two big swimming pools, spas and even a waterslide and waterfall. The price was very fair also.

Edit: Didn't read this.

Yes, Radisson rules. It's very close to Disney as well.

jdk, if you like waterparks try Southern Georgia, very close to the FL border to the north of Jax. I can't remember the name but it was a blast!

Forgot to mention, kids are 3 and 2. I am thinking the Atlanta Zoo may be nice, although we live 5 mins from Lion Country Safari here in WPB.

I think the Atlanta Aquarium is better.

I hear that the aquarium in Atlanta is extremely nice (up there with the Boston aquarium). We almost went there one day when we were in Macon for a dog show but didn't make it.

Make sure to keep a real close eye on your kids while visiting disney world because of the crowds..etc etc ...but have fun, I want to go to Orlando..and hit the bars there..

If you & the wife have time, Helen GA is a beautiful place, and it should be about time for octoberfest. Not sure if there's much for the kids though.
