What is there to do with kids in Valrico?

Answered by Jennifer L.

Plenty. Lithia Springs Park for swimming, Edward Medard for fishing and picnics, Bloomingdale Park for playgrounds and sports. TopGolf is about 15 minutes west. iFLY indoor skydiving and Urban Air trampoline park are in Brandon. Dinosaur World in Plant City (15 min east) is great for younger kids. The Florida Aquarium and ZooTampa are about 30 minutes away. Most families say there's always something to do within a short drive.
