[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in and around Key Largo. John Pennekamp State Park is great with kids and definitely spring for the glass bottom boat tour, it's worth the money. You'll see a ton and the biologists who narrate them are all great. The aquarium in the visitors center is good as part of the larger visit but not enough on it's own.

There are a few places that do kayak tours of the mangroves and that time of year the bugs won't be bad (never do a mangrove experience between May-October, you will be sucked dry no matter how much spray you put on.) There are also stand-up paddle boat tours but my kids couldn't really pull that off until middle school.

For a dry day, not too far inland is the Miami Fruit and Spice Park, which my kids adore and always ask to visit. You can eat your way through the place (fallen stuff only, you can't pick anything) and the tours are fun, although you can also just wander. And if you go there, you need to also check out Knaus Berry Farm, which is just a few minutes away from the park and has life-changing sticky buns that are worth the line (trust me, you will end up going back to buy more to bring home after you taste them).
